what-da 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Hi guy just wondering if anyone used HP ProLiant Gen8 Microserver with Milestone. And if so how well does it work and what was its limitation. Was thinking to use for small installations. Any opinions welcomed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted August 22, 2013 XProtect is pretty efficient, especially if you use name brand cameras it recognizes lies Axis, ACTi and such. I have it running with 6 cameras, 3 ONVIF and 3 ACTi, mix of 3MP, 2MP and 1MP on a very similar speed processor, the 1st gen i3-540 and I'm seeing 7-10% CPU as a server doing motion detection and recording. When you hit from a smartphone app or remote client, it can jump up to 80-90% but it didn't impact recordings or it's use. For about the same money, I would look for a PC with current gen i5. That would have a benchmark rating 3x what you are looking at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Whatever you decide to select as your server, ensure that you have the proper security settings/software that still allow remote access, but will prevent server compromise. My server was comprised a few weeks after it was installed. Have no idea how it happened... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
