One step forward, then one step upward…
Yesterday I spent a fair amount of my time up a 20′ ladder, then some more time up that ladder in the rain, and then a little more time up that ladder in the drizzle.
Yes, the ongoing household CCTV project continues, yesterday saw:
- The removal of old RG6 (for CATV and satellite) from the outside walls of the house (and the holes that had been drilled into the walls sealed).
- The reconnection of the perimeter cameras on the new permanent wiring and removal of the temporary wiring.
- Relocation and reconnection of the surveillance system hardware and DVR to it’s new permanent home.
One camera location is giving me trouble, naturally it’s the most difficult to access camera and I was getting frustrated trying to trouble shoot the problem in the rain. I suspect that theres a problem with the wiring as a replacement camera I tried also failed when connected at that location.
I’ll take another shot at it today as I’d like to put this project to bed for a while (although the imminent arrival of a new multiplexer - replacing my multiplexer/switcher cludge - will require me to rewire a bit more in the new future).
I see that Murphy works north of the border too !!!
Murphy is everywhere….
Well, since he spends so much time looking over my shoulder, I didn’t think he had time to bother anyone else!
