Hey guys, didn't know where else to post this.

Anyone here familiar with systems that can be installed for homes that have say 4 wireless cameras connected to something that shows them all onto a monitor and can record them all onto a hard drive?

Any suggestions on products or where i can buy good quality products?

Or if you are an expert and have experience installing them i would like to hear from you as well! (Will be getting something for my house very soon).

Cheers!

I bought a couple of the basic wireless Swann units. They're very consumer focused (ie. simple to install and operate). They'd be no good for what you're after though. You can view them from your IOS or Android phone easily using the App. The sucky side is that there is no method to record anything to harddrive and they're pretty much trying to sell you a monthly recurring fee to use their 'cloud-based' motion recording system. You get a free trial for 30 days and as much as it works well - I hate lock-in recurring fees.

Ive installed cctv wireless systems jnto workshops and homes, id definitely say go wired, more reliable, no wireless issues but is more expensive to install...

Basically the more the you pay the better you get. Wired is the way to go, if you look at the high end systems they are all hard wired, in saying that though i have clients with wireless with access from iphone and it works ok...

Also look at the lens on the cameras as some have a wider view than others, so if the camera is mounted like 6m away from target youll need a view to be able to make it cover the most area

try using D-Link products, simple as bat shit to set up and buy like a Synology NAS to do all the recording...

alternatively you could build a PC specifically for recording all the wireless D-Link cameras, just pop in RAID1 with 2x 3TB NAS HDDs and a high effciency PSU and off you go.

I'm currently using a D-Link wireless 932L camera, works a treat.. automatic day/night with sound. I can remote into it from my phone and see/listen to what's going on and my Synology DS-212 NAS records everything

Thanks for the tips mate, definately keen to get wired installed, but in a 2 storey house i hear its going to be uber expensive.

I have thought about that, i have a server running freenas but i need external cameras and if they need power + ethernet, its pretty much the same thing to get installed lol.

Thanks guys, still looking but :D

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
