Milestone, free for up to 8 cameras and is one of the best software on the market.
 
Edit:
Make sure the cameras you want actually work with it, do a search to see if people have tried them and also check their supported list.

You won't see any advantages from your laptop but link aggregation would allow you to saturate gigabit connections to two clients at the same time. Even if a client had two gigabit adapters, you would only see gigabit throughput from the NAS to a client. If you do want to do it you would need a managed (smart) switch that supports link aggregation. Netgear makes them.

Took me too long to realise that "homeland security" is your ssid...

To address all the people saying stuff about your cable, including the suggestion to try a cat6 cable: Look at your NIC in the Network and Sharing Center - if it says 1Gbps then you are not being limited by your cable, computer, etc. if the cable is not capable of 1Gbps, then the computer will show 100Mbps, and will not be able to receive or send at faster than that. There is no level between 1Gb and 100Mb - it either works at gigabit or it doesn't. Since you get speeds greater than 100Mb, your computer and cable are fine I assume that so far you have been testing with speedtest.net? Lots of the speedtest.net servers are not capable of 1Gbps speeds for each individual test - they may only have 1Gbps available in total, with lots of users testing at all times. Try a speedtest from dslreports.com, which uses up to 32 connections to multiple servers at the same time. Whatever speed you get here is representative of your total bandwidth, whereas other tests only show what a single connection is capable of What model is your router? Does the fiber connect directly to it, or (more likely) is there an ONT? (ONT = Optical Network Terminator, which is the equivalent of a modem) If there is a seperate ONT, does the ethernet connect directly from it to your router, or is there anything else in between? Is there a single fiber (and ONT) for the whole building, or a seperate fiber for each apartment, each with their own ONT? Is the 1Gbps plan for the whole house, or just your apartment?

Depends on the ISP and the type of equipment they have on the other end. If it's standard 1000Base-X, 1000Base-SX, or 1000Nase-LX then you can probably use an SFP. But many ISPs use a non-standard system because they carry both ethernet, telephone, and QAM (encrypted digital video) traffic on the same fiber but in different methods, that have to be seperated out by the ONT. Verizon FIOS works this way.

I use a Pentium g4400 on Ubuntu server with samba and get full 10gb speeds. Of course Linus had issues because Linus is Linus

That's fine but you just have to understand that this hardware is not meant to connect things together in a LAN. It is for storage only. That means only for connecting PC's to a "NAS" in a dedicated network that runs parallel to a LAN

This is a SAN switch meant to be used with fibre channel adapters and provide NFS/iSCSI like storage to servers through a dedicated storage network. it's not meant to form a LAN like an Ethernet switch (which could also use fiber connections). Are you certain that's what you really want?

best and TP-LInk in one sentence dont really work out mate, those antennas alone basicly are a recipe for disaster.
 
EDIT: also, that's wireless N, 2009 called, they want their wifi back.

Not a good idea. Rubbing alcohol and hydrogen both work to disinfect wounds but the hydrogen peroxide you can get in stores is 97% water so it won't do anything.

You shloud be able to find that out with HWiNFO: https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php Also found this adapter for 4 Canadian pesos if you decide to do it: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SATA-2nd-HDD-SSD-Hard-Drive-Caddy-for-12-7mm-CD-DVD-ROM-Optical-Bay-Laptop-PAT-C-/162132683510?hash=item25bfdc6af6

If your main PC is the one in the signature it only has one adapter so you can't do p2p. It can be a hassle to set up because of DHCP and I have a feeling it might be out of your league and definetly harder than driving to the store and getting a patch cable.

Puget Systems wrote a cool publication showing the kinds of failure rates they saw in the equipment they sold in 2016:
https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Most-Reliable-PC-Hardware-of-2016-872/
They say motherboards have some of the highest failure rates because of their complexity. Hard drives (of course) and video cards also have very high failure rates. ECC ram and Xeon processors stand out as being quite significantly more reliable than the variants sold to consumers.
