Hello the Forum

I'm from Australia, I have an IT background and can play around with h/w and s/w without too much trouble.
I mainly prefer working in WinTel environments but I do have some superficial Linux experience.

What I have today:
  • Blue Iris v4
  • 4 x HikVision DS-2CD2032 4mm bullets (bought 2 years ago but project sidelined)
  • 1 x PoE Netgear switch
  • 1 x pre-loved Core-i7 desktop (not built yet) and it needs a new HDD. I'm looking to install a small SSD boot drive and a WD 3Tb purple for BlueIris data.

I'm about to set this up and am doing some research etc. Consequently, I signed onto the forum today.

Just looking online today and the h/w landscape has changed quite a bit. I see a lot more alternate brands available from China and I'm not seeing any Hiks. I'm now looking for an additional 6mm or maybe an 8mm bullet to monitor the driveway and letterbox and would appreciate any cam recommendations.

cheers,
Rohan
