I use a Thecus N8900 and it works pretty good.

That doesn't look too bad but only 20w a channel is kind of low.

8 zones. Normally only one source at a time the odd time 2. Right now we go to the wall turn the zone on then use the Sonos Android app, phone and tablet, to control it. If there was an easy way to control everything from the wall that would be ideal in a few zones. With Nuvo you have to buy...

My whole house amp is starting to die, guess it's a common problem with these Speakercraft units and have to replace each of the amp boards at about $170 each. I already have one Sonos connect that was plugged into the Speakercraft so I was thinking maybe just get a standard 16 channel amp and...

I'd rather get 2 good IP cameras for your budget than analog.

Look at the software you want to use, most of them support a lot of different cameras and even have a generic mode so you can add pretty much any camera. I use Luxriot. For my old analogue cameras I bought a Samsung SPE400 4CH H.264 Network Video Encoder.

I'm pretty happy with my Stardot SDH500VN. Pretty expensive camera though. One of the things I also liked about them living in Canada is they are good to -40 without a heater. For best performance at night you'll want to add IR, but get a separate emitter not built into the camera.

My sone was playing with the light switch, US11-40, and now it won't go all the way off it stays at a dimmed level. I tried reseting it to factory defaults but nothing. Any ideas? Thanks

I know it doesn't meet you requirements but I used a Panasonic WV-CP484. Can't see in total darkness but does really well in low light. Also put in a Louroe mic. http://my.webpix.ca/d/199-2/temp+005.jpg http://my.webpix.ca/d/202-2/temp+006.jpg

The panny WV-NW474S are the only ones I found that the heater was run off the PoE, most require another power source to run the heater. There are few cameras that claim they don't need a heater like mobotix and stardot as well. I just bought a stardot I'll be testing out...

Nevo S70 with CQC http://www.vidabox.com/products_vs70.php It's ok but battery life isn't the best.

It would be in the basement pretty much directly below the door. Hopefully there is enough range.

Has anyone tried both of these? Which one was better? If I don't have any other Zwave stuff can I just get the lock and one of these Aeon Z-Stick S2 things and that's it or do I need anything else? Thanks

I run my own with Exim and Dovecot.
