    Which Computer Do I Buy To Run Blue Iris On? What Do You Use?

    Interesting and I am not surprised. I strongly considered Netgear when I needed my POE switch but as mentioned I ended up with a ZyXel switch and I am one who always over researches stuff before I hit the buy button.

    New to IP cams, looking to learn

    :welcome: Start by reading the Cliff Notes in the wiki, then read them a second time:D You are off to a good start but I would plan on adding a spare PC vs using your existing home server. I run Blue Iris on WIN 10 and six Dahua/Empire Tech cams, 100% happy with my setup.

    Which Computer Do I Buy To Run Blue Iris On? What Do You Use?

    Look at Dell Outlet, look at the scratch & dents. I have bought several in the past and never could tell the difference from the new ones I bought. Intel CPU's are preferred with BI but my home built (Windows 10 O.S.) Ryzen runs like a Swiss watch. Ryzen 2700 with 16 GB RAM, NVMe 500GB SSD for...

    How do you seal an unused 12V Connector on the camera?

    I would use dielectric grease in the connection, then coax seal, and then tape.

    'All-around' Outside Camera Recommendation?

    A Dahua 5442 2.7 - 12 MM varifocal turret for faces, $175 (Empire Tech Amazon). A Dahua 5442 8 - 32MM for License Plates, $235 (Empire Tech Amazon). These should work for the intended purposes, there are other options but I believe these would meet your stated requirements.

    Computer for 4-8 cameras?

    A wise man one told me that cameras multiply like rabbits, he was right. I figured 4 cameras MAX, currently I am at six active cameras and several unmounted new in box looking for a location and finding time to mount and cable them.

Affordable price should have a comment directly related to the price, such as, outstanding value, excellent value, excellent camera for the price, etc. Under "Why...

    Hello From Atlanta - Help on PC build

RAM is cheap right now so it seems you could buy a used $25 GPU or find a decent to good new budget GPU for less than $75 - $100, case and PSU probably adds another $100. 16GB RAM should...

    P137 mounting upside down?

    I am perplexed as to why the CAT5E can only be fed thru the top? I must be missing something, it seems to me you could go through the bottom middle or alternatively drill one of the side plugs about 1/4" to feed from the side.
