Unfortunately not going to happen.  Although I am hoping to secure the DVR
somehow from simply being stolen (or hopefully even found), but that will
have to wait to see what options I have.

There is some small chance that the DVR could end up in the secure room as
well, but we'd have to find a solution for the monitor, keyboard and mouse
cables.  I know there are KVM switches that can be connected by Cat5, as one
of our customers had his IT guy install one for his DVR.  It would only be
about 40 feet of wire to run between the DVR and the demo area.
