Need advice on a Pelco DX7000 DVR

[Ronald.Goolcharan 0]

Good day to everyone,

 

I have recently acquired a Pelco DX7000 DVR (Just sitting outside in my storage room, haven't powered it up or opened the lid, just gotta get a key to open it later)

 

My question(s) is this:-

 

1. Do I have to source the recovery disk from Pelco (I have seen post where someone stated that you can use the DX7100 recovery ISO from the Pelco FTP site)?

 

2. As the system stands, can I upgrade?

 

3. If yes to the above, what would you all recommend when upgrading the system, i.e Motherboard, RAM, HDD (any particular brand) etc?

 

 

Any other advice you all want to recommend, please go right ahead.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Ronald
