Installing the Ultimate Security Smoke Cannon: Behind-the-Scenes Vlog
In today's vlog, I'm taking home security to the next level by installing an advanced smoke machine alarm system. This isn't your average alarm-this bad boy activates the second someone tries to break through a window, filling the property with thick, impenetrable smoke that forces any would-be burglars to run for the hills! 🚨🏃‍♂️💨
Join me as I show you through the process, sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between. You'll get an inside look at how this system works and why it's a game-changer for home security.
If you're looking for a unique way to protect your home, you won't want to miss this! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more vlogs and home security tips. 🔒
(Yes they do official brackets for the smoke cannon, client wanted us to use his bits of wood instead to save on cost. Yes I didn't show how to wire the expander or wiring the cannon itself, it is just so time consuming and trying to film it on an iphone is just too much. GoPro investment soon!)

I’ve set up the intercom system in the app and can access the live video feed. However, I’m not receiving any push notifications on my iPhone when someone rings the doorbell. The app is allowed to send me notifications in the iPhone settings, but I’m unable to activate the permission within the app itself. I keep getting the message "Unknown error (50047), operation failed." I hope you can help me. Thank you very much!

      I would setup intrusion detection on the NVR, and set detection method to human/vehicle. Make sure intrusion is enabled with the tick box, draw your zone, go to linkage action and make sure “notify surveillance centre” is ticked, this will send notifications to hikconnect. You can set the speaker and strobe lights on independent schedules. You’ll find this under basic event, go to light output settings and audible speaker output settings.

      Nice to hear! Do you know if it’s showing no video or no link? Just trying to establish if it’s an IP or analogue system. On ip systems it shows no link, on analogue shows no video. If it’s IP I’d make sure all cameras cables are plugged into the NVR correctly, I’d then go into the camera settings on the NVR and make sure they’re set to plug and play (unless the cameras have all been setup in static mode). Also make sure you’ve got flashing lights on the poe ports. If it’s an analogue system, I’d make sure the power cable is definitely plugged into the cameras and is operational.

    • @HikVisionGuru

      There’s only one way to find out I’m afraid, try it and see. We do see fire blocks or cavity capping at the top occasionally but not all too often, however that’s in the uk, as for the USA I’m not sure how common it is. Sometimes it can be useful to go up to roof tile height, remove a bottom tile and expose the cavity that way and you’ll have a much clearer view. From there you can feed your rods straight into the loft also.

    OK Mr guru im back and have some questions about a couple of problems im having So i linked up one camera to the nvr indoors and then added the app to my phone and got the whole thing working nicely with sound and 2 way audio once that was all working nicely i then bolted it all to the outside of the house and added a further 2 cameras to ports 2 and 3 all 3 cameras work on the nvr and are connected to my phone BUT the first camera i set up indoors works fine with audio of whats going on outside coming to my phone.........but the 2 cameras i added on ports 2 and 3 dont have any audio to the phone i can get 2 way audio on all 3 cameras but i cant hear whats going on outside on cameras 2 and 3 and funnily enough they also dont seem to want to put the spot light on full brightness either ive tried turning audio on at the nvr and desktop screen and ive also turned on the audio button on my phone but no joy would adding those 2 further cameras after getting the first one running be anything to do with it as it is those 2 further cameras that are playing up..??

      Under the recording parameters is the video type set to “video & audio” and not just “video”?

    When you clicked back into nvr web page and selected event and set the intrusion detection zone you then clicked on notification but why didnt you click on the light and audio links for that camera? I know you logged into that camera on the previous web page and selected the warning and flashing light but why didnt you tell it to flash and give audio warning in the nvr web browser page? Also i dont seem to be able to set the brightness or volume of the message. Every time i lower each one from 100 to say 50 and click save and go to another camera and then come back its set at a 100 again. What am i doing wrong?

      At the time of recording the video the firmware was different, and it was advisable to set the strobe speaker via the cameras own interface as opposed to the NVRs. Currently, it is now advisable to set it up via the NVR menus and not directly on the camera. When you change the volume, hit save, does it say “save succeeded”? If it does and you’ve still got the issue I would then go to the maintenance menu and reboot the camera, then go back to the volume screen and see if it’s applied. Also make sure all camera and NVR firmwares are on latest version

    • @leemccluskey3063
      @leemccluskey3063 Před 4 měsíci

      Yes it does say saved and then I try to change the next camera volume and save and then the next. When I revisit each camera they all still say 100%. I will try rebooting the cameras like you say. Thank you so much for your time. Its horrible sat here trying to work out what I am doing wrong searching through Google for an answer

    Thank you for another great video. Just a quick question off topic but i see you used an i series nvr but when you logged into it you didnt have any problems going to live view. When i go to live view on mine using microsoft edge i have to use an internet explorer plugin and then have to click on my first camera and then change it from main stream to sub stream and then click on start live view otherwise i get live view failed or i cant see the camera picture when trying to set up intrusion areas or lines under events. I thought Hikvision would of sorted this but i have just downloaded the latest firmware and its a lot better but i still need to use the internet explorer plug in. Have you found a way around this?

    • @HikVisionGuru
      @HikVisionGuru Před 4 měsíci

      Still using edge in internet explorer mode I’m afraid. Alternatively use hiks proper ivms4200 software. On the web interface configuration page, go to local, and tick “auto start live view”, I find this helps.

    Is cat5e 'good enough' (external? Ive been exclusively usihg cat6 but im now thinking im wasting money.

    • @HikVisionGuru
      @HikVisionGuru Před 4 měsíci

      Cat5e is plenty good enough for all poe cameras, but cat6 is future proofing long into the future. I’d potentially give customers the option and cost it extra for future proofed wiring, especially when rewiring in future isn’t feasible

      They are supplied with every brand new HikVision dvr/nvr. They are a 4pin to sata power cable. The blue cable is a standard sata data cable. We do sell them if you need any.

    Hi sorry. Me again. Hes saying you can only set up for human or motion on 4 cameras is this correct. Or is it because the 2 he is now saying he can't add to motion detection are the 2 non hearing cameras. He's saying he can't add the 2 non earing cant be added to motion detection even thought they worked before .

    • @HikVisionGuru
      @HikVisionGuru Před 4 měsíci

      Hi Debbie! You’d have to remind me of your dvr/nvrs model number. If it’s a basic dvr chances are it only supports 2 channels worth of detection at any given time as there isn’t enough processing resource.
