Thanks - I just picked up a 4TB WD Purple drive today. I'm just waiting for the stupid Dell HD Caddy to arrive (Tomorrow) before I install.

Yeah, I was in store on Friday and had a 2TB drive in my hand, but set it down since I wasnt sure. Then the sale started on Sunday! Win for me! I have double coverage from 4 of the cameras (2 cams cover the front of my house from the edges, and 2 cover from the center out.) Maybe I will record...

Thanks for the input - I found a deal from Frys for a 4TB for $139 USD after 15% discount on sale. 2TB is not on sale for $89 USD. Sounds like I will hop on that deal. Thanks for your input. Luckily, having two physical drives should alleviate any instability, if the recording drive goes. I...

A gigabit PoE switch that milkisbad sold me (poe-sw800g) Cat 5e, and the longest run is probably 75-100ft. I left some slack on both ends. For whatever reason, when 5 cams are plugged into the PoE switch using any ports, the system is fine. (loads in IE quickly, and BI indicates 30fps.) When...

Yeah, milkisbad spent 2 hrs with me trying to diagnose. We think the PoE switch isnt working at gigabit speeds like it should. With 5 cams plugged in, its 30fps all day. Adding the 6th basically kills all of them. By plugging the 6th into the router directly, it works fine too...

Hello All, Just purchased a few IP cams from a vendor on the site, and am getting them set up. Excited to get the system up and running! Computer is a brand new I7 4790 3.6GHz with 16GB ram. (500 gb HD, but I have a SSD in the mail) I have 3 CMIP7432-28M and 3 CMIP9532. When viewing in...
