    Light shadowing in self serve bays

    We are in the middle of a large remodel and I wanted to verify where we wanted our new wall packs in our now (almost) 15' tall bays. I fabri-cobbled some temporary stands to hold up the fixtures and powered them up. Bays are 26' long outside dimension and 16' on center. I set the fixtures at 12'...

    They use LPR but does not rely on it to start wash. It's just for fraud reduction and is up to the the operator to deal with the alerts the system gives you.

    Sonnys Washscape

    I have a list similar to yours but it is pretty long. Since our drawings were not detailed enough we are designing as we go along which of course is expensive, time consuming and there are some compromises.

I'm trying to help the contractor and subs as much as possible with info from my experience, my equipment distributor and from you guys on here. The issues really started with the architect (actually on my third one which is really the...

    Dencar

    There are several different MEI recyclers. Dencar used to put the lower model in and now (not sure exactly the timeframe) they use the much larger more robust model. It is so large they had to redesign the pay station to get it to fit in.

    Anyone using Montavue Surveillance?

    From what I gather all cameras and NVRs are Chinese made by just a few manufacturers but there are many different quality levels. Also the pre packaged systems companies don't seem to want you to know what the make and model of them are.

    Anyone using Montavue Surveillance?

    Dedicated LPR camera and the more expensive NVRs have AI search that we are hopeful will save us time searching. (especially if the record only motion feature does not work) Blue Iris looks like only software to me. Am I missing something? Is this a spec it yourself concept? I'm not against that...

    Anyone using Montavue Surveillance?

    We are soon going to be a 24/7 friction wash and SS and we now have two separate buildings which complicates surveillance. A $1,500 Lorex system won't cut it. On the new building we are planning on 4 inspection cameras on the new auto entrance, 2 in the 65' long bay (might need more) and 4...

    Anyone using Montavue Surveillance?

    We have been going back and forth debating on purchasing a Lorex or a Backstreet system. They are not really apples to apples but there is also a large price difference. The Backstreet system we have spec'd out is about $13K and the Lorex at about $7K. We really like the Backstreet and does so...

    Mrs Ourtown reminded me that we can do this but I remember that it was a manual process. Is yours set up to charge automatically?

    Where are you and what are your prices?

    I have seen this many times and it baffles me that they don't notice the bay is running. Count up concept is so foreign to some people.

    Price Increase

    The only types of businesses I can think of that announce in advance of price increases are manufacturers.
