    New house set-up advice please

    Thanks. Will do. I was thinking sitting on the shelf would be the simplest and thermally coolest route to take. I will have a TV in the laundry room and add the NVR to one of the HDMI inputs. Or do you recommend a dedicated monitor that is on all the time?

    Yes I understand that the NVR will be on all the time. I'm trying to keep it simple and do not want to dedicate a PC for Blue Iris. I may change my mind later and I assume it will be a simple addition.

    New house set-up advice please

    Thank you @samplenhold . I appreciate the pic. To be honest I can't make sense of it since I am clueless on setup until I move in next year. I will probably ping you and other folks on setup. I am planning to use just the NVR to start with. I may do BI but I don't want to since I think I...

    New house set-up advice please

    Some good news. For $200 bucks I am having the electrician come back in and flip the coms box to the other side of my office which would be the laundry room. What are you guys doing as far as placement of your NVR? Do you put it in a cabinet? Or do you just set in on a shelf? Any tips and...

    Thanks @bigredfish @Shockwave199 @sebastiantombs @bradner @samplenhold @mat200 I'll take a look at those. I like the idea of a color cam at the front door. Moving on, here is my cam layout. Please give me your thoughts and suggestions. As a reminder I have a steel detached garage 24x30 to...

    Doesn't sound that bad but it is hard to tell because I don't really know since it depends on how loud my monitor speakers are.

    @bigredfish LOL! My ears are shot too from shooting too much. Especially my left ear. I am right handed but left eye dominant and keep both eyes open when I shoot so my head turns to the right and my left ear gets the brunt of the sonic bang. Yes I do use ear protection but too much time...

    New house set-up advice please

    Thanks @bigredfish I didn't have to PM you after all :) Originally the builder had the coms junction box in the garage. I was concerned about heat shortening the life of any electronics so I asked him to route it to my office. I figure it would make it easier for me to manage everything in...
