Thailand Movie Shutter
Tarja Rabito
I understand that this is the DIY forum and I am asking about makers and installers, but if anyone has any suggestions as to who to contact (email, phone number, or webpage) I would be extremely grateful for the advice.
What sort of roller shutter do you want, post some sample photos. Generally "roller shutter" conjures up images of metal security shutters like are found on shop houses, I'm sure you don't want those.
I have sliding glass doors leading off of two bedrooms to a deck and I have two sets of standard "shop house" roll up security doors since the deck is not visible from the street. Every where else I have the custom wrought iron window bars
It is imperative that whatever solution you choose can be opened rapidly from the inside even if there is no power. The last thing you want is your security system trapping your family inside in the event of a fire. It has happened too often already and will happen again.
The advantage of window bars is they are cheap and easy to find. The disadvantages are numerous. The fasteners are so weak they can be popped off quickly, easily, and almost silently with a pry bar. They can block escapes as Crossy says. They give somewhat of a prison feeling to a house, though ornate ones can greatly soften this effect. They are incompatible with windows opening outward like awning and casements. However, there are higher quality options than this for security. The reason you don't see them is they cost too much for most people's tastes.
A few of us have ordered panel doors and roller shutters from this place in China.
www.masterwellhk.com . Ms Lillian is our contact at Masterwell, and seems to know her job.
My external mounted grain wood finish roller shutter costs about $us 700 complete with remote controls and everything. Nearly 3m wide and 2.5 high.
One of the guys already has these installed and says they are high quality products.
You have to get an import company and make sure the paperwork forms are 100% correct so you don't pay import duty as is an Asian trade.

Security mesh (saves on the mosquitoes also) is probably the only thing I would go with. Shutters and fires just leave a sick feeling in your gut.
Obviously have good fencing around the place, a few CCTV cameras for the slight chance they may deter some people.
We live rural and leave most of our windows open all day with no one home to air the place out. We just have two working dogs who do constant patrols of the property. According to National Geographic the dogs have the stopping power of .45 cal bullet. Also better with kids than things like guns laying around the place (as if in safes they are useless in emergencies).
I figure if people are keen enough to get through the fence and dogs (ie shoot their way through), then it wouldn't matter what we had they would get through, so prefer just to let the house stay a house, rather than a fortress.
1) Williamsburg: An Eater reader sends along a code red rumor: "As a longtime Williamsburg resident dating back to the time when Planet Thai (old small one) and the L cafe were pretty much the only places to eat in the hood, I was suprised to see that Planet Thai (newer, giant incarnation) has been shut down by the health dept. Thought you guys might like to know and maybe you can get the inside news to this?" A call to the restaurant rang and rang this afternoon with no answer; the Citysearch profile has a new user review posted just yesterday. Anyone know more? If it is shuttered, we're inclined to believe it's just a temporary situation. But still: ooo-wheee.
3) Gramercy? An Eater reader submits this photo of a restaurant fire last weekend. Can't figure out which joint that is, or even confirm the neighborhood, but suffice to say it's probably not good times therein.
4) Lower East Side: More quasi-Clinton Street carnage. An Eater reader emails, "Heard from the waiter last weekend that Cafe Juanita, home of the amazing Hangover Brunch will be closing April 2. Seems the brunch was a big hit, but evenings the rest of the week: not so much. I'm heartbroken. Not only was the price right ($15) for all you can drink, the food was amazing. It's one of the few places I will order an omelet. Most places burn 'em." [Citysearch Profile]
I am suddenly having problems with my S100. It will not take the picture when I press the shutter release. In case I had accidentally changed something, I did a Reset to Defaults. Then it worked, briefly, before returning to not working. It also would not let me change My Colors. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any ideas?
By clicking the "repair request" link in the response email I received from Canon, it seems that it costs a minimum of $160(!!) to send the camera in for repair. I did not investigate further, so potentially it could cost more to fix this specific shutter issue.
While Canon states this is not a known issue, it seems that this is more than a random occurrence ... especially as I have to think that the few posters here are a small number of the owners experiencing this problem.

I am having the same problem with S100. After the great performance of S90, I thought I'd continue with the series but I am totally dissapointed with the quality. I have to press the shutter button for a few seconds and really hard before the shutter goes off. After a few patient trials, the camera is pretty much useless.
EDIT: Camera was repaired by the HK Canon centre at a costs of about USD80. I would hestitate to buy another Canon product, seeing the S90 S95 S100 S110 S120 series is being released so quickly consecutively...sounds fishy imo.
I registered to this forum just to share my experience with my Canon S100. I bought my S100 in March of 2012. It started exhibiting the same shutter release problem where I press down on the shutter button, but the shutter does not release. Yes, I know you need to press halfway then press fully to release the shutter... that is not the issue. I press halfway for focus, then I press all the way down and the information text on the LCD goes away, but no picture is taken. It's like the camera is hesitating to do something. Sometimes it takes the picture, like 5-10 seconds later. Most of the time it doesn't take the picture at all. It's maybe a 25% success rate of actually taking the picture when I want it to.
I sent it back to Canon under warrantee, and they repaired and sent it back to me. Repair bill says they replaced the entire lens assembly. But, the issue was not fixed and my camera still had the shutter problem. I sent it back again, then they sent it back saying they could not reproduce the issue. I call Canon and they say to send it back again which I do, then I get it back and the top assembly was replaced. STILL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. Now my camera is out of warrantee and I have a useless camera which cannot take pictures. I paid $400 for this camera and I am not happy that the issue was never fixed.
I bought this camera in the US. However, I was living in Thailand for the last year when this issue came up for me. Not wanting to deal with international mail issues, I chose to forego my still active warrantee in the US and send it to Canon Thailand.
My Thai is not technical enough to understand the exact issue, though with the return of my perfectly functioning camera, I was also given a thin piece of circuitry that clearly ran along the top of the camera near/under the shutter release button, that I would assume connects it to the shutter mechanism itself. I haven't had a problem with it since, and this was around 4+ months ago.
It seems that Canon US does not have an interest in being accountable for their own responsibility in the matter. I hope that everyone in this forum, in addition to the likely high volume of others who have not posted here, are able to find a solution.
When a friend invited me to shoot a Muay Thai fight from the ringside, I immediately said yes. The organizers of Asian Fighting Championship (AFC) were kind enough to extend opportunities to photography enthusiasts to shoot the event. After my previous experience shooting Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) half a year ago, I thought this would be a great time to revisit fast-paced indoor sports and at the same time subject the best camera Olympus has to offer, the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, to some torture.
I am not a sports shooter, and I rarely have opportunities to shoot action or sports photography. My experience in such fast-paced shooting is limited and I expected a lot of failed shots going into the Muay Thai fight. It is extremely crucial to know the game well so you better understand which moments to aim for and what to avoid during the shoot. I did not have any particular objectives set out before hand and I went in with the intention to nail more keepers this time (compared to half a year ago). I packed the M.Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 PRO and 40-150mm F2.8 PRO with MC-14 1.4x teleconverter to increase my chances at this.
My biggest challenge was the inability (my own weakness) to predict what the fighters were about to do, or where they would be moving to. Poor understanding of the game was probably a result of insufficient homework before the fights. No matter how great the camera performs, if you fail to frame your composition according to the movements of the fighters, you will end up losing a lot of shots as fighters move out of the frame constantly. After the first fight, I found myself starting to understand the movements better and I managed to follow the fighters more effectively.
