Tried looking around but not finding the answer I'm looking for.
My PC uses about 160 watts of juice when turned on... it adds up when the computer has to run 24hrs a day. So I'm wondering, has anyone ever put a kill-o-watt meter on their NVR system to see how much power it ACTUALLY uses?
There are lots of specs on them but they are all for MAX power draw.. Google turns up lots of results but it seems everyone is talking about the camera's themselves and not the actual NVR recorder.
I anticipate my system will end up with 4 or 5 cameras but I know what the camera's require, I'm trying to figure out what the NVR device itself uses.
