So Hammerhead786, what happens with an electrically conductive thermal compound if you accidentally get it over components and or pathways and power up the system? Answer, possibly a very expensive lesson. I can tell you exactly how much you would need to use if you'd like? But I thought it...

Ah, even better Murphy625. Still a pain though. The power cycling will have just rebooted and reposted the cam, and during the process the cam will have reloaded or remounted the card. At least we've worked out an easier fix together Murphy625, which is good.

I was wondering about that myself Murphy625, I don't see much use for it with a camera and especially with the nightmare you had to go through to remount it. But with an NVR it would be awesome, as run low on space or got a new HDD on a deal and unmount, pull the drive and install the...

crw030, I'm not too sure what has happened with nyc2pit's heat sink but something is definitely not right with it. But I never use the one that manufacturers provide, as they're usually noisy and inadequate at removing heat effectively. And I can recommend IC Diamond by Innovation Cooling, as...

Murphy625, hotswapping allows you to swap a drive while a system is still running and without causing corruption. So when you clicked on hotswap you told the cam to unmount the flash drive, so that in theory you could pull the drive and replace it. Glad to hear it's sorted now though.

SouthernYankee, of course they have to be correctly wired. But that's covered by the rj45 standard, anything else is a deviation from that standard. https://cablesupply.com/rj45-ethernet-wiring-color-guides/ https://www.showmecables.com/blog/post/rj45-pinout

Hello nyc2pit, depending upon how much space you have to play with Noctua do some dammed good heatsinks with quieter fans. And IC Diamond is a good thermal compound, it doesn't conduct electricity so you can use it liberally without any major issues.

Hello watson524. When I hear installer, I think small large fee extra on top of components.

Hello Evan434sbc, may we ask what firmware version the NVR is running? As I'm wondering about HDD support in different versions, so later ones may have more HDD compatible with them. It's just an idea.

Murphy625, sounds like you need to remove and reinstall the SD card or you could try cycling the power (turn it off and back on again). As it sounds as though you've unmounted it.

The main thing that I've learned looney2ns, is that as long as an ethernet cable is terminated with rj45 connectors it's all good. CAT8 cable is only just hitting the market, but the improved shielding and lower resistance sounds interesting. But prices aren't good yet and it's going to be a...

Also isn't CAT6 better than CAT5 and CAT8 better than both?

Forgot to mention that CU CCTV will provide free shipping for orders over £200, which can be useful. And as djernie has said take your time, check out footage from cams that interest you on YouTube and everywhere you can. As there's an awful lot available to choose and confuse you.

You may consider a reinstall in the future beepsilver, you can use the Microsoft Media Creation tool to make an installer for the latest version until they update it again. And if you do decide on a reinstall, I'd advise you to look into using diskpart to Zero Fill Format the HDD for a really...

When the fan quits mazut, replace it with a Noctua one of same size. You will definitely notice a difference.
