We have a York Heat Pump Condenser unit for our AC with a variable speed air handler. Like the performance of it so far. Haven't had the chance to try out the AC portion of it yet but the heat and heat pump work great!

So how high tech do you want to go? Currently in the process of finishing up our house (started this process nearly 3 years ago now) and would be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have. A lot has to do with where you are building and what the code requirements are. Some of...

So I kind of what Biden just to be able to get 4 more years of Jim Carey portraying him on SNL (the latest skits are great).

Awesome that was exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated!

So I haven't perused the entire thread but does anyone have any recommended settings for these camera's vs factory. I don't really have time to sit down and play with them until the house is done (hopefully 2 months) but due to a dispute with a neighbor I went ahead and installed the camera's...

Yes the switch is poe+ rated. Switch is an araknis 210 48 port switch https://www.snapav.com/shop/en/snapav/switches/araknis-networks-reg%3B-210-series-websmart-gigabit-switch-with-partial-poe-and-front-ports---48-ports-an-210-sw-f-48-poe

So looking for recommendations on PTZ cameras. I was looking at some of the Dahua PTZ specs and came across a max watt requirement of 36 W. My switch only puts out a max of 30W per port. Curious if that means I am going to run into issues or if I will just lose some features at specific times...

The "normal" wiring with ethernet cable is the "B" type (WO,O,WG,B,WB,G,WBr,Br). I would just by another Ethernet Female connector and punch tool and punch it down based on Type B and see if that works. If not you can always change the order of the cables in the female until you are able to get...

Also really happy with the MegaRAID software and highly recommend others to use it if they are setting up a bunch of drives / hot swap management. Will be using MergerFS and SnapRAID on the Plex Server vs traditional Raid that way as I add more to my collection I can just expand the drives I...

Okay so to update everyone on the final route I took for those that are curious. Ended up going with 2 separate servers. B/I Server has the following hardware in it I5-9600k CPU 16GB Corsair Memory Asus B360M-A Mobo 2x PNY 250GB HD's (Raid 1) to hold OS 2x Samsung 500GB HD (Raid 1) for...

Toli lots of good info there and much appreciated. Based on case options and leaving room for expansion if I need it down the road I am going with 2 separate pcs. Most of the money is going to be in the case and the hot swappable drives. The BI computer with have 4 hot swap drives that I will...

Did spend my time hunting around new egg with not to many results. I may have to reformulate my plan given what I am looking at now wanting to do with running plex and data drives and camera's all in one... Thanks for the help!

That case would be perfect except have to order it from the UK and currently is backordered. Any other recommendations?

So i did start looking at those but I want to put this into a rack server chasis. The hardware isn't that bad price wise but once I start adding hard drives and the case the price jumps up quick. But going to be able to do 8 hot swappable hard drives (4 x 4TB) and the media server will have (4x...

Well this is true and a kick in the nuts. Was hoping to reuse some old hardware vs having it just sit doing nothing. Oh well time to start shopping!
