    SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM QUEST

    ZYXEL 1900 MANAGED SWITCH

    Its a GS1900-8HP. I just talked to Zyxel and he told me to change the 192.168.1.1 to something higher. He said to change it in setting under network adapters. Couldn't find anything I could change there. My router is a combo modem/router would that make a difference? Don't was to screw up my...

    Is this bundle worth it?

    NCS. I’m as, let’s say, as uninformed as you. After much research I chose BI over an NVR for many reasons. I chose Hikvision because I found better local availability of this brand over Dahua. With a refurbished computer, POE switch, cameras (5) and software I spent about $450 for computer, $60...

    WINDOWS 10 NEW COMPUTER

    Silas, I have no clue what your talking about; what I was referring to was bloatware, I think that’s the correct term, that comes with a new computer. Maybe that’s what your talking about, just a bit of translation confusion. I researched what Mr. F and Noloc said as it sounds simple until you...

    DAMAGED COMPUTER HELP

    Thanks for the quick response. The surge protector was an older tp- Linx, not cheap. I have replaced all my surge protectors with Belkins, with 8 foot cords. I read the cords should be a least 8 feet long. To be fair it was quite a strike, over $10,000 in damage to other items through my house...

    BI CPU

    Thanks for that information Mr. F. I checked these two out and as you said just add more memory and I assume a hard drive as it's not mentioned. On the Dell site they have a i5-7400 for $400 with discount applied. It has everything needed I think for BI. 8GB DDR memory, 1TB hard drive, and...

    Believe me I've read them all and know about the discounts. I think $300 is a bit low from what I'm finding now a days. Never know someone may have scored recently around that range. Thanks Mr. F

    COMPUTER for BI

    I can see your point of view but since I'm the employer and it's my money I don't think there will be a problem. I was originally just looking for advise about a computer and though I made myself clear about what I HAD to spend. Apparently not. But that's ok not really important to me.

    COMPUTER for BI

    Ewc1111 thanks I tried that but they don't allow any builds except for the high end gaming computers then $1600 is peanuts when to comes to building one of those. With them it very difficult to communicate as ever phone call is directed to India. Between the phone lines and their accents it's...

    Ya, I know what you mean but thats what I must spend + or -. Use or loose so to speak. Long story. So it's either a Dell with uncessary stuff or another solution. Also only one computer.
