    Computer help please

    Too many variables to tell. It could be a 10 year old machine or a 6 month old machine. Share the specs and the eBay country you are using. Or even better, share the eBay link.

    Patch panel / faceplate - cable management and identification - your preference

    I use a patch panel (faceplates/keystones end up being more expensive and more work if you are running from a spool). For my cameras, I have the numbers clockwise around the house. Port 1 is cam 1, port 2 is cam 2 etc..

    First time camera user, IPC-T2431T-AS initial questions

    Lady with BOLT CUTTERS?

    That's hilarious. Had to freeze frame it to see how it ended up looking like a lady with bolt cutters. Here is the frame with a motion detection squares removed.

    3 Wheel Vehicle
