I occasionally organise one-off events such as outdoor sound journeys & gong baths in magical woodland locations, peaceful parks or on beautiful beaches. Sometimes under the stars with a fire. Any upcoming events like this will be listed HERE (Eventbrite). So be sure to check regularly.   I also occasionally organise all-night puja events. Guests are invited to bring comfy bedding and everything they need to spend a whole night sleeping to the subtle healing frequencies of gongs and other powerful healing instruments that continue throughout the whole night. These events will begin with a welcome ceremony, followed by a beautiful meditation session. After this, we all lay down, get comfortable, relax and slowly fall into a beautiful deep sleep. In the morning we gently awaken feeling refreshed, revitalised and re-energised. Any upcoming events like this will be listed here. So be sure to check regularly.

1. Assessment and Planning: * Survey the area where you want to install CCTV cameras. Identify key areas that need surveillance such as entry points, blind spots, and valuable assets. * Determine the number of cameras needed and their types (e.g., dome, bullet, PTZ) based on the coverage required and environmental conditions. * Plan the placement of cameras considering factors like lighting conditions, obstructions, and the angle of view required. 2. Selecting Equipment: * Choose high-quality CCTV cameras and other necessary equipment such as DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) or NVRs (Network Video Recorders), cables, connectors, power supplies, and storage devices. * Ensure compatibility between cameras and recording devices. Consider features like resolution, night vision capability, and weather resistance. 3. Mounting Cameras: * Install cameras at the planned locations using appropriate mounting brackets or housings. * Ensure cameras are securely fixed to prevent tampering or theft. * Adjust the angle and direction of each camera to cover the desired area effectively. 4. Running Cables: * Plan the route for cables connecting cameras to the recording device. * Use weatherproof cables suitable for outdoor installation. * Conceal cables where possible to prevent tampering and maintain aesthetics. 5. Connecting Components: * Connect cameras to the DVR/NVR using appropriate cables and connectors. * Ensure proper power supply to cameras and recording devices. * Configure network settings if using an IP-based CCTV system for remote viewing. 6. Configuring Settings: * Access the DVR/NVR interface and configure settings such as recording schedule, motion detection, and video quality. * Set up user accounts and passwords to restrict access to the system. * Test the system to ensure cameras are capturing footage and recording properly. 7. Remote Viewing (Optional): * Set up remote viewing capabilities to access live or recorded footage from smartphones, tablets, or computers. * Configure port forwarding on your router if accessing the system from outside the local network. * Install and configure the necessary software or mobile apps provided by the CCTV system manufacturer. 8. Testing and Maintenance: * Test the system thoroughly to ensure all cameras are functioning correctly and recording as expected. * Regularly check and clean cameras to maintain optimal performance. * Update firmware and software periodically to patch security vulnerabilities and access new features.
