Hey guys sorry for the crazy upload schedule today I spent all day trying to work on getting a video to upload and not be choppy after trying close to 20 times of uploading and re-editing uploading some different devices I can’t figure out the issue so I had to post this video instead it was not the one I wanted but hopefully it’s better than nothing.
Here are a list of ways on what causes choppy video playback, how to fix it, and how to avoid it The main causes of choppy video playback are: 1. The files were downloaded or imported incorrectly 2. Your system doesn’t support the format of the video 3. Your software needs updating 4. You need a different video player 5. Your video is in a nonstandard format 6. Your files are corrupted 7. You haven’t cleaned out your browser cache in a while 8. The files are too large How to fix choppy video playback 1. Re-import Your Videos 2. Check Your System Specifications 3. Update Your Software 4. Opt for Another Video Player 5. Convert the Videos 6. Repair the Files 7. Clear Your Cache 8. Reduce Video Size and Resolution How to avoid choppy video playback 1. Keep your devices up to date 2. Use common file formats or import them via a converter 3. Always make a backup copy of your video files. 4. Clean out your browser cache regularly. 5. Opt for more common video files 6. Keep a converter on hand
I wish we had bells for fire alarms at my elementary school. They had Gentex Commander 3s that were very loud and they scared the shit out of me. The first fire drill I was in I was unaware that it was gonna happen and it traumatized me. I was scared of fire alarms until I was 15.
they have bells and new alarms. They look and sound like the WTC alarms. The bells are in the basement and the other ones in the main floor. Mostly bells because the basement has most of the places
3:23 My elementary school had 2 bells within 20 feet of each other near the main office (put there because of fire doors I think), and you could literally feel them in the office. Perhaps they installed lots so deaf students could literally feel the fire alarm. Just a thought
Quick tip: at 1:09 I see you put the magnet against the part that just out by the LED. Instead of their put your magnet right beside it against the plastic and the roof. That sets it off instantaneously instead of a few seconds.
I've got a question, how come (at least from what I've seen in your videos) most schools in Canada have bells rather than a horn strobe? Im kind of confused because in America, most of the schools have horn strobes and sometimes bells.
When I was in School we had single stroke bells at my first elementary school and middle school vibratone horns at my 2nd elementary school and after renovation my high school had est integrity horn strobes
Fire alarm cables have been an delay with all the fire alarms and thats why the fire alarm panel with all cables does make an 1 too 3 second is a delay
In the United States of America The majority of schools use horn strobes for the fire alarm and EST Edwards singling technology integrity horn strobes are installed inside a lot of the schools in the United States including mine. But up in Canada you guys use bells for fire alarms here in the United States of America we use horn strobes for our fire alarms in the majority of schools.
Not a big fan of edwards appliances except for the a/v stuff. Est just isn’t very well made or thought out, like the 270spo. The tamper proof screw on some models combined with a protection/deterrent cover can be a pain in the rear to reset or test. I know that from experience.
The strobe will still flash downward but wheelove fire alarms says wall mount integritys mounted on the ceiling is a fail because the fire lettering is facing in the other way and if people can have a hard time reading it like other people hade hard time speaking English
@@nics-systems-electric Ah. you would think that even some of the older schools with atriums would have the exhaust/pressuerization fans because if you have sprinklers you might aswell have that too to draw smoke out of the building
I'll tell you what kind of smoke detectors those are - they're the kind you better make sure you vent all of your test smoke out of so they don't trip again three hours later LOL...happened to me too many times. Those things are brutal - very smart to use the magnet to test. Great video!
Exactly! Est has a reputation for false alarms and over sensitive/faulty appliances. My middle school i used to go to has a newer est 3 system that just loves to trip on a monthly bases when the janitors clean their equipment. The genesis is prob the only thing they actually got right. Oh and another tip: NEVER EVER combine a 270spo with a sti stopper cover, it will be a pain in ur ass to test and reset.
@@nics-systems-electric I'm in the US and now days bells are very rare. It's mostly horn strobes or speaker strobes and strobes are pretty much required in public buildings
@@nics-systems-electric my middle school initially had 1956 single stroke bells with coded pull stations and about 20 years ago they upgraded to the est genesis speaker strobes. And my high school I heard had single stroke Bells from 1949 but after renovation they installed the est integrity horn strobes with strobes in each classroom
Wow a multi-story school from the early 90s without sprinklers? Nuts. They've been mandatory in all Michigan schools since 1984 and many from the 70s even have them. The bells are interesting too, I'm guessing this is Canada?
I think they only started to become rerqired in the late 90's here which seems way to late as it likely would have saved some of our other schools that had other had significant fire damage or completely burnt down
@@nics-systems-electric Yeah, they saved my high school in 2002 (built in 1981). I agree that this elementary school is in great shape for its age, I think I saw either 1993 or 1995 as the drawing date on an evacuation diagram near a pull station. It seems to be remarkably original too, all of the colors even look original. There were so many '90s schools built in Michigan and they all smell the same. I spent a couple of summers inspecting, 2001-2002, it was fun. Came very close to setting off a pre-action deluge system in a gym in a 1-year-old middle school that had "A" and "B" smokes right next to each other you had to do all of the As and then Bs, if an A and B were both set off within X minutes it would go right into deluge with open heads. The installers didn't mark them A or B and we hadn't come across that before. It triggered but fortunately our panel jockey was attentive and quick with the abort. We were required to test with canned smoke so we had to get creative with the high ones sometimes if we didn't have a lift (and those were ALWAYS the ones that went bad). One old timer used to light a cigarette and blow into a long pipe.
I don’t really know how to explain I guess it kind of started when four or five years ago and EA that was doing labouring in the summer for the school district that knew I liked fire alarm systems took me to one of the schools for testing and then I got to know the electricians and the following years they were able to get permission from management and now that I’m in high school they let me do it during school and give me credits for it
@@thatcanadianrailfan Not the school more just get to know the electrical staff that you would actually be working with I really don’t know how it works as I am in a pretty rare situation no one else has ever done in my school district
@@nics-systems-electric ok so first i should ask my school for permission, and if yes the day that we do the testing i talk with the electrical staff and get to know them
@@nics-systems-electric but still can the gongs on a MB 10-24 be swaped with a 439D you forgot the mention that there are 2 types of bells 439D and MB 10-24
The recall only qualifies for heats with a certain date code on them. After 2004 they are recalled models. I don’t know how code is in Canada. But fixed temperature heat detectors have to be replaced every 15 years. You can’t replace every device that is recalled. Only if it fails.
They were trying to win the No-Bell Prize. Sorry, I remembered that old school joke from a jokebook I had as a kid and that suddenly reminded me of it. Enjoy the laugh!
