I would have walked the moment they asked for a camera to be installed in a toilet.

A camera in a toilet sounds really odd to me. Outside a door maybe, but not inside. That sounds like voyeurism.

ermm, by uploading this video you may be compromising your court case. Did you ask your solicitor about this? I would set it to private to prevent it being viewed until you know it's OK to make it public.

Under 10k I’ve never been to mediation, usually they respond and then it’s court

As soon as they start mithering about this and that you just know they are just seeing how many hoops you will jump through. Once they think they can mess you about you can guarantee the end game is not paying or only part paying. You ought to have standard terms and conditions for each job if it is of any size - your trade body should have something you can use. Classic mistake of being a bit short of work and thinking anything is better than nothing - next time I'd keep walking if I were you.

Great video, but just a word of advice, please don't record being in a moving vehicle whilst still putting on your seatbelt or having your hands off the wheel. Things like that can mean penalty points or losing licenses if someone's being an asshat.

Wait what is a wifi point?

i dont think its my responsibility to check the order.....well arnt u a life saver

You are within your rights to go in and take your property back "cable" if they haven't paid for it, I reckon they will soon pay up if you do so

No work or not let it be a lesson to trust your gut feeling. People like this and we all know who they are without saying never pay for anything and never usually get decent people to do their work if they intend to pay for it. That's why the work was so bad first time around. Chances are you would never have ever got paid no matter what. They need teaching a lesson to stop it happening again to anyone else. Note for the future though if in doubt walk away the signs are always there with people like this. It's better to have no work and the chance of work with someone else that all the hassle and work for free for people like this :)

Some customers just aren't worth having. I'm actually more interested in the stuff you were fitting in this video than the story though. What are they? PoE WiFi APs that fit in a standard box?

You 100% deserve to get paid for the work. However having no defined scope of work and the acceptance of extra work once started does leave you vulnerable. Take them to court and good luck.

Just avoid these customers

Am I supposed to select the resolution when I am setting these 4k cameras up or is that automatic? I have six of them and my complaint is soon as you zoom in on something during playback mode the picture pixilates so bad the image is useless.

100% take them to court

You deserve to be paid!! Loving your videos 🥰❤️

Get paid at end of every day

That mechanical HDD is not going to survive in that loft. Summer temps will be 40-45c up there, meaning the HDD will hit 70c at least, and then fail very quickly. The ethernet run was shocking really, i would have done a better job than that. Plus i would have put a small network switch in the loft and then the customer could fit an upstairs WiFi AP to give far superior coverage.

I would avoid putting equipment like DVRs in the loft if possible. The temperature up there can swing from ~0C to over 40C over the course of a day, and this constant cycle of temperature change could shorten the life of electronic equipment like hard drives. Condensation can also form in loft spaces when it's cold, which can also impact the life of electronics. A DVR would be much happier in the living space. Edit: I don't know that specific device, but it looks like you blocked the air vent holes by screwing it to the timber.

Great video really enjoyed it, One question though about the recorder, isnt the loft to hot for locating it especially in the summer.

Hi, thanks for the video. Im using a smart hybrid light 8mp, 2.8mm version of this camera (DS-2CD2387G2H-LIU). Its IR during night switching to color with illumination once motion detected. I get quite a bit of ghosting of a moving person, my exposure is set at 1/100, which settings would you recommend for this camera please?

Better having wire where they can be seen but not reached as there are too many fake cameras now and theyll just think they arnt real and still try amd get in.

Address shown, thieves now know where the cables are and how to CUT them off. Really bad GDPR compliance here. I would NOT be happy if this was my house!! at 06:14 you show the connection QR code, which is easily viewable and easily scannable using the HK connect app. THIS IS APPALLING PRIVACY BREACH

Why did you not run hdmi and mouse (hardwire or bluetooth dongle) from the nvr to a tv for monitoring/config etc?

What recording system do I need for these? I am ordering 9 cameras but eventually want 16. I don’t know what 16 channel recorder will be enough to store 30 days of footage minimum? Thank you!

Lovely install 👌 Although I hate how bulky the junction boxes for the cameras are! I drilled a bigger hole to fit the entire camera cable through the brickwork so I could mount the camera directly to the wall 😂

nice video mate im your 620th subscriber👍

Which NVR are you using that can keep up with 25fps @ 4K?

Looks great though I think you devalue the house by making it look a bit like a prison. Depends on the neighbourhood I guess.

why didnt you run the internet feed up into loft the same as cameras via the cavity?

Have a question about DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL Cameras. If purchasing these from Hikvision direct US, And im from australia - will theyy work here, setting them up and all??

Harry, thanks again for the fantastic video! You’re doing an excellent job-keep it up! If you continue this way, I have no doubt you’ll soon be recognized as a leading CCTV expert. Wishing you all the best, and please keep up the great work!

Certainly don't need cat 6 or more for these distances. But the outdoor rating will certainly help the lifespan and is tougher than normal 5e. A single 1080p analogue camera uses approximately 150-200kbps, so that's about a fifth of 1Mbps ! Good clear vid. Thanks

PPE?

I'm not sure it's a good idea to place the recorder in the loft, what with all the micro fibreglass particles being sucked in.

I recommend WiFi Wireless cameras

Very good, but how you can move the loft insulation with just your hands 😂 my hands would be ruined for days

That’s great work, I worked for BT for 30 years and saw some horrors, mostly perpetrated by my colleagues, black wires clipped to white skirtings, one moron clipped a black drop wire ( overhead feed wire) around the edge of the customers coving across their living room, because he couldn’t be bothered to move the furniture, change the wire and go round under the carpet… ( not allowed to move furniture not allowed to lift carpet edges ) but the old lady didn’t seem bothered, but the service had still failed almost immediately. Another moron drilled the wall with a 600mm drill and drilled the piano. I could write a book on the appalling work done by some of them .

So nice to see someone doing it the right way for a change 😊

Can you run the cameras at lower resolution to gain increased fps, being set on the NVR? I would have thought if this can be done, the 8mp camera would still provide a better image, as it should be benefiting from a higher resolution sensor and down-sampling, or is that not how these cameras work?

Luckily certain types of cavity insulation doesn’t degrade pvc cable insulation… oh wait, it does!

Nice to see cavity drops, all i see is cat5 or rj45 thrown over the roof!

@harrysolutionsltd7254 I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the exceptional clarity and ease of your installation process; it truly showcases the expertise one would expect from a seasoned professional such as yourself. I have a small inquiry regarding your content that I hope you might assist me with. I find your videos to be not only very enjoyable but also incredibly informative for those of us who are enthusiastic about DIY projects. In particular, I was quite captivated by this specific video as I am hoping to achieve a similar result in my own home. My residence features a wooden framing system that includes fire blocks between each row, which makes it challenging for the rods to penetrate further into the interior wall structure. Unfortunately, my attempts to utilize these rods have not been fruitful thus far. Additionally, I am a bit apprehensive about drilling holes in the wall, as I fear it might lead to extra patching and an untidy situation. Would you be so kind as to suggest an alternative method that might help me overcome this challenge? I would be immensely grateful for your guidance.

Agree no need for Cat 6 or 6a. 5e supports a gig, and most cameras only use 10s of megs

I was thought current electrical regulations dont allow electrical cables in cavities now

I'd suggest making it future proof and running CAT6, it's not even that much of a price increase.

These Colorview cameras at night time have a flaw in the firmware they don't do intrusion detection or line crossing notifications at night - it just does not work

nice job, i learnt something. Except the holes you used to mount the control box, are ventilation, not mounting. Did you put a "spacer" behind the unit? I would have done the same (using the cavity,), except, my house is 1930's and doesnt have a cavity.

Wouldn’t Wi-Fi cameras have been better - much easier to install and cheaper (including cheaper to upgrade when the time comes). I’m using a couple of Tapo WiFi cameras outside, cost around £110 combined, self-installed, battery lasts 5 to 6 months before recharging, all perfect.

I've got Hikvision 4k cameras, I was told by the old bill my footage was better than most shops they go to 😂
