That would require one of these safety guys actually watching tech-youtubers. And I'm pretty sure they've already had a heart attack watching some people playing around with uninsulated live wiring ;)
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.
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.
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.
Yes. I don't think the pressure monitor units send any data other than an identifying code and the pressure, so the warning is created by the receiver and should be configurable in software.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😂
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
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.
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
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 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.
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 :)
You say that, I don't think the amount of bandwidth a NASA telescope uses would ever warrant CAT8. Tom would have to be connecting up GCHQ's entire LAN in order to warrant some CAT8, so why CAT8 would EVER be warranted on CCTV is way beyond me.
☝🏻 Dimes to donuts this guy's only installation was his butt in the chair to be a keyboard cowboy! Says the guy with 20 years experience in security/cameras. I've done multi-million dollar jobs, where a single pedestal with two cameras on it doubled the value of my van. Only have ran fiber for Verizon and for networking. This guy is crazy!
Not fitted cctv before, any recommendations on best way to fit 2x cameras on to a stable block, there is fuse board in the stable so power for DVR & a monitor not a problem but the customer would like to view footage on a mobile. Only way I can think of connecting the DVR to the internet is using BT broadband extender plugs.
And far easier to do things like, a) access the cctv data from the office network, or b) Archive to the cloud automagically, because they're just MP4 files on a server. c) Less vendor lock-in, because all cameras are basically RTP video streams, so you're not tied to the (frequently shite) vendor cctv software.
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.
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.
But dumb. Any VW just requires you set the pressure then it stores those values, any lower than the tolerance and it alerts you. Same with all VW group vehicles.
Tom. I appreciate that cost maybe a factor here but why are you installing an analogue system with power ballans? Surely an IP PoE camera system would have made it more sensible. Glad you put in CAT6 cable though to help future proof things though.
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.
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
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.
MizunoIronMan Hikvision very popular, high quality, reliable and reasonably priced. They do both Analogue HD over coax and IP over Cat5e/6 systems. It all depends on application and needs.

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 :-)
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Hi there just wanting a bit of advice, I’m wanting to re train as an electrician and just wanting to know your advice on the best way go about it. I’m 32 so not sure if apprenticeship is an option for me. Any feedback would be much appreciated
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!
wasnt too bad. from memory it was an extra £150 so not horrendous. iv'e only done it on the one van so far, as the other one is having its racking fitted
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.
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.
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 :)
Hey Thomas, I’m a sparky from Australia and we don’t have ring circuits here. Just want to what the regulations are like concerning ring circuits, ie how many outlets can you have on one circuit and how you protect such a circuit. Cheers .jj
There's no hard limit- it's more down to the floor area served and the kind of user, eg a kitchen would usually have a dedicated ring as would each floor of a typical house. Each ring is protected by a 32A circuit breaker, and each plug top has a 3-13A fuse protecting the final appliance and flex.
Hi Tom how will your business be effected with the new Ultra Low Congestion Charge, will you avoid work within the zone or pass the charges on to customers, convert van to LPG ??
Some officious clown will now probably be writing a draft of the new requirement for waterproof sockets in kitchens.
I have fitted a waterproof socket under a sink at the request of a customer.
The sad truth is Clive...you are probably right...*sigh*

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.
For your Van: you/Renault/a workshop have to reprogram the TPM via the diagnostic interface and set the desired pressure for these wheels
Waterproof sockets same reason you need waterproof smoke alarm in the flat, for when the roof springs a leak! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
^^ the rant about waterproofsockets i found little joy in that :D

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

RJ45 Baluns... basically terminate a RJ45 plug and you plug and play at each end.... very easy and very neat and tidy 👍🏻
You can get versions which also have the power plug embedded too so it's all in the one part.
What racking are you going for? I’m getting Sortimo Racking for my new Van.

Hi mate, i thought you were going to upload a video of the EV charger install?
8:02 probably could program it through the OBD 2 port and do some sort of remap
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.
Wait cat9 and catX is real??
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.
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.

Remember you have can also get POC , power over coax cameras.
System was customer supplied
PoE and use blue iris as the nvr
If you'd bothered to watch the previous videos you'd have noted that the client supplied the system. Pay attention for fuck sake.
You should run siamese cable RG-59/2 conductor for power. Mainly use cat5/6 for IP cameras.
Are you sure about running those at 35psi ? seems really low for a commercial vehicle
So I'm from the U.S. and I have never understood why outlets it the U.K. were so big. Can you inform me on that?

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.
Then don't use the boxes. If you have a choice, always use the manufacturer boxes.
I hate having to use non std boxes
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 vids mate!
Hi there just wanting a bit of advice, I’m wanting to re train as an electrician and just wanting to know your advice on the best way go about it. I’m 32 so not sure if apprenticeship is an option for me. Any feedback would be much appreciated
What walkie talkies do u use
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
Needs a zone chart !!
Love the rant Thomas 😂 absolute plonkers commenting thinking they know electrics. Cracking job in the unit.
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!
How did the new wheels (mod of vehicle from std) affect your insurance. Was it more expensive ?
wasnt too bad. from memory it was an extra £150 so not horrendous.
iv'e only done it on the one van so far, as the other one is having its racking fitted
Just wondering what walkie talkies you use
Me too, hopefully going to need some very soon.
Thanks
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.
Thomas, would you know of an equivalent for a Eaton Cutler-Hammer CE15F series B1 15kW. Thanks.
Detailing Bay? Sounds like you might need to retrofit the sockets with waterproof ones! (running and ducking for cover) LOL
Love the rant Tom 🤣🤣
Nice one
Proper job dude. :)
Don’t come off the paths on a full moon mate ! Nice to hear your rant
What work jumpers / jackets do you use? What brand are they mate? Cheers.
Why not use ip cams? the poe is really neat no external power supply ect
Unifi Setup - POE is all thats needed and the Controller has its own hard drive. Cameras are cheap and incredible quality.
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.
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 :)
Do you fit HIK stuff
Hey Thomas, I’m a sparky from Australia and we don’t have ring circuits here. Just want to what the regulations are like concerning ring circuits, ie how many outlets can you have on one circuit and how you protect such a circuit. Cheers .jj
There's no hard limit- it's more down to the floor area served and the kind of user, eg a kitchen would usually have a dedicated ring as would each floor of a typical house. Each ring is protected by a 32A circuit breaker, and each plug top has a 3-13A fuse protecting the final appliance and flex.
Ring circuit aren't excluded from use as per AS/NZS 3000
Hi Tom how will your business be effected with the new Ultra Low Congestion Charge, will you avoid work within the zone or pass the charges on to customers, convert van to LPG ??
Jamie J but his van is Euro 6 compliant, he just needs to pay the CC and he is exempt from the ULEZ lol
Hi
Can I have the price of fire alarm system installation please.
Why you using a dvr use an nvr?? Just have to terminate a RJ45 plug and plug it in
Great job
