Long term this is good, but right now its probably not going to be game changing.

Well, when there is no actual path to the place to take, its sort of difficult to run wire. Trust me, I do this stuff for a living too. I have pulled coax, cat5/6 etc all over the place at work. EOP can and do crash. Or at least they do at my house. I have gone through multiple sets at my...

you do realize that requires way more hardware? It means more power adapters, probably a surge protector/power strip, and a network cable. Not exactly ideal in terms of keeping it simple and easy to make look nice. Plus I am unaware of any weather rated wifi bridges. (That being said, if you...

I'm in a similar situation. I have two spots outside where running wires are basically impossible. I have power, but no real way to get a network cable to them. But I want/need cams on my side gate and pool. Currently I can't find anything that actually fits the bill since Reolink cams are...

I have some dual quad core xeon systems laying around, but they are older chips and absolute powerhogs. I swear they spit fire out the back of the case. I have used one of these to host my plex system with FreeNAS for about a year to stellar results. Supermicro 2U X8DTN+ - Dual Intel Xeon...

Cool, thats a pretty reasonable assessment of this. It definitely gives me ideas on what to do to make this proposed system work. I do wonder how this stuff would run on a xeon system with many cores. Not that I have hardware here to try it on, but high core count xeon's with properly setup RAM...

Yeah, none of that is really helpful. I know what hardware to pick, I'm trying to get a gauge as to how many cameras it will really run. Which that horrifically spares on details guide does not do.

Just realized the stupid i7-7740x doesn't have QuickSync. Thanks Intel for that! Swap in a i7-7700K instead. I'll have to actually purchase it, but performance is all I'm really looking for due to the number of cameras and potential for needing more.

Building a DVR for a security camera system at work. I am not concerned with power usage. Due to how we are billed and what else is running in the building this does not matter. This would use fraction of what our VMware cluster, SAN's etc use. What I am concerned with is maintaining a minimum...
