That's what I needed @nayr. Thanks for the insight. I was given a 24" Lenovo monitor I plan to connect to the NVR for viewing or maybe a cable to the tv in bedroom. Glad to hear the laptop would do what I need. Thanks!

Long story, but just this week in one big chunk, my bank gave me about $600 worth of reward points I could use at Amazon or Best Buy. I have an iPhone, and am considering using the rewards for an iPad Air 2. Would it work for this camera system or should I use a pc to configure these switches...

If the walkers are a big concern, it said multiple sensors could also be used in series to set a perimeter. that would be cool. I think it could alert by zones so you know which way to point the boom sticks before looking...I..um...mean...which door to walk out..... and yea they seem...

I have no experience with this, but it looks promising. http://www.amazon.com/Dakota-Alert-BBA-2500-BBT-2500-DCR-2500/dp/B0083OAASM http://www.dakotaalert.com/catb2b1/product_info.php?cPath=51&products_id=143

That is exactly what my coworker has had for years and has worked flawlessly! Highly recommended.

To clarify, I mentioned I rarely need to charge it, but I do make sure the backlight is shut off since the office has great lighting. And I also shut the switch off at the end of the day....when I remember. The book states: A three-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use when you type about...

yes, actually my wife and kids give me a hard time, but while i'm at my desk at work, I have my phone propped up in front of me and it's tied to bluetooth #2. I just basically push a button and I'm typing on my phone. lol. I'm always the one behind on technology, but this is really cool. For...

I use one of these every day at work, and it functions well. Rarely need to charge it. Didn't realize they cost so much.

Thanks @nayr. Wouldn't my old laptop be sufficient to set up the devices? I have been considering a larger/newer tablet of some sort due to using iScore at ballgames for scoring of my daughters softball team, but that probably would not work for this purpose?

So here is probably some dumb questions. I'm now assuming that the free switches I was given, and the midspan, and the network I have now decided to build, will require a computer to configure and set up and maintain these devices? My earlier posts mentioned that I only have an outdated laptop...

Sounds good, appreciate that. Since you dropped a 'patch panel' on me and wasn't sure why it was needed, I just did a bunch of reading why I would need the patch panel. I'm so small and really could go straight to the switch, but this info I just found on a Google search from Cisco's site, laid...

Perfect! Thanks much!

Thanks. I think he said he can get me more as they upgrade to larger switches, so it would be good to have some spares. Correct, they are not POE. The IT guy that gave me the obsolete switches said he can get me the SPF modules too that they don't need anymore. When he gets me a third switch, I...

here are pics of the switches that were given to me. I think I can get some more. They are obsolete for work now. The price was right, couldn't I use these at each building (including house) with my fiber even though they are only FE, and not need any media converters? I just need the...

ive had arc flash training for my work and have seen the pics and videos. Yea I'm with ya, not posting those here. I've been hit good by 480 before too. It grabbed me. Hurts a lil. Lol.
