athomas61 0 Posted April 29, 2015 Let me start by saying I know typically an attic may be way too hot/cold and dusty for an NVR. However, our home has foam insulation (above you in the attic) and is a sealed climate controlled environment. There is no insulation below your feet. Since all the wires would be run in the attic anyway is there any reason not to put the NVR up there with all the cords from the cameras running to it, then 1 wire running down from the NVR into the computer room and into the router? On top of simplicity this also seems like it would add a nice bit of security, since it's a heck of a lot of work to figure out the NVR might be in the attic, find the attic access, find the NVR up there, and get out!! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that would destroy my nice new system, Thanks for your help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted April 30, 2015 No reason not to put it in attic just make sure you have the ability to remote in for all functions as tweaking stuff may be a bit of a chore when you are not physically at the NVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alanm 0 Posted June 1, 2015 Yeah. One really important one. HEAT! Attics can easily reach temps of 110 plus degrees (unless you're in Alaska or Antarctica). I would avoid attic placement at all costs. You'll end up having to replace your recorder at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
