As I rely more on my home lab server, I’m starting to worry more about it getting stolen. If someone breaks into my home, I think the server will be a pretty attractive target.

Do y’all just stick it in a closet? That seems not great for cooling…

One of my neighbors recently got broken into.

    All a kensington lock does is cause a bit of damage so a potential buyer can tell that the equipment was stolen.

    A thief will likely want to steal or destroy the DVR, so make sure it’s well hidden or locked inside a proper safe.

      I’m guessing they can rip the other end of the lock out of the wall tbh.

      But realistically, theifs aren’t that sophisticated, they aren’t going to waste time trying to find and destroy the DVR, the will grab whatever valuables they can carry and pawn and leave as fast as possible.

      The cameras are really just a deterant, they will move on to an easier house instead of risking it with mine.
