Chimp 0 Posted February 17, 2010 Hi all, Hoping to draw on the collective knowledge. I’ve had a NV5000 for a couple of years now. 4 analogue (pal) Cam setup, however my computer that I was running it on has died pretty badly now. So I’m looking to build a new system to have 2 main functions. Act as a NAS device and a DVR. I like to record in 25fps on each cam and at 720x480 Although I appreciate this isn’t what it is intended to do. From reading many posts on here, am I correct in believing the card isn’t capable of maintaining a full 25fps for each of the 4 cams at this resolution? Or is it due to the system specs? On my old system, the fps were definitely not 25fps. But I wasn’t sure if this was due to a lack of raw CPU power. I’m looking for some guidance in terms of a recommendation for hardware specs. What sort of processor/motherboard should I be looking at that can handle this? I’ve looked at the avermedia recommended hardware list but its so old and out of date. Basically I’m building this system, from scratch. I intend to have one hard drive as my C drive, a second very large drive for my DVR recordings and a third large drive for my NAS (mainly media files). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
