I have a q-see system I bought from costco over a year ago. I read reviews and researched it before I bought it. I was expecting fan noise just by the reviews but it came highly recommended here. The first night I could here the fan noise but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I decide to live with it but for the past couple of months the noise is getting worse. At this point the noise is ridiculously loud. it sound like the fan is off axis or a bearing is damage. I would like to know if the noise is from the psu fan, case fan or is it the hdd?

if I decide to go with a bundle the I would go with this http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Channel-HD-NVR-Security-System-with-3TB-HDD-and-8-4MP-HD-IP-Cameras.product.100213199.html. Its $1700 now but it was on sale couples months ago for $1300

I just finish relocating my old analog system. It was a lot of work running all the cables to the dvr. My next install with the nvr I am considering going with a poe switch which will making the wiring much easier and neater. I was trying to stay away from a separate poe switch because I felt it would make the system more complex. I was looking for a plug and play. I don't plan to tinker with the system much. I read a lot about the noisy fan with the built in poe switch model. Where can I find a step by step instruction of setting up a nvr with a separate poe switch? would this instruction be in the box with the nvr? I plan to go with the hikvision 7600 series nvr with the 3mp cameras since the 4mp is not widely available as yet.

I also found a ds-2cd2042wd-i 4mp english version for $150 at ali. can you point me to some US stores? I will also consider getting this bundle from costco and just call it a day Q-See 16 Channel HD NVR Security System with 3TB HDD and 8 4MP HD IP Cameras Item #559497. I read somewhere that q-see was the same hardware as hikvision or dahua

sorry for the late response but I was looking for a email saying i have a response to my post. I will continue researching for better cameras.

I did months of research and this is what I came up with. I am mainly looking for plug and play. I plan to order 8 cameras and a 4gb wd hdd. I install analog system in the past. This will be my first nvr installation. I would appreciate any comments. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121619606143?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com/itm/131197607595?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT If there is a better configuration please let me know.
