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.

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

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
