    Natural Gas Generators

    I don't understand why you would have to do so much daily checking, especially the fuel line? I would run it at the maximum load for at least 8 hours (electric heaters make a nice load), check the frequency (60 hz +/- .5 hz) while it is running as well as the voltage. Shut it down then check...

    Natural Gas Generators

    The powercell already has a Solar Panel Charge Controller built in. An off the shelf less expensive transfer switch will connect the generator to your main service panel when the powercell fails to produce. When your incoming primary power from your power company fails, the powercell will kick...

    Natural Gas Generators

    Just thinking, if the output of the powerwall is fed into an automatic transfer switch as the primary and the generator is fed as the secondary before it goes into your main power panel , the generator should only come on when the powerwall fails to produce.

    Natural Gas Generators

    Make sure there is a gas Flexible Hose Connector between the hard gas line and the generator to avoid vibration to the hard gas line. Also don't forget the drip leg trap near the generator.

    Snow in Houston

    I think that is 50% of the total combined power from coal and natural gas which was 67.3%, that yields a loss of 34%. I think that is 25% of the total power from nuclear energy which was 5.1%, that yields a loss of 1.3%. I think that is 90% of the total power combined wind and solar which was...

    NVR of choice with POE for 16ch turrets and bullet cams??

    Do you know the maximum power consumption of each PTZ (60 watts each or higher with heaters) and are all the PTZ’s the same? You are going to exceed the incoming bandwidth of a single NVR with all those cameras. You may need multiple NVR’s.

    NVR of choice with POE for 16ch turrets and bullet cams??

    Do you plan on having any PTZ Cameras? How many cameras are you planning for your system ? Even with a UPS you still need surge protection especially on long cable runs. You can find new ones on Ebay most of the times. Let me know what your equipment plans are and I will help you find one...

    Natural Gas Generators

    My power was out for eight days and my liquid cool natural gas 20kw Winco generator did not break a sweat in 90-degree weather. I do not think an air-cooled generator would have survived. Air cooled engines are not made to run continuously. I purchased this generator off of Ebay with less than...

    NVR of choice with POE for 16ch turrets and bullet cams??

    I have had a few NVRs and switches with built in POE power, the first thing failed was the POE. Now I power my cameras with POE supplies by PowerDsine (24 ports, 60 watts/port). These are built like bricks. Another thing, don’t forget surge protectors on everything.

    Dahua NVR with switch

    I will try to answer questions 2 &3. I have some Sony SNC-VB635 cameras with 1/1.9" sensors/2mp, with 1/2" C mount lenses, they are great. It all depends on what you are looking to see, cameras are expensive as you know. A 1/1.8" sensor is better for seeing in a very low light area and even...

    Dahua NVR with switch

    Regardless of the camera brand you buy, buy the same brand of NVR. You only get the full functions of the camera if the camera and NVR are of the same brand.

    Dahua NVR with switch

    I will try to answer the first question. Yes. Run the long cat6 cable to a POE switch and plug the POE switch in an AC outlet. From the POE switch run the short cat6 cables outside. Cat5 or cat6 cables will work.

    1/2" CMOS low light cameras: Hikvision DS-2CD6026FHWD vs Sony SNC-VB635?

    Thanks. Please excuse any mistakes that I make, I am typing with one hand, a little nerve damage in my right hand. What video player are you using to view the exported AVI files from the camera to the pc? I have used several video player including window media player with no luck.

    1/2" CMOS low light cameras: Hikvision DS-2CD6026FHWD vs Sony SNC-VB635?

    Which one of the two cameras did you choose? Did you have a problem reading the Sony (if you chose that one) video AVI file on your computer?

    New & Frustrated

    All of my equipment is Truvision/Interlogix. The NVR's don't work well with other brand cameras. I have the TVW-3101, 02, and 30 cameras as well as other models. What are the video parameters (settings) of your camera? As you may know this company is out of business as of 12/31/2019.
