Hi, just acquired my computer im going to use for my camera system. My office is replacing all the desktops and i got a dell 3050 with an I5-7500, 256gb SSD and 2x4gb 2133 mhz for free. so score. already ordered a 4tb WD purple drive for storage. now to start on the camera search.
I will be starting with a single camera facing out the front of the house on the drive. currently have a Nest doorbell camera.
I am getting my internet upgraded by a new ISP. they are currently wrapping up the trunkline installation in my neighborhood for fiber. I have currently have fiber from suddenlink at 400mbs down and 20mbs up. my new ISP for the same price will be 2 gig down and 2 gig up. they will be installing a "free router" but i haven't seen what they are actually giving me. i will likely replace with a new multi-gig asus GT-AX6000. New internet will should be installed sometime this month. i will probably need to buy 2 of those asus routers plus a new mult-gig switch for my gaming pc and my design workstation that have 2.5gig rj45 ports. so my budget for cameras will be limited for the next couple months. but i plan on gettting 3-4 more cameras after the 1st one is up and running.
also my daughter is in the process of getting a snake this summer so i will probably install a webcam looking at the snake enclosure so we can see it when we are away from the house.
