    HARD DRIVE UPGRADE SSD?

    I understand but would an SSD 1tb drive be better than a 1tb SATA drive. There are about the same price. Seems the SSD would be a better choice regardless of tb size, discounting price difference for larger capacity drives.

    Does a good camera itself help before sending to BI, AI? In the settings of a AI camera itself.

    AI CAMERAS

    Thanks I’m sure these are very good choices but way out of my league. Really tight is what MikeA suggested. I won’t spend more than $100 I really don’t think it’s necessary for my needs.

    eBay store CCTV-BAR

    Thanks for all you help. After more research I’m finding that out about eBay. No fun trying to buy a computer there either. Couldn’t even find reasonable cat6 cable until I came across one of your posts. Monoprice but only in blue go figure. I like blue got a 500 foot roll.

    HP PRODESK 600 G4 MINI PC i5-8500T

    I understand in the cliff notes T cpus aren’t recommended but it has a bench mark score of 7742. Compared to let’s say an i5-7600 with a bench mark of 6589. The i5-8500t is a mini vs the sff of the i5-7600. I like the size of the mini. Probably showing my ignorance here but something I’d like to...

    Optiplex i7-6700 vs i5-8400

    Would and Optiplex i5-8400 be a good choice for BI server vs the i7-6700. I’ve read several posts here but couldn’t determine if the 8400 was good or not. Tests show the 8400 is far superior in many ways than the 6700. But in the important ways I don’t know. Anyone using the 8400 for a server? I...
