webfact Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 PM orders upkeep of surveillance cameras BANGKOK, 9 June 2017 (NNT) – The government has assured all agencies have sufficient budget for the maintenance of their surveillance cameras and has launched a survey of their working conditions to be completed this month in the interest of public safety. Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered that all state agencies that operate surveillance cameras report on the conditions of the units within this month and perform any needed maintenance or replacements so that they are ready for use when needed. Government officials have indicated that each agency has a sufficient budget for the maintenance of its cameras and other related equipment. The assertion came as a rebuttal to some media reports that agencies were requesting additional budget for the work. Gen Prayut’s order followed an expression of concern for the safety of citizens and their property. He said he will be prioritizing surveillance cameras as they are an effective deterrent against crimes and also allow for events to be studied or investigated. Footage from the cameras is also useful in the trial of criminals as they provide needed evidence. -- nnt 2017-06-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk if half the cameras installed are running 2 years after they were installed i would be surprised. the transformers seem to burn out very quickly probably due to the variable mains power supply. i got a shock off one of my cameras when i was changing the angle and measured 120v off the camera housing. how does that happen when the camera is being supplied by a 12v power pack?

The nice thing about Uncle is that he is always telling his minions to do their jobs, which they should all be doing in the first place. Maintenance of CCTV cameras is as important as maintenance of the submarine fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be checked monthly for routine maintenance but doubt if they ever are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish monger Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 He said he will be prioritizing surveillance cameras......So, that means what then.....? Some must work, a few can halfway work, some won't be wired, some won't have lenses, some only work in specific areas....? What...WHAT...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakeupplease Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Then buy some that are not cheap rip offs or copy's. The UK has the most in the world and they are used in successful in prosecutions. Oh I forgot you have to fill your pockets on kickbacks so QUALITY ones are not within the local budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must prefer lawlessness , protests, roadblocks and general mayhem The only reason these things occurred was because the police and army did not do their job. They allowed these breakdowns then instigated a coup for their own benefit. The violence, on the whole, was quite small given the circumstances. The Thai people are well behaved. Your exaggerations are insulting to the average Thai. Prayuth has done nothing for the country For you: Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Ben Franklin.

The 12v is derived from mains power so it appears but conclusive that you have a short between primary and secondary not necessarily in the transformer but could be due to a lack of earth in the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power supply or power adaptor is probable leaky because of bad design or poor quality. This leakage can allow the primary voltage (120 volts) to connect to the secondary (normally 12 volts). The 120 volt leakage could be small, giving a tingle to someone connecting the device through them, to an earth. Or if its a large current and over 30 milliamps, kill you. The earth does not have to be a physical earth, a persons body can provide enough capacitance to allow more than 30 milliamps to flow. This appears to be the case when a faulty (leaky) adaptor is connected to a mobile phone and kills the person holding the phone. The main reason all metal appliances should be earthed and using 3 pins to connect the devices. Adaptors that are usually encased in plastic and should have the primary and secondary insulated from each other, twice for safety. But we know many manufacturers take shortcuts, and to them, price is more important than product reliability and safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats56 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Man that could be a good business to startup. Get a contract and repair CCTV cameras. Never out of work. Check them out ..clean the lenses....replace broken units. Never ending job etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
