Just wondering if anyone knew of talivan locations around farnborough / guildford over the next few days or today?

It might be useful for testing if my garage door opener has a dual use.

Try a TV remote, that should set it off if its right up close.

If you have a Video camera you can see the thing going off if you aim it at the lens, comes up green on the screen.

Sorry don't understand that one.

But I'd like to test the door opener for long distance/real life use.

Cheers

Most video cameras can see infra red even down to 820 nm so whats invisible to the eye is not invisible to a video camera. I assume you wnat to test its working yes?

Yes, want to test its working. I know theres a guy we can pay £40 to but coordinating this isn't as easy as driving past a van!

Also I don't have video cam - got a digicam cam though (Stills)

PS - the mobile (police hair-dryer) on the A325 is in a temporary speed limit. IMHO the limit signs are non-compliant and the speed limit is not enforceable (YMMV) - Streaky
