Buying server to work as NVR

[hampz 0]

Hi everybody!

 

Since this is my first post I want to start by expressing my gratitude to this forum, it have helped me a lot! You guys rock.

 

Now I need more of your expert-advice.

 

I recently bought 6 hikvision DS-2CD2232-I5 to use at an smaller industrial facility.

So now i'm looking for something to act as a nvr which leads me to 2 questions.

 

1.

I want to have a server and not a standalone NVR.

I'm wondering what the recommended hardware specification for my setup is?

I want my server to handle up to 8 cameras, and some minor file-storing. The recording will probebly only be on during nightime.

Will the HP proliant N54L be powerfull enough to make my system run smooth? Ofcourse with an POE-switch

2.

Software- Give me some advice which to try out. I would prefer it to be free or at a low cost.

My demands are:

- Good working motion detection

- Easy to use

- Remote access preferbly full control

- IOS/android accesseble stream (preferbly app)

 

Let me know if you need more info!

 

Thanks in advance!

But what do you think the system requirements are?

The thing is that the Hp server I linked to is priceworthy in sweden. My question is if that server could handle up to 8 ip cameras? I dont want to "overbuy".
