    Question on Remote Storage

    Hah! You sound like my boss! I hit him up trying to find a flush mounted storage solution for my network and while we don't do that stuff daily he texted me a box he found for $400. I laughed and he responded with "It's just money!". I do know the joys of having an SSD, though. I haven't had a...

    Question on Remote Storage

    I guess I am just failing to see how I can pull of a $300 machine to do all of it with an SSD and a larger than 500gb 3.5 drive when the refurb'd machine alone is over 2? Also, just wanna say thanks for your replies and your activity here. The few threads I have made you are always there with...

    Question on Remote Storage

    Any suggestions on not overly vast NAS? Also, you replied to one of my threads a while back about NVR vs PC and pointed me to refurb'd warrantied machines which is likely the route I would take. If I had a NAS would there even be a reason for a larger HDD in the initial machine?

    Question on Remote Storage

    I am not worried so much about the data restrictions. I have a business class connection with unlimited bandwidth. Can Blue Iris email me the video footage as well after triggering? Also, is it possible to set schedules in BI where it will stop triggering certain events during certain times? As...

    New here - New system and could use your help!

    Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Looks like going the route of the elitedesk is probably a decent deal. One more question.. I am weighing buying a 8 port (4 of them POE) switch to add to my network for the cameras. My only concern is the switch (unless you spend ALOT) is only 10/100...
