    Alarm.com Cameras

    No, I don't have any. Church got quote from them. I'm an outsider trying to evaluate quote. Without knowing anything about Alarm.com, I'm suspicious of company specifying system and selling proprietary equipment. It's like getting financial advice from a company that sells different types of...

    Anyone know who makes their cameras? Couldn't find anything here or with Google. (They're not for me.)

    Using the storage calc under tools (Calculating Required Hard Drive Size) for 4 MP (2560 x 1440) camera, both FPS=20 and FPS=30 shows 54 GB/sec. This seems like a bug. Using a 8 MP camera and those two FPS yields two different storage values as expected. I didn't check other cameras/resolutions.

    Thanks so much. I was thinking is there a list of contractors/companies that would spec and install everything? Seems like the choice is do it our self (and buy from Andy; maybe electrical contractor to pull hard to get at wires) or have company do everything. Ah, that's neat about substreams...

    Background: Church is getting bids for security cameras. I need to learn more details but concerned a "VW Beetle" (no offensive to you lovers out there!) may be installed at the price of a Ferrari. I've read older church threads. Is there a list of good security companies (besides Andy)...

    Newbie that's been reading here a lot. Have few questions: 1. I understand two NICs are needed for BI PC: One connected to router and one to PoE switch with cameras. How do you get two NICs into SFF PC (HP EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF Intel Core i5-10500) like below...
