What a goon, CCTV was installed 6 months ago, Boiler was installed today...

 

Dont feel sorry for me, it’s made me laugh quite hard and my Facebook friends laugh even harder!

Sory not making sense. looks like snow falling off a roof? What am I looking at?

CCTV is looking at the outlet of his boiler!

[Stones]

If nothing else, you have an extremely good flue monitoring system

My boiler flue has essentially created a smoke machine completely engulfing my security camera, which is 10x worse in night vision

Haha well I’ve left it running overnight to commission the underfloor and heat the slab, I am actually finding it useful to pop on to the cameras and check it’s still running as I don’t live at the property, every cloud... haha

@Nickfromwales can confirm this, or otherwise, but you may be able to fix this with a flue extension.  A new house was built up the road from us a couple of years ago, and they had to fit a sort of "periscope" arrangement to their boiler flue, to avoid it blowing out across a footpath, and something like that might be a solution for your problem.

Yup. These kinds of thing :-

These are called, "plume management kits" and can be all sorts of crazy arrangements for redirecting nuisance plume. .

That last picture shows a right mess of pipe and cabling.

And are those fridge magnets behind the door.

They're just random google images .

Thanks, @Nickfromwales, those first photos look exactly like the "periscope" arrangement on the house down the road, and are exactly what I was thinking of.  I shall try and remember that they are called plume management kits!

 

It looks easy enough to retrofit one of these to an installation, looking those photos, so my guess is that one may offer an easy fix for the problem that @Grosey is having.

[Nickfromwales]

It does sometimes require the original flue to be either cut back, or replaced if it's too short. 

[Grosey]

Unfortunately I can’t see the wife agreeing to any form of plume management!

 

Its not too bad during the day, the night vision makes it much worse. I’ll see how it works out over time but it’s more likely to become a security camera move than anything else. 

 

Photo shows it running now in daytime -
