How about this set from Hikvision ECI-T24F2? 6 cameras. Also would the doorbell cam work with that nvr?

I'm new to surveillance and know little, I use to browse these forums years ago and am deciding if I want to go with Hikvision, or Swann from Costco. I'm looking to put around 8 cameras around my house to cover my property. Hikvision has enormous amounts of cameras now, which are the best to get...

So what do you suggest I go with, I know an i7 but should I go for a 4 GB of ram of 8 gb. And how about the basic AMD video cards? I found one on the website, i7 w/ 8 GB ram and 1 tb hdd w/ amd video card. $40 more then the same system without amd video card and only 500 gb hdd. As I said I...

Hey fenderman, Ive been watching that Dell outlet and I don't see that they are adding anymore PCs there. I might have to choose from whats left or wait til they have another sale, (who knows when that might happen). May I ask, what specs are you running as I saw in another thread that your...

Thanks for that. Which internal HD do you suggest? I'm thinking either WD purple surveillance drives or WD Black drives, maybe even the red nas drives.

Yeah alright I took your advice and canceled my order. Going to hope I can find the same deal bp posted earlier before the sale ends Monday. With recording have you added internal HDs into the system and record directly to the drives inside or record to external HDs?

Awesome, thinking about canceling my order and waiting for the one to be available that bp suggested. Not sure that I really need 16 gb of ram for the extra $140. Would 4 GB be enough to run 10 1080p (prob hikvision) cams or so at 3 mp?

Probably 3. I am looking at costco.com and seeing they have deals for around the same price for new PCs around the same price or slightly more with the same specs and these are brand new. Not sure I got such a good deal after all.

I ended up going with the same system bp2008 suggested but with 16 GB Ram. it was $10 more then the 8 GB Ram so I figured why not. Paid little under $600 w/ tax, thought it was a good deal? Would it be able to run about 10 cameras with BI, with about how much CPU usage? I am only running 2 right...

Wow you guys are awesome. Thanks for sending me that link, definitely a really good deal. I just built a custom one for triple that cost. Was looking for a computer just to run my cams. So you said I can just check their Twitter page for these deals and coupon codes? I would probably want to buy...

Awesome thank you guys for your help! Thanks for this information. I would be willing to increase my budget to $500 and purchase that dell system. That's a good deal. So how would I be able to get it at that price, so I have to keep checking the dell business outlet store?

Hi I'm thinking about purchasing a PC preferably one of the really tiny ones such as a NUC. I'm just not sure if they are fast enough to run Blue Iris effectively. Can any of you recommend me a PC that can run blue iris effectively? Thanks

I'm trying to write the recordings from my 2432 to my "MyCloud Mirror" which is a NAS HD. I actually have a HD plugged into the back of my mycloud which makes it a folder/directory on the NAS and I'm trying to record to it. I can't seem to get it to work. Is there any manuals or anything that...

I am still debating on purchasing a NVR or possibly build an i7 PC to use as a NVR, my question is will even an i7 handle 10-15 cams which I plan on expanding to in the future? What do you all use? NVRs or PCs? All these decisions are so hard for me when I know very minimal about surveillance...

Thanks for your response. I actually haven't got this fixed yet but that's because I haven't been able to go into my wifi because is my parent's. I will have to ask them to do it for me. Thanks for the info and reply!
