NVR990, I am very much like you and to prefer to use a PC because of it's flexibility, also BI has many more features than a typical NVR and also supports many more cameras. Also I typically can find i7 OptiPlex systems at Dell's Outlet store for $500-600 which is a good price BUT a mini-tower...
I really like BI but i have found that it does not cost effectively scale up to larger systems especially when the customer wants 20 FPS rather than 10 FPS. The issue is the hardware cost a LTS NVR for a 32 camera system is $500-600 while a PC or server that can handle the load is $1000-$2000. I...

Nayr, thanks for your input i am sure Ken is overwhelmed with emails. I do small business support and know what it is like to be interrupted all day long with emails
I had to change to the UNC name because i am running BI as a service
From Ken
If running as a service it needs to be able to access this drive … use you should the UNC name instead and then set the service to run under your own account instead of “LocalService”
