Here is the beginning of the installation in my basement. I've done communications operations & maintenance but I really haven't done installations so hopefully it's not too bad for the setup/work/installation ... Sorry for the low lighting. I have a LED work light I'm mounting later this week.
I plan to install a dedicated POE switch below the patch panel dedicated to just cameras and other POE devices. Temporarily I have a small 5-port POE switch in the garage for the cameras on the front of the house I was playing around with.
Once I get a keyboard/trackpad combo, I can get rid of the mouse and the small black shelf that is on the side of the rack.
The heart of the system is a computer running Blue Iris (i7-6700, Intel HD 530, 8GB Ram, 5TB storage drive) that I have locked inside the orange Rigid work box (bolted to the floor for good measure). A thief can quickly steal anything they can grab but the computer with all the footage of them won't be one of those. I cut 2" conduit holes on the sides for ventilation and added an box w/ A/C fan to pull fresh air thru the enclosure keep is nice and cool.
