    CMP Cable

    Well, It seems im blind. Cable Wholesale seems to have everything I need. Anyone know if they are reputable? https://www.cablewholesale.com/products/network-phone/cat-6-cable-bulk/product-11x8-031th.php I'm going to leave this thread because nothing else showed up under search results for...

    CMP Cable

    No results showed up when I searched CMP. I have to have CMP ( Plenum ) data wire for our small office, the area above the drop ceiling is all a return plenum for the hvac. Thus requiring CMP rated cable. It's proving difficult to locate true cmp, fully copper and in various colors. Monoprice...

    WD 14TB on BI

    I'm building our small office system and going with BI5 and currently using a sff dell optiplex 7050 with a i7 7700. Until I change the case we'll have 1 slot for an hd. It's been a decade and want to make sure these wd 14 pro are good to go. In the past we preferred smaller hd's because of...

    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    Yeah that's how I came up with the I7-7700.

    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    I still gotta put an ssd in and load windows. I just bought it from a local government auction for $40. Lol will do asap though. I bought a couple other 7050s but they had i5s in then which is still fine. Using one as my main desktop and the other will be a home BI5 build.

    4k, varifocal and 80 bucks. Thoughts

    Yeah I saw that but I was hoping it was cheaper. I'd much much rather have the varifocal for another $30. Thanks though. Just trying to get the company I work for started and I can slowly get better cameras. Really looking at the $80 4mp 2.8mm for now to cover entry doors and then in a few...

    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    Yeah I'll pull it apart and double check but it should be a I7-7700

    4k, varifocal and 80 bucks. Thoughts

    Dm sent. Thanks If I could get the 4mp in something other than 2.8 that would be great. Something like 6mm.

    4k, varifocal and 80 bucks. Thoughts

    Yeah for sure. Lol just a lapse in judgement Is there another indoor varifocal I should be looking at that is around 100? Just looking for a start, with an upgrade in the 2023 fiscal year. I'll move these cams around to other low priority areas

    4k, varifocal and 80 bucks. Thoughts

    Yeah it's going in an office with full lighting 24/7 so the night performance is irrelevant and zoomed in all the way.

    4k, varifocal and 80 bucks. Thoughts

    So I totally will be buying from Andy. But I came across this sale and was curious. INDOOR WELL LIT OFFICE USE ONLY. Varifocal would be perfect for the entry doors. Will he a blue Iris 5 machine. The reolink RLC-822A is $80 from 200. Only reason that makes me consider is the varifocal...

    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    BI5 is good up to 64 cams right? I have a older Dell 7050 with an I7 I could bring in and use dedicated for cctv. Just get a poe switch and then I would also have the flexibility to use just about any camera I want. I'm sure they'd buy a machine but I'd rather put that money into cameras.

    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    Yeah I'd use bi but being in an office setting I think I'd rather use an nvr. The 24 poe and 32 non poe have similar bandwidth limits but that should be fine. Being in an office setting I could do 4mp at the doors zoomed in and the open areas 2.8 8mp. Zero night is needed because it's in an...

    Best bang for your buck Blue Irish friendly Cam.

    Crazy decent cameras for under 100. With the pricing of stuff these days I paid $90 for dinner tonight for my family of 4. I'll be picking up several of these for general overview to get my system upgraded. Thanks for the info.

    Well it took me dozens of times driving to and from work to remember to record driving past the Ultium Cells manufacturing plant under construction that I posted the drone shots of several pages back. I'm going about 60 here and it still takes me just short of a minute to drive past it. It's...

    Pre Wire for a friend

    Big update, actually mounted a few. Unfortunately I only had a few hours today. I was pleasantly surprised that the new mount bases are similar to that one above. Having installed residential and commercial cctv for a few years these were by far the best mount system I've seen. It had a base...
