I got it from Amazon I think it was Computer upgrade king. Looks like their price has gone up some and Amazon appears to be selling it direct for $319.0 now. It listed for $324.99 when I bought it. With my discount it came to ~$284.0 According to my cheapo watt meter the TS140 70A4001LUX is...

It's been a couple months and everything is working well. The Purple drives are doing fine and with 2 cams @3mp the cpu is about 11-13% in performance monitor. I need more cams and will probably get more of the same when I figure out the aux lighting. I'll be getting some auxiliary lighting...

Apparently Carl, AKA Network Camera Critic has passed away. I never corresponded with him, though I did spend several hours reading his reviews and shopped at his daughters store. For a newbie like myself his website was like a beacon in the fog. Thank you Network Camera Critic, for all...

I went with the Lenovo Thinkserver TS140. I decided on the WD purple 2TB drives (WD20PURX) from the other thread. I will try the 8.1. If it doesn't work out I can always use it for the desktop upgrade. Thanks again for all the help fenderman.

So I have the server, HDD's and cameras. Trying to decide which OS. OS drive will be on a separate (SSD). I'm not at all familiar with Windows Server or Windows 8.1. My desktop is Vista 64 :/, it's been a while. Would Windows 8.1 would be the least expensive option? Would it be dependable 24/7...

Any tips on finding out the ME driver Firmware version Before purchase? Haswell refresh is showing some nice Passmark score improvements for less $ according to PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End . Certainly not a deal breaker, would be nice upgrade path option though.

ThinkServer TS140 and TS440 motherboards with ME driver Firmware version earlier than 9.1.0.1120 (FRU 03T8874, 03T8873 and 03T8612) cannot support Intel Haswell Refresh CPU. For TS440: 00FC658 motherboard can support both Haswell Refresh CPU and Haswell CPU 03T8874...

Is that a higher failure rate than normal? I'm using an SSD for storage, because that's all I have ATM. I can review recordings at 4x or faster. Which unfortunately is required due to some issues my tenants have been having with the neighbors :disturbed:. I just want to be able to get through...

Ok thank you,that sounds good. I would be happy with 17-22% with 4 cams on the E3-1225 v3 for now. I have BI 4.0.1.14 x64 currently. ts140 will probably be headless for now, not sure how much less cpu that gets me or how much cpu RDP will cost me. The BI android app is nice for occasional...

i7 Haswell should be compatible upgrade for future with ts140. I will confirm though. What %cpu does the dedicated i-7 run with 8 cams on BI? Some ts140 come with server 2012r2. Was considering running that.

Hey fenderman thanks for replying. I want to get the ts140 with the Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 3.2GHz. I will look at raid 1. Not sure what my raid options are with the ts140, probably limited without card. Not too familiar with all the raids. I have only ever done 1 raid (0) on a desktop. 2-3 cams...

Hello Ip Cam Talk, I'm currently running 1 'rebranded' Hikvision ds-2cd2332-i, using Blue Iris on my desktop PC. I'm wanting to expand, probably 4 cams total near term, up to 8 cameras max, since the gigabit POE switches I'm looking at have 8 ports. Leaning toward the Thinkserver ts140 with...
