QUOTE(scouser7 @ Sep 29 2015, 08:34 PM) Great info!! Looking at installing CCTV and home alarm as well. Mind sharing what you installed and cost? And how do you rate your installer? Can PM me his number? Thanks in advance Happy that you find this useful. I try not specifically recommend any specific brand or supplier in this thread. I expect to be upload the instalattion pictures later, you can take a best guess on which people I chose from the clues there. As for the cost, generally from what I gathered Instalattion/workmanship its around MYR 170- 400 per camera. Hardware cost diffrent brand have diffrent prices. Good Luck

QUOTE(reanimation_84 @ Oct 8 2015, 11:40 PM) @phoenix69 Awesome renovation journey. Going through some renovations myself. Super useful info you have here. Thanks for sharing. Just wondering when you removed the parquet to install the laminated flooring, did you have to level the concrete floor? Or did you just installed the laminated flooring? Yes, You have to level the floor. The floor level guy must be a sifu to acheive a good level floori. Good Luck on this, My advise is better use a good Sifu if you can find one, skilled guys are rare. And also regarding the laminated flooring, Get the expensive grade. A few $$$ more will be worth it as the floor is a non replaceble item especially when tou build a built-in wardrobe over it. (You cant very well change the fllor after that without diamantling the wardrobe.)

QUOTE(apache_utara @ Oct 17 2015, 11:14 PM) Been reading from Post #1, I have to admit, for first time owners or newbies in renovation thingy, definitely an eye opener to the process (& hidden costs too  ) Kudos TS, you have my deepest respect. Hoping to see the CCTV process too. This thread deserved to be pinned though  TQ for the compliment.

Renovation Extreme Work In Progress - Third / Fourth, lost track liao stage (always more $$$$ stage) Installing Home CCTV - Part 1 As mentioned in my earlier post, I went for the Analogue Camera System (HD 720p ) - reason stated also in earlier post. The HardwareCameraThe Dome Type - usually for indoor The Bullet type - usually for outdoor Video Recorder + HardDisk Memory Storage Multiple Port power Supply
Installation Process (as I understand it)Determining and setting up the "Command Center" (Where the Video Recorder installed with HardDisk Memory Storage + Multiple Port Supply is set) In my case the 1st floor (Those who follow this topic closely will know exactly where this is) Drilling a hole between the Command Center and Ground Floor for the wires.  Its all the way through between the floors but hidden from view as it is above the ground floor plaster ceiling.   The Completed " Command Center" This post has been edited by phoenix69: Dec 8 2015, 12:43 PM

Renovation Extreme Work In Progress - Third / Fourth, lost track liao stage (always more $$$$ stage) Installing Home CCTV - Part 3 Installing the Camera UnitA hole for the cables  Setting the camera base  Fitting and connecting the camera  As it can be seen , it takes a LOT of effort to set the cables and wires if they are to be concealed from sight (Drilling between Floors and Drilling through concrete frames) That it, CCTV Installed The rest is just software setting linking to your 1. Display 2. Computer (online Viewing) 3. Mobile Phone (with data plan) This post has been edited by phoenix69: Dec 8 2015, 12:59 PM

QUOTE(t3n @ Dec 8 2015, 05:08 PM) Bro, I thought u believe in Feng Sui but I saw your bedroom, you install the L-Box plaster ceiling directly on top of your bed (head).. I thought its recommended not to have any beam or any things on top of your head while sleeping hehe.. Ahem  the L Box is above the Bedframe headrest, Not above my face when ZZZZzzzz, so should be ok  , but kudos to you for catching that detail ... good one This post has been edited by phoenix69: Dec 9 2015, 08:49 AM

Renovation Extreme Work In Progress - lebih tambah stage (aiso more $$$$ stage) Was high time to get more wardrobe space as we were amassing more "clutter" There was always a wardrobe that I wanted to incorporate, but after the initial renovation habis $$$$ The "Narnia" door was there , so it was time to "conceal it" Adding built in wardrobe (Narnia Model)The wardrobe parts - Plywood type of course  Getting the balance-This room is very un 90 degrees, luckily the installer is very good at "compensating" . Building In the wardrobe- Lots of adjustment to compensate for the un 90 degree wall and floor angle - Their skills is evident during instalattion  Completed- With hidden "Narnia" Door
