    Replacing stock cooling with aftermarket cooling

    I can't say I agree with that. The smaller 120mm rad keeps my i7-3770 CPU plenty cool (86 F) and as linked above can be picked up for around the $50 mark. The "better" fan towers like the Noctua NH-U14S are going to be around the $75 mark plus they are huge which means I now have to consider...

    Looking for camera layout feedback.

    I'm working on putting an order together and if all goes well purchase some LTS cameras and NVR but wanted to see what some thoughts where here of my proposed layout. First here is a sat picture of my house to give an idea of the layout of the area and what I'm trying to cover. This is my...

    Swann system or peice together my own?

    @Fruit, milkisbad just so happened and sent me a PM stating he wouldn't be back for a while so ordering the NVR from Nelly's and the cameras from wrightwoodsurveillance looks like the route I'm going to go. I'll update once everything is received.

    Swann system or peice together my own?

    Looks like I've missed the boat yesterday... Anyone by chance have one of his price lists they can share? I'm wondering if the deals are good enough to wait the day(s) or week(s) until he returns or just go ahead and buy the NVR and camera's else where. Thanks!

    Which Costco System?

    I know this is a few months old, but just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that I've noticed this morning that several Costco camera systems are on sale right now, even the 4MP camera setup. http://www.costco.com/surveillance-systems.html More cameras and money I'm wanting to spend up...

    Replacing stock cooling with aftermarket cooling

    I'll admit I was very hesitate for a long time running anything water related in my computers, but I've ran two of these systems for the last several years and have had zero issues with heat nor leakage of any kind. This setup is a closed loop setup which doesn't guarantee against leakage but is...

    Thanks for the clarification as I thought they were one of the same. Why does the turrets compare to bullets in size and night shots as the turret here seems to have a smaller IR.

    It was my understanding that turret's have more IR reflection issues than the bullets due to the glass/plastic dome over them?!

    Replacing stock cooling with aftermarket cooling

    On my main PC I run a water cooling block like this one. I think you'd get even better cooling temps for hardly much more cost. Something to consider for others interested in getting better temps over a stock setup.

    Swann system or peice together my own?

    Good point and thanks for the link. My main goal it to cover my front yard facing the street. We're not to far from a busy road and tend to have cars stop close to the house be it for a flat tire or broken down. Just a few weeks ago we actually had a stolen car ditched in front of the house. 3-4...

    Looking at Nelly's website it seems the cost of 4 hikvision camera from him is the same price as the complete Swann system at Sams Club. Not that I'm totally against spending the money but I'd still need a NVR and I'd prefer to go with an 8 channel for in case I want to add more cameras, though...

    Swann system or peice together my own?

    I'm trying to decided between getting a Swann NVR4-7300 system or buying 4 hikvision DS-2CD2032-I cameras from some place like wrightwoodsurveillance.com and then buy a Hikvision NVR. If I go with option two is there a particular NVR I should buy? Wrightwood seems only have 2-3 models and...
