From what I can gather all the multichannel DVR's are basically cheap-nasty PC's and all made in the Far-East, so you cant escape the "sam-tam" instructions.

With the Sony Camera's (excluding the "fabrique en chine" sticker on the base), they've clearly had someone who reads, writes and speaks English translate the instructions - which is overkill as it's basically:
* drill 3 holes
* insert 3 rawl plugs
* tighten 3 security screws
* plug in pre-made cable
- your typical IKEA stick-man and 2 panels would have done

16 cameras per zone, 1600*1200 res, 480fps (ie. 25 per camera), multiple interior and exterior zones, 3 months storage, option to archive indefinitely, number plate and facial recognition quality ...

Only things I can't have from my original spec. are the operational turrents/gun towers and the fully working and loaded tank - Tower Hamlets council wont grant a parking permit for the tank

Wasn't meant to be - no offence intended - but edited anyway...

They've got the ground floor at Reynolds house, which AFAIK has their own UPS and air-con, only the gensets are shared with the other tenants in the rest of the building (IFL and Manchester Uni?).
Turing house across the road is entirely there's though AFAIK.

Yep that's right, we're on a long-term lease for space directly with the landlord, just like IFL and the Uni. Generator is shared between tenants.

Again at Turing we're on a long lease with the landlord, but the difference there is we've put all the infra in ourselves.
