OK, so on my first post I was "schooled" a bit on the cost of power when running a server I probably didn't need to run. It was WAY overkill and would have cost me way more than necessary on power over a 12 month period. Lo and Behold yesterday I came into the ownership of an Intel NUC (Intel® NUC Kit NUC6i5SYH) that is a 6th Gen I-5 with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. I am attaching two USB 3.0 drives to offload after recording direct to disc. Then I found a great little TP Link switch with 4 PoE (I will only have 3 cameras) to use: TP-LINK - 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 4 Port PoE - Black/Gray
and as soon as I can get a UPS for it I think I am ready to start installing.
So to those great oracles on here who helped me before, first, Thank You. And, can you take a look and tell me what you think? My first camera arrives tomorrow (Starlight Dahua) and I will be running BI on the NUC.
Thanks as always to a great forum with a massive depth in the subject matter that is always happy to share!
