Picked up this Dell Optiplex 7040 to use as my Blue Iris computer as we don't have personal computers at home. Wife and I both have laptops provided to us through our employers. Here are the specs of the 7040 Operating System- Windows 10 Professional x64Bit CPU- Intel Core i7-6700 Processor...

That's the one that had me scratching my head the most. A few minutes more and taking the time to run the conduit from above would have made that install look so much better.

As much as I'm in my company truck driving I might need to look into these plus one for the wife.

I was messing around looking for a desktop to run blue iris off of and decided to see if there were any security camera installers posting ads. Below are some of the photos from an ad in particular For the most part they don't look that bad, I might would change how I ran some of the flex...

Saw this posted online. It's not what you want but that's what it would look like.

Yep all the way up to 8 TB. The house is only 2 story and about 3k sq ft, WiFi coverage should be fairly easy and the acreage is small but should be able to use the WiFi in the road while talking to neighbors and listening to streaming music.

Is anyone running a Dream Machine SE as their NVR? With the Dream Machine SE only $499 and it has a built in NVR, I’m thinking of biting the bullet and picking one up along with a couple 5442’s since we will have high speed fiber soon. Figure since I’ll be swapping ISPs it’ll be a good time to...

Correct but for the OP maybe the first patch panel could be all the ubiquiti stuff, second panel could be all the cameras and third panel could be the miscellaneous hardwired items in the house such as tv's, desktops, so forth and so on.

while not a patch panel around the 2:00 minute mark this guy shows his setup. Might be something to consider.

Check out your faux posts and see if you can run the wire from the soffit down into the post and then mount it.

Here is an install thread of the camera mat200 is talking about in the above post. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/how-i-installed-a-dahua-ipc-hdbw4231f-as-wedge-cam-at-the-front-door.45640/

Might I add a suggestion. The front door approach camera---- it looks like you could run the wire inside the soffit on the top of the porch then come down the faux post in the middle of the porch. From there you could mount the camera just below the trim on the post. the camera should blend...

Coupon code no longer valid.
