    New Video Surveillance System - Suggestions and input wanted

    @kcenter - you probably have this covered already, but don't forget about system backup - I use Macrium Reflect (done many successful restores with it & have confidence in the product), but there are many other programs and methods available. It's always interesting to me how this very important...

    Odd Neighbor Terrorizing My Cats!!!

    It looks to me like you have an outdoor, free-roaming cat. Some folks feed birds and other wildlife that cats naturally prey on and do not like free-roaming domestic animals on their property. No idea if that guy falls into this category of person, but at any rate he has no right to be on your...

    Cool, thanks @nayr ! ... it'd be worth it just to fix the d@mn ends that the fragile locking tab has broken off ... (hate it when that happens :livid:) .. that EZ-RJ45 http://amzn.com/dp/B00939KFOU looks like it'd do the job.

    I've always taken the easy way out and purchased cat5e with ends already on them, even for the longer runs, but I've wondered about making my own cables - what's the deal with putting an end on - do you have to strip the ends off of each individual wire before placing the end on and crimping or...

    You might consider going with a 240g Solid State Disk (ssd) - for your os & software drive - sure helps on boot times. I use Crucials; a lot of folks like Samsung EVO's. It's cheap insurance for quick boots. Also, don't forget about UPS for your PoE switch and BI PC. I like TP-Link also -...

    Separate Network for IP Cameras?

    @Diggs - thanks for the input - I've been in IT 30+ years also and relatively new to the camera game as well, but I screwed around enough with the cameras and wifi to know it's not reliable enough (for me) to implement. Instead I ran cat5e to the 7 locations I have cameras - that's been some...

    would you buy a refurbished harddrive?

    I developed kiosk software (airline industry) some years ago back when OS/2 was all the rage (ok, maybe it was actually rage *at* OS/2, but I digress) - it took about 5 to 10 minutes to boot up fully then (app loaded, etc.) - that was 20 years ago though. Imagine what the landscape will be 20...

    would you buy a refurbished harddrive?

    Yeah I hear you - I have the same problem these days :D ... might want to do some research & make sure the bios in your dells will handle a ssds or at least which ssds will work in them properly before moving forward ...
