    Attic switch recommendation?

    I have a Netgear M4100-D10-POE in my garage for pretty similar reasons. Powers two POE cameras and links a Pi and UniFi AC AP up. No issues so far with the hot summers (100F out today, been in service about two years. On-board sensor says it's running at 114F currently). Operational temperature...

    Which cloud solution for internal hosting?

    Exactly what klank said. We utilize both of those internally for the same reasons.

    Which cloud solution for internal hosting?

    What functions do you need to manage on them? Just remote access or something else?

    Freenas chassis?

    1. Not really, the 120mm fans are pretty quiet (at least compared to anything else in my rack) to my ears. 2. Stock fans, no mods to the chassis. 3. Zipties and running the cables neatly as possible, that's pretty much it.

    Freenas chassis?

    It's a Sun Microsystems StorEdge 38U rack. Has a decent amount of room in the front door for anything that isn't flush with the rack front. If you have one that has adjustable front rails, then it would be trivial to set them back a bit and fit the handles if the door wasn't able to close fully...

    Freenas chassis?

    Have this chassis as well, fits perfectly in my rack without removing the handles (38U).

    T1 Phsyical Layer Question

    Chances are the 56K was a backup method for getting into the router if the T1 is down. We used to do something similar for our remote sites when I worked for a local datacenter. If the main link was down, we could still get into the routers and see why and troubleshoot.

    Wireline IP Cameras

    Something like this? http://overseas.hikvision.com/us/Products_accessries_10531_i8708.html They can be run with a single network drop for both network and power and can record directly to a CIFS/SMB share if you don't want to use some kind of DVR software. You'd need to have something that...

    Finalizing my new home build - Need a switch

    Typically these days I strictly look toward Hikvision cameras, specifically the DS-2CD2132 in that price range or the DS-2CD2032F if I need something a bit more spot specific. Prices are very reasonable and the picture quality is very impressive. They also make a line of 2MP and 4MP versions as...

    UPS install

    If you're not comfortable running a 220V line from your circuit box to it, then yeah you'll need an electrician if you want to get that up and running. Looks like a standard two hot, one neutral and ground. You'll need a serious breaker (50A or 100A, depending on your load you're going to put on...

    Newbe needs router help

    I could be wrong, but I think most of that was due to flaky USB sticks they were using internally.

    Wanting to experiment, radius server at home...anybody try?

    It's a good project since quite a few enterprise-type things utilize RADIUS. I run a RADIUS server on my 2012 R2 DC at home for a few services, primarily for one of the UniFi SSID's and for TACACS to authenticate against on the switches/routers. For me, PROS: Single authentication source...

    Wall mounting router

    For light devices I'll typically use those (or the compression-type plastic fittings, don't really care for those tho). For heavier equipment, toggle bolts and if there's a stud available, screws into that.

    Xfinity modem.. Which one?

    I've been running a ARRIS/Motorola SB6141 for a while with them now, no complaints. Easily handles the 150Mb service I have (usually peaks around ~170Mb). Pretty sure there's an upgraded model out now that would probably be worth looking into as well.

    What to look for in a projector?

    I've been out of the loop for awhile after getting my most recent projector a few years ago, but I'd be considering the following if I was in the market these days: - 1080P resolution, no point going any lower these days. - Check your mounting options. Can you move the projector around or...
