spadjen 0 Posted April 29, 2013 Just wanted to see what others come across when trying to secure there PC NVR server from physical theft. some of those cable locks look flimsy. enclosures can be hot or expensive. I have seen some screwed to the floor or had a thick cable through the case..lol. but whatever works. Maybe a dummy PC that has a big sign on it that says surveillance system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted April 30, 2013 Having a "bait" computer doesn't hurt. Something cheap and visible with even just an IE window open showing one of the cams maybe. Have the real one tucked somewhere out of the way if the location is big enough. Possibly use a NAS or edge storage of some kind so that there's still a copy of the data around even if they do end up finding and stealing the real NVR. I'd also make a cage and bolt it down.

spadjen 0 Posted April 30, 2013 I was going to ask that. Can u record the same stream to 2 diffrent hdd / locations at the same time. Maybe just the substream tobthe 2 location? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted April 30, 2013 Depends on what the cameras support. My Axis cams support two different kinds of edge storage, so I can store a copy (say continuous recording) on a NAS tucked someplace hard to find, another copy (say motion recordings) on a 64gig card in each camera, plus on an internal HD in the NVR computer. I even think I've unintentionally had two different computers running NVR software monitoring/recording the same motion events when I was testing programs on two different computers. Not sure what other cameras are capable of but ftp backup seems popular on cams that don't do edge storage. I'm sure there are other ways and combinations to do it as well. YMMV.
