    When recording as MP4 - BI client and web return "unable to connect"

    since I am recording on a server it's easier for me to play also since most of the time i'll be playing on a machine that doesn't have BI.

    Camera placement advice

    Yeah, hydro here (WA state) makes power pretty cheap. I didn't add those since I'd pay those anyway (regardless of the server choice). Still, your point is valid, the numbers would show it's worth upgrading.

    Oh man @fenderman - you are going to make me look at the numbers aren't you? I have a big spreadsheet of different sized drives and ultimate the TCO $/GB and it's all about power. You are totally right, I should upgrade and I should upt 6TB drives in the server, that's how I lower my cost...

    Big camera dilemma. Opinion needed

    I am just thinking about getting my system also and I can't see how WiFi could even work. Sustained througput on a wireless system where every detail could matter smells of trouble. Since you need to power the camera anyway how about going with PoE?
