    Installation project, your advice requested!

    Your list looks good I would figure in a decent 1080P dedicated monitor. I would also add a handheld monitor(tool you get to keep) to get the camera aim close. They make them in TVI. Don't let everyone shoot you down on TVI. I just converted 8 locations from old analog to TVI. It is a quantum...

    Best NVR Software that money can buy?

    On the exacq it is per camera license. I originally went with the starter license on my personal server build and now need to re-license to get further updates. The licenses are sold only thru registered security dealers to the best of my knowledge. Expect to pay between $70 and $175 per camera...

    Best NVR Software that money can buy?

    Exacq is in my opinion the best software. It just "makes sense" when setting up, adding cameras, and definitely works well across many camera platforms. Go to one of there certification classes if possible. You may need to go thru one of their security dealers.

    The police want a copy of Dahua hard drive to investigate B&E

    If you were not the victim, I would not give it up without a court order stating the specific time and date. Nothing more, nothing less.

    DSC pc1832 partitioning

    Typically you will need a keypad dedicated to a partition. It's almost like another alarm system. I am not totally up on the DSC panels but on GE you can make a keypad a "master" to choose which partitions to arm/disarm. Experience with end users would indicate a dedicated keypad is the way to go.

    Another POE item

    I just saw this. Not the smartest switch in the bunch, but the price is good and you can turn on/off the poe feature to each port. http://www.neweggflash.com/Product/9SIA2M40ZA6033 I have no commercial interest in this.

    10MP IP camera suggestions...

    Poor low light performance is a result of more(smaller) pixels on the same surface area. Bigger pixels=better low light
