friend of mine wants to set up a cctv system (1 or 2 cameras on a house). Rather than use a time lapse recorder which tend to be unreliable I feel that using a PC / PVR to act as a time lapse system may be the better option. His current pc system is out of date (a slow celeron), and so would need replacing, the question is: Is it better to have a) one pc for general use and one pc for CCTV recording - and network them. If so what specs would people recommend for both systems? or b) One more powerful pc that can cope with recording cctv - and general use at the same time? Is so, what spec should this system be? General use is: Internet (cable) and Word - although he has just bought a digital camera!!!
