Home Security & Surveillance

Wired and Wireless Network Surveillance Cameras, Networking Equipment, and more!

A ton of equipment for DIY home security and surveillance system. Pair with BlueIris software ($59 for full version license, http://blueirissoftware.com), Windows PC only. All of the equipment in this collection has been tested with and compatible with BlueIris.

For the PC, any Windows PC will do, but the key specs you'll want to optimize is CPU speed, number of cores (more the better), RAM (more the better). Fast hard drive (SSD) is also good. A decent price-point would be $750-1000 Dell PC. Probably cheaper/better parts if you built your own, just less convenient. Recommend Logical Increments (http://www.logicalincrements.com) as a guide if building your own PC.

If you're already getting a rack and need a new PC, I'd highly recommend getting a rack PC server, because while you can do some light multi-tasking on the PC, it's best to just let it exclusively record video footage to prevent any potential interruption.

BlueIris software is most excellent, highly regarded and reviewed, and its maintainer is very responsive.
