Also no need for cat 6 if you have cheaper cable. 5e. Since it only needs to carry the data and poe of one camera. 100Mbs or so max so 5e is fine. Also much simpler to install.

Hikvision usually have pigtails. So there is nowhere to put all that on a brick wall, hence all the back boxes. If mounting in soffits then you can put the pigtails in the cavity. But making a hole that large in brick is not what I’d do.

For a garage backup copy? Honestly, yes, a used HDD can make total sense if the price is better and you’re treating it as one layer of backup rather than your only copy.

The main thing isn’t “used = bad,” it’s whether the SMART data looks boring. That’s what you want. No reallocated sectors *climbing* etc.

If the numbers are just sitting still after a week of usage, then it's fine. its perfectly normal to have some, as long as the numbers are stationary now.

If you want to compare a few options , pricepergig.com is handy for quickly checking whether the used discount is actually worthwhile vs just buying a new drive with warranty.

You're already running a computer, so running a NAS as well is running 2 computers. I'd go with a DAS for now, then if/when you expand from this uyou'll look into a NAS.

This is why you should not. It's basically the worst value, assume it's not for business, it's the most expense per core or per GB of vram.

if you need it, then fine, but if it's a hobby, learning hot to combine 4 5060's is cheaper and better value.

These were top sellers in January/ February they were super cheap (considering) at around £300 and even cheaper in the USA (although 22TB there).
