bdm 0 Posted June 15, 2014 I'm planning to build my own security system with the following components: -8 IP - POE cameras (4 bullets & 4 ptz dome) -A dedicated computer as the NVR, something with respectable specs... (i7 quad core, 8-16gb Ram, 4TB HD, Gibabit Ethernet Port). -An external POE switch -Luxriot VMS or similiar open software Ultimate objective I guess would be to have a reliable expandable system, that can store up to 2 months of surveillance. Am I missing any critical Hardware? Can this system handle 1080p video? If I increase the number of cameras, what parts of the system do I need to scale (i.e. more ram, memory, 10gb ethernet card?)?? thanks for the advice!

AlexJ 0 Posted June 26, 2014 I have big doubts that 4 TB storage will last for 2 months, a specially with your plans to use Full HD. Otherwise seems legit. As per hardware spec's, Luxriot offers online calculator that can help you with optimal server requirements: http://www.luxriot.com/eng/support/calculators/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
