Thanks so much for your reply but I have to purchase new equipment that has to be installed and the problematic areas are not software issues. I need an on site integrator/installer Thanks again

Can someone suggest a reputable experienced C4 installer/dealer that can troubleshoot and upgrade my system. Thank you.

Thx, Looks like it could be $10K, a little rich for my blood. Wish I had the dough for that. 74 yrs old and going into semi retirement. Just want to spend those years with a system that works. It doesn’t have to be that great. Unfortunately those days are over.

If the system can work the way it is supposed to not looking for major overhaul, just looking to replace B-300. new sensors on burglar alarm 4 new surveillance cameras and new recorder, replace some TV emitters and most likely a couple of new replacement TV’s .

Sorry that’s way over my head. Not looking for a major overhaul. If the system can work the way it is supposed to just looking to replace B-300. new sensors on burglar alarm 4 new surveillance cameras and new recorder, replace some TV emitters and most likely a couple of new TV’s .

More than one bad tv. One is definitely wise than the others. Out of & TV’a 1 is unbearable, 1 is so so and 3 are borderline. The other 3 are inconsequential. I don’t know what a MOIP system means.

So all of the TV’s power is turned on and off with the C4 remote. They are all plugged into different AC receptacles. All of the receptacles were new when the house was renovated along with new AC wiring and power panels about 10 yrs ago which is when the C4 system was also installed. I know that the dirty power excuse that my dealer used was BS because some of the TV’s are consistently worse than other and a couple that are rarely ever used seem to be fine. Also nobody where I live has ever mentioned dirty power and there are some very upscale homes. We had no problems for 20 yrs. plus prior to the C4 being installed. I have been really loyal to my dealer which is probably a fault of mine at this point. Maybe I should contact another C4 dealer in Orange County Calif. since I also need to replace my surveillance system and should probably replace my B-300 Matrix per some of the other guys on this site.

Yes centralized. B-300 Matrix just the image blinking. when tv’s decide to act up then either tv power or video signal does not turn on or off, I believe a different problem than the blinking of the video. I would rather not put a video box at tv locations and continue to work off central control. That was one of the reasons to use control4. Besides each tv can receive 3 Satellites,2 Apple tv’s, - 1 Roku and 1 DVD player and giving that up would negate the purpose of the system.

Approximately what is the cost of a 500 series and is it about the same size as the 300. Hoping it can fit in the rack. Do you think that the 500 is what I should substitute it with. I assume the performance of the 500 should make a difference? Thx

Yes I’ve been told that they were far from desirable and I thought that could have something to do with the TV power and /or the video signal for not turning on or off with the remote but I can’t see how the B-300 could cause the video to blink on and off.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I have a Snap B-300 HDMatrix 8X8 that allows each TV station to run out of the same control closet with Balins and no other equipment at the TV.

After over 10 years of torture with nobody being able to explain my TV’s blinking on and off especially when different lights in the house are on or off and why quite often when TV’s don’t turn completely on or off (sometimes the tv signal / audio ceiling speakers turn on without the Tv turning on or vice versa).My original installer blaming it on dirty power. Nobody in my neighborhood has dirty power problems. It just dawned on me what the problem probably is: I think it is very likely when my house was pre wired they must have spliced some wires.’some people on this site in the past thought it could have been that the wires are non shielded. Could my theory of spliced wires be the causer the previously mentioned problems ?

Thanks for your reply. Video was great and the quality of the camera looks very good;

Will do.

theCodeman thanks for your explanation. It helps a layman such as myself better understand issues to complex topics that are totally foreign to me. I appreciate your explanation.

What is your time frame to install the system.Please let me know about the quality of the system and how it integrates with C4. One of the big box retailers in my area was offering That system at a killer price. I asked my installer about them and he said he I would not like the quality of their video or their physical quality. I have a feeling that he is just wanting to sell me super expensive equipment which I definitely don't want. I have some time before I need to purchase the cameras as the pre wire was recently finished and the speakers have not been roughed in yet. My contractor will be starting on the drywall by weeks end.
