    Removing an electrical cable on customers property... that doesn't belong to the customer!

    Zs-Ze = R1+R2 - doesn't it?!

    Hi all. The title is a slight red-herring to provoke a response.... Looking through previous threads here and elsewhere tells me that the formula in the title just isn't true - that you cannot just measure Zs at a socket outlet (live test) and subtract a measured Ze to get an R1+R2 value for...

    What routing techniques do CCTV installation professionals use that DIY doesn't generally?

    The more I think about doing a DIY CCTV installation, the more I'm coming to the conclusion that I'd be far better off getting it done professionally: they have years of experience, will consider routing cables impracticable by DIY enthusiasts, and will have the necessary expensive equipment to...
