Some officious clown will now probably be writing a draft of the new requirement for waterproof sockets in kitchens.

Thanks for all the hard work Thomas!

I've seen inverted tray a few times. Much easier and faster to install that way than with unistrut on the back. I can't see an issue with it since it serves the purpose of providing a versatile surface for securing multiple cables along walls. I'd tend to go a size up just to allow for future cabling.

Waterproof sockets same reason you need waterproof smoke alarm in the flat, for when the roof springs a leak! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

For your Van: you/Renault/a workshop have to reprogram the TPM via the diagnostic interface and set the desired pressure for these wheels

As a mechanic in the US, I don't know about Renault specifically, as they're not sold here, but many tire pressure monitoring systems won't accept drastic changes in parameters through the reset button. Try this: inflate the tires to whatever the originals used. You won't hurt anything by doing this for a short period of time. Just avoid potholes. Reset the system. Drive the van until the light clears. Then reduce it by 5 PSI, and reset again/ drive again. Do this until you get to the target pressure, or until the system won't accept the new pressure as correct. If this doesn't work, you will need to go back to Renault. If 18" wheels were an available option on that van, it won't be difficult to change the settings in the van's computer (the sensors themselves merely report the pressure to the computer, there's generally no adjustments to be done on them) If 18" wheels weren't an option, they should still be able to change it, but it might be a bit more difficult. Also, if Renault has to do the change, make sure that if software updates need to be done on the van in the future that you tell the dealer about whatever change needed to be done, so they can do that after the update. On many vehicles, software updates reset all parameters that normally can't be changed by the driver to whatever the vehicle came with. Also, there's more to tire pressure monitoring systems than just the sensors. They also monitor the waveform that is put out by the wheel speed sensors as a failsafe in case one of the sensors is misreading a tire. A change in wheel size will throw that off, but resetting the system should have corrected that. Still, it's something to keep in mind. The earliest TPMS systems (yes, that's redundant like ATM machine, I know) actually didn't have sensors, they just used that waveform. In fact, some low-end cars still do.

PoE CCTV is the neatest way. I used to fit wireless, no more.. 😉 Everyone's a keyboard warrior expert lol.. Great rant Tom.

RJ45 Baluns... basically terminate a RJ45 plug and you plug and play at each end.... very easy and very neat and tidy 👍🏻

This video is even more funny than it is informative. Love it and subbed immediatly!!

I loved that little rant.

Yes Tom you have to get a shop with a scan tool to adjust the tire threshold for all rims , that is when the light is set to go on for low pressure . Need to adjust it higher

^^ the rant about waterproofsockets i found little joy in that :D

I’m not electrician I like watching your videos very educational

Watched the video on app on the way in to South Bank for remedials, finished watching, looked up and a certain black Renault traffic is in front of me in all its ebony epic glory. Howdy! My mate wouldn't drive to keep up though. There goes my selfie, shot to shit. 😂

If the van has a winter tyre mode in the settings put it in that mode, might solve the problem temporarily. More than likely Renault may have to run an update or reflash the ecu to set the system up to run lower pressures on the tyres.

Tom you’ve made my morning! On way to sit the 18th and you post a vid

Just put a bit of electrical tape over the tyre pressure display!

Thanks

Look forward to seen the van all decked out!!

Still laughing at Cat8, wtf you putting on the end of it Nasa telescope!

And we use 2 pairs for power Orange and Brown twisted + then orange white brown white twisted - then blue and blue white used for signal leaving green and green white for alarm inputs

6:55 conflicting direction arrows on exit signs. The up arrow on the emergency luminaire is correct. Great vids Tom.

I love to hear you ranting especially to BS 7671 keyboard warriors. Nice wheels man :)

Good Video Mr Nagy, loved the rant :) Regarding the CCTV I've installed two lots of CCTV systems for friends and a larger system for myself. After countless hunting/reading about CCTV I found that Hikvision was the best... Hikvision is for large companies etc and more robust products where as HiWatch is more their general public lines... The Hiwatch NVR-104-A/4P is a 4 port NVR with built in POE with room inside for a full size (Western Digital Purple drive (recommended)) hard drive. also a port for connecting to network/router for external access or internal access via pc or mac. I cant fault it, sends POE to camera's aswell down the single cat cable, Has apps available for Windows/mac and Iphone/android... Hope this helps, just thought id share from experience.

Hikvision do power over coax cameras. Don’t know how it works but quality !

CCTV CAT cable terminations - I feel your pain. Trying to make them look neat and fault free is a nightmare. Try doing that on a 16 ch box! Even with Shotgun you have messy power connections. IP with integrated PoE is a lot neater and easier. CAT6 is logical, CAT 8 I'd use in a data centre :D I also follow the BT wiring code to keep things simple on CCTV CAT run installs so each install I do is always wired the same :)

9:05 IP-CCTV. 8p8c plug either end of the cable, job done!

Oooooo an S2K at 3.06 😍

Good content Tom. I'm about to fit first security cam system for a friend and instructions and tips are always welcome.

Re: waterproof sockets, maybe people are thinking they might use pressure washers inside? Can't see any other reason.

Nice one

The video baluns are 1:1.15 transformers. One side sees the 75 ohm output impedance of the camera or 75 ohm input impedance of the recorder, and through the 1:1.15 transformer that looks like 100 ohm impedance. When you connect that to a single (100 ohm characteristic impedance) pair, you don't get reflections on the line (since the recorder appears as the same impedance through the balun). If you use one conductor from each pair, or other such silliness, no only do you get reflections, you also radiate RF and become susceptible to RF.

For everybody that suggested that Tom should have used an IP CCTV system, the customer had bought a Swann (😏) analogue HD kit themselves and asked Tom to fit it. Analogy HD is still a cheaper option over IP but prices are slowly coming down. As a pro, I definitely wouldn’t choose Swann as it’s a DIY consumer option. Plenty of negative forum comments out there about it.

How often do you work on fire alarms? I find the systems that run those really fascinating and think it would be awesome if you did a video on one when/if a job calls for it.

one thing that will help you is going for NVR's instead of DVR's. A single CAT6 will go to each camera that carries power and data over 1 cable

For Renaults, the dealer needs to use the Can-Clip system to reset the thresholds needed for the TPMS. It needs to be done correctly due to the NCAP rating of the van. If you had a crash now for instance, and the investigators found that the TPMS system had noted incorrect pressure, they might push the blame of the accident onto you. Depending on the circumstances of the crash that is.

Using Category Cable with those types of Video Baluns I typically use the Green pair for Video and the Blue and Brown Pairs for Power. Blue Positive and Brown Negative.

I don't know Jack shit about electrics but it's great to see a nice down to earth person who sez how it is I fucking love it great work nice to see

If you're running one cable to each camera you'll be fine with two pairs for power and one pair for video. If its a long distance I would triple up the pairs for power and then use one pair for video. I have seen people use two cores for video, sometimes it OK sometimes its not. One pair is the industry standard. You could also try putting a joint box somewhere so the PSU is't near the DVR, then running one cat5/6 to the DVR with all four video signals on it. Keep up the good work Tom.

10:00 in. Ethernet cable runs as 4 pairs of wires. The pairs of wires are twisted to reduce/cancel out electrical interference for the ^other^ wire. When installing cat 5 /cat 6 (or even cat 8!) it’s important to retain the twists on the cable pair as close to the end of the cable as possible. Cat 6 and Cat 5 also have slightly different RJ45 jacks for similar reasons.

i am not a sparky but the one thing i like and i am 11 minutes and 20 seconds into this vid and the one thing i love his like tom said on his last video Kat 6 is more future proof if they want to add something like 5 years down the road like i don't know a sound system or tv's what ever at least they have that option now and love the videos tom keep it up and who is the next new worker that will be with u

Just applied for an apprenticeship with Tata steel but also applied for electrical installation and maintenance in college as a back up

Unifi Setup - POE is all thats needed and the Controller has its own hard drive. Cameras are cheap and incredible quality.

Great job

The waterproof socket rant😂😂😂😂

Enjoyed the rants - justified!!!

UTP cable has to be the same pins as POE if you use the wrong pins it causes an issue with video the reason is how the power signal travels down the twists in the cable so always use the POE pair for adding power

Some people just try to be clever, why have waterproof sockets? What about the consumer unit then? Like you say, more chance of sockets getting wet in a kitchen. Nice neat job.

Personally Tom. I would use a PoE NVR instead. Alot neater and less hassle with adaptors ect.

Either use IP cameras or the rj45 to balun, Yes you are correct only use 1 pair for the video, so use the blue and brown pair for power and then the orange pair split for the video leaving the green spare

Don’t come off the paths on a full moon mate ! Nice to hear your rant

Fair answers to points raised (touchy touchy). Only reason for Masterseal would be if the high pressure jet washers were used indoors, if not fair play.

Love the rant Thomas 😂 absolute plonkers commenting thinking they know electrics. Cracking job in the unit.

Needs a zone chart !!

Love the bit at 5 mins 23 lol 😂 😂 good point tho 👍

8:02 probably could program it through the OBD 2 port and do some sort of remap

Love the vids mate!

i love it when you go on a rant tom cracks me up every time reminds me of myself when stupid people ask me stupid fucking questions its like what fucking planet are you on mate ?!

To adjust the TPMS pressure you need to find a mechanic who has the right automobile diagnostic computer, or ask a dealership. Or fork out money for your own

Love the rant Tom 🤣🤣

You should run siamese cable RG-59/2 conductor for power. Mainly use cat5/6 for IP cameras.

For tyre pressure you maybe can buy a cheap OBD scanner and clear the fault or take it to a garage to get them to change it

I'm realy sorry to say, but i love your rage mode👍

Fike is good alarm to work on once you install it your self you understand it better

Another brilliant video. You need to be fitting Cat10

riding on the bus to work watching this in the app with headphones on - 4:32 - had a small but noticeable giggle on the bus. 5:22 - a large giggle noticed by several people standing up

Standard rj45 plug and a balun that plugs into it and splits power and picture neatly

Good bro

The weather proof ones tend to be used in factories in Australia as they also tend to be more robust than domestic outlets. Cat8 for a device that's running at best 75mpbs? I'd run the Cat X cable to a patch panel and use patch leads to the relevant balun. It'll look better that way too.

I've always had messy wires and baluns behind dvrs. So I used large ip boxes to enclose all the mess inside and all you see are the balun pigtails coming out of box into the dvr. Neatest way I found.

Spotted your old van up the road from me, still all liveried up with your name and numbers etc.!

Proper job dude. :)

Go on Tom, let 'em have it!! Lol. Dont let a keyboard warrior get to you though! The closest theyve probably come to electrics is putting batteries in a remote control! Keep up the good work mate!

If you are going to use video baluns, use ones that have an RJ45 jack, and a power connector on them, so you just terminate the cat6 cable with a connector, and plug it in at each end. I have over 20 years in the security industry, and I use video baluns on a regular basis, all the way up to 8mp (4k) with no issues.

Tom, I cannot comment for Renault regarding their TPMS system but I do have a good insite into Ford ones. I am guessing Renault will be similar and hopefully a similar Renault Nerd will be reading also......The TPMS sensor on each wheel will send data periodically (on 433mhz) when prompted (by a LF signal on 125khz) that includes items such as pressure, serial number, temperature and of course a check sum. The serial number ensures that the vehicle knows what wheel is where. The body processor will receive these signals and process them accordingly. Checking them against pre programmed limits and activating warnings as required. On the Ford modules we have what is referred to as a "Placard Pressure". This is configurable and it is the level at which a low pressure warning will be issued. Hopefully a good Renault Tec will be able to assist you in setting yours to a more suitable value. (Winter tyre setting?)There are other methods of detecting tyre pressures such as Deflation Detection Systems. With these the ABS system looks at the relative rotational speed of the wheels and works out that a deflated tyre will appear to be turning more quickly and flag a fault.Good luck with your quest... As we live in a nanny state It is now a legal requirement for vehicle manufacturers to install a system to detect under inflated tyres because it has an impact on vehicle emissions etc.... oh and stability and tyre wear :)

Yes, there are baluns that take RJ45 connectors at both ends, more reliable as the singles cores won't break, but they are big hard to fit on some wiska boxes. About the single core cable for the video, yes if you use 2 core for +&- it will give you distortion.

TPMS sensors have to be adjusted by a diagnostic machine, plus they are also coded and have to be reset whenever the sensor is removed/swapped/ wheel changed position.

Anyone suggesting any cable beyond Cat 6 is obviously not qualified to be making such suggestions. Cat 7 is currently the highest rated cable standard recognized internationally (which is overkill for anything other then office network backbone runs between servers where interference could be an issue) Cat 8 doesn't officially exist yet beyond testing stages.

was that what i think it was? Dave?

You can get the pressure sensors in the vehicle programed at most tyre places or buy yourself a can bus reader/programer not the real cheap ones as they only give you codes but for around £50 you should get one on Amazon that will do the trick.

With CCTV the "better way" is to get an NVR and use a network switch. DVRs and coax is fine, but you can't get around having to leave a mess at each end bodging baluns on. It always looks shit unless you use junction boxes at each end, and even then you lose quality over a longer run of cable. IP/Network cameras are always better - loseless image and only one RJ45 at each end is needed :)

👍 Put 4 wheels in the back with 60psi and the sensors(do they run on battery's?), then put your 35psi wheels on the corners , (did you get them off an ambulance?seems a bit soft ) find a friendly type shop drill 3 holes in a rim ,put all 4 the sensors in that wheel,save yourself a bunch of space.. Plan b ,put a square of black insulation tape over the light. For extra safety use black stainless steel insulation tape. Plan c put bricks in the van untill the light goes out. Good work looks neat .looking forward to the van racking vid.

you could have taken it to any good garage who has a computer which goes into the OBD port of your van. as my local garage has done my TPMS reprogramming when it went wrong. ALSO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TOM :-)

Nice video Tom, keep up the good work and keep up with the ranting!👍

Tom, dont bother with baluns & compostite video. POE network cameras. You've got Cat6 in there you might as well.

i couldnt 100% see when doing your cat6 ends into the baluns, but just a h eads up when doing any network stuff keep the twists in the cores as they were before taking the sheaf off.

It must have been an aussie who put the original tray up. It is always fitted that way in Australia. Better way when you think about it.

Hi mate, i thought you were going to upload a video of the EV charger install?

Love this channel 😂

You should use cat 9 for cctv! I always use them and happy with the results!

Just notice the "running man" above the door with the arrow pointing up at the start of the vid. Serveral years ago we had a heated discusion on site as to arrow pointing up or down. General consensus was down pointing to the door to which I was in agreement this made common scense.

The client supplied the camera system, right? That also defeats the 'Get IP camera's you fool!' comments :D I'm all in for IP camera's, it's all I fit but that's in big commercial places with multiple security lodges etc. Would be a complete nightmare to run cables from camera to lodge, huge runs. Running to the nearest network room is easier. Anyway. In the Netherlands we use Natobaan in cases like this, which is pretty much.. Inverted tray like you have fitted here. Looks neat and this way you can get the zip-ties through to bundle the cables. Speaking of zip-ties, has anybody been pissing and moaning about using zip-ties to bundle cat6 cables, and that velcro is the only way? Yeah I agree, how if you don't kill them zip ties you're fine. Sometimes I can't get around it either. With bigger bundles I put 2 zip-ties in an X-pattern over a strip of velcro and everybody loves it :P

Love the rants 😂😂

Use ShotGun cable for the cctv systems, you will have power and video on one cable, its much neater and easy

Good vid like the rant 👍

cool stuff!

Was that Dave on the CCTV moving it at 10.31 looks like him

The way your wiring up the cams is fine it’s just the cheap way of doing it. You would normal being the cables in to a wall mount power supply/cabinet in which you have a single passive balun rack which your cat5/6 cables cables goes in and you make or buy BNC fly leads from that to your DVR.

Love the vid bro

Have you ever looked into getting a veto tool bag or do you think it’s a waste of money?
