  1. Advice on configuration is appreciated. 1) Does anyone have a resource were sample images of best quality possible for Analog Camera to DVR? I am looking for sample images for DVR recording from analog cameras, with the highest resolution attainable, and the best quality compression attainable. That is how I found this forum. Lots of examples of IP cameras & Systems, but not so many from analog camera to DVR. 2) Here is my configuration so far, and pricing, that adds up to around $3,500 including cabling. Please give me all your feedback. CameraA: http://www.samsung-security.com/products/security-cameras/analog-cameras/fixed-domes/SCV-2080R.aspx CameraB: http://www.samsung-security.com/SAMSUNG/upload/Product_Specifications/SCB-2001-Specifications.pdf DVR SpecSheet: http://www.samsung-security.com/products/security-cameras/analog-cameras/fixed-domes/SCV-2080R.aspx DVR WebPage: http://www.samsung-security.com/products/video-recording-and-management/dvr/8-channel/SRD-850DC.aspx Monitor: http://www.samsung-security.com/products/lcd-monitors/lcd-monitors/19-inch-lcd-monitors/SMT-1922.aspx LensA: http://www.samsung-security.com/products/camera-lenses/vari-focal-lenses/SLA-2810D.aspx LensB: http://www.samsung-security.com/products/camera-lenses/vari-focal-lenses/SLA-550DA.aspx All pricing add up to around $3,500 for 8 cameras and lenses (combination of 4 box cameras and housings and 4 lenses, plus 4 dome-cameras-including-lenses), DVR, Power Panel, and siamese-cabling. 3) Is it true that the highest resolution possible, of still image captured and exported from any available DVR is 704x480? 4) At max resolution, what variables will give best still image quality? Compression algorithm used? Other? 5) What questions are I not asking that I should be asking, to get the highest resolution and quality of still image from a video security system under $5,000? With thanks, Duane

    Reliability of HDD vs Solid State

    Personally, I will never buy another computer whose OS is running on anything other than SSD. I recently re-built an older Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, using one of these SSD's designed for pre-2006 computers. The laptop is now AMAZINGLY fast. But the REAL reason I use SSD's is reliability. MeanTimeBetweenFailure: 2,000,000hrs That is over 200 years!!! Compare THAT to ANY ENTERPRISE level drive!!! They also have solved the read/write lifetime performance decline that plagued previous SSD's
