    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    Hey Looney I'm working with someone to get the computer but they've asked me a question I'm not sure about. Can you help answer it please ? They are asking what form factor for the NIC card, they said "The NIC would usually be a size like x1, x4, x8, or x16" They also asked about the HD but I...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    I've just figured it out - it's going to some sort of internet signal booster mounted on the ceiling (maybe that's the WAP you are talking about) - it's a 3 floor building . You nailed it again !

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    yeah I'll have to try and figure out where it's going. I'll check the in/out regarding the LAN as you suggest. Certainly a mystery to me.

    The grey cable goes into the switch from the injector, the blue disappears into the mass of cables that goes out somewhere and not into the switch

    Hi Wittaj, I posted a picture of my switch on page 3 and was told it was just a network switch and not POE but I've just noticed that injector - so it doesn't make any sense to me. There are no cameras plugged into it yet, just ethernet cables that run through the house

    I've just noticed this POE injector is going into my current network switch. What is the purpose of it if it's not to power cameras ?

    Assuming this would be a good choice for the POE ? POE+ netgear

    Guys Should the POE switch be managed or unmanaged?

    That's really brilliant, I'll get one ordered. That's another thing ticked off the list thanks to this forum. Truly appreciate your help with that Looney2ns :)

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    nice username! Thanks for the links, I think Wittaj's wiki suggests 16gb ram so I'll probably look at a slight upgrade on the one you linked. I'm trying to find out as per advice above if this model has a spare Pcie slot for a NIC card. I'm assuming they are all able to take an internally...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    yep, the preference is not to have it there but it's looking like it's tough luck! I'm fine with it as long as the machine is quiet, I can just mount it to the wall behind the door. I'm just looking for the best option and it sounds like that's what it is. I've learnt it's better to ask...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    OK that makes sense but I think that means I have to put the computer in the closet which is going to be a fight with the Mrs lol :wtf:

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply ! Wittaj mentioned that earlier but I don't think I made my question clear or I'm not understanding. I have an ethernet cable running from my network switch to the bedroom where the PC lives. I want to know if I can plug a POE switch into the network switch and then...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    Can I ask a set up question please. So I have to get a POE switch and plug that into that network switch above, all the ethernet cables in that run to points in all the rooms in the house (and one to the router) - am I able to put my blue iris machine directly into an ethernet jack in any room ?

    That's why I asked, I wasn't sure if it was even the right thing and it sounds like it isn't. Cheers :)

    Guys, this is the switch that we currently have. Is this going to be good enough ? I have four slots available for the four cameras It's a planet GSD 1603 https://networkcamerastore.com/products/planet-gsd-1603-16-port-10-100-1000base-t-desktop-gigabit-ethernet-switch

    This is my first venture but i'm starting with the four camera's (I've ordered two Empiretech as recommended on page 1 here to move them around the positions I have to evaluate what i need) , we live on a gated community that has some sort of plate reader for every car that comes in so I don't...

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    I'll come back to you on that if that's ok, I have a question but I think it's better if I add some photos. If i'm following correctly (unlikely :wtf: ) then it would make life an awful lot easier !

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    it all terminates in the master bedroom closet on the third floor, that's where the switch and router are. Can you explain a little more because if I could put the gear elsewhere that would be a better option imho

    If you had this set up what would you use ?

    would this be good for running BI ? I'd choose the 500gb ssd although that is likely overkill as that would only house the OS, 16gb ram, windows 11 then add my own surveillance hard drive. Comes out about $228 + whatever the extra hd would be DELL Desktop Computer PC i7, up to 64GB RAM, 8TB SSD...
