    HFW4431R - adding a MicroSD card?

    Usually it's this simple .It takes a lot of effort to compile out code as it's much easier to see a resistor as a bit. What other cameras are based on this board? That will tell me where to search. As it is the camera doesn't have the reach I needed to do lpr on the entryway to the circle.

    HFW4431R - adding a MicroSD card?

    Was getting ready to mount this camera from XinRay and thought to open it up- check the desiccant, etc. On the top of the PCB though there is the familiar Micro-SD shape and pinout, and it got me wondering if I could add one. Most of the components necessary are present (some caps aren't, but...

    One of the 8 way opterons ? Yeah it'll be lower power. Figure 5 watts per stick of ram. 8 watts per hd. 35 watts+ avg load on CPU. Board will take 10. You can tweak that down. If it's under heavy load though it'll be higher to the tdp for the chip

    WD Purple 5400 or 7200

    I think the concern on PC drives was the load/unload. I bought a bunch of greens way back and misused them in devices like this. They hit pre fail very quickly. Allegedly there were firmware hacks to change the color of the drive but I never ventured there.

    Lower power consumption as compared to what? If you have a system right now what's your kill-a-watt readings at the wall?

    20 8MP cams for 30 days

    You got it. I figured it wasn't worth going into all the specifics. But it's good to know there's people out there that... Think retail price is the installed system price.

    20 8MP cams for 30 days

    Sorry... I didn't say anything about amcrest cameras. I was just commenting that I'd just built a data server for Treaty work and a price. A bit tongue in cheek as I doubted anyone world be interested in that level of redundancy and performance except for governments and businesses that relied...

    20 8MP cams for 30 days

    Nope. Some of that's the service warranty which is same day dispatch... Think that was around 14k... But the rest of it was all high availability, dedupe, dual 40gbe,62.5% storage efficiency. Mind you this goes beyond raid 6... Yeah and I know you can get a Dell cheaper. I looked and got...

    Upgrading Camera Question for new (newbie) setup

    Got the cam (1 of 2); the 2nd is still in shipment, I waited too long to add it into the order. Immediately after I placed my first order they sent me a message asking (reminding) me that it was the Chinese New Year and they were on Holiday, and then apologized profusely for the delay that would...

    FYI - Black Friday deals from Lorex ( Dahua OEM )

    Do you know of or could you point me to sample video? I must be an idiot or my google-fu has failed me repeatedly. There's just a few videos out there, all from Lorex. And trying to match what might be firmware crippled (Flir is known for that) is practically impossible without a forensic...
