I've been given the opportunity to upgrade our current surveillance system, and was looking for some help with camera locations. Here is our current office layout and camera placement (note...first time poster, so I could not post the actual link; just copy and paste and remove the space before the com): i258.photobucket. com/albums/hh257/brytonic/Floorplan.gif We currently have 6 cameras; one pointed at each exit to the suite, and one in our server room. You can see these in the picture, representated by the triangles pointed in the direction that they face. All of the cameras have a pretty narrow field of view (but will probably be replaced with better cameras anyway). We would like to have more visability within the suite, to see what is going on in the case of unauthorized visitors or a break-in. The cubicle partitions are all 6' tall, and the ceilings are 10' tall. Standing on a filing cabinet, and getting my head to the ceiling, I have pretty good visibility over the cubicles. The areas in yellow are open area within the suite, while the areas in pink are hard-walled spaces (offices, conf. rooms, break room). The exterior walls are all floor to ceiling windows. The building is fairly new, and has 24/7 emergency lighting, so the interior of the suite stays pretty well lit even at night. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a NV6000E, and am using their NV DVR software for recording. Is there a way to set a max disk space used parameter in the software; i.e. I only want the DVR to use 200GB max on the hard drive. I know I could do this by creating another partition on the drive, and setting the record folder to that partition, but I thought the software might be able to do it instead.

I tried 67c the other day, and had the same issue. I ended up reinstalling an older version. I've tried installing the latest drivers for just about every hardware device on my system, without luck.

Nice. This solved my problem too. I figured you just needed to set up the motion recording, and never thought you needed to hit the record button after it was set up. Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure if the Sprite hard drive replacement is the same as the Eco 4, but I replaced the drive in an Eco 4 for my father-in-law, and it was VERY easy. I wrote up the instructions over at Cocoontech. (new user, and I can't post a link yet). Just do a search for Eco4, and you should find the step-by-step as the 2nd one down in the search results.
