need backup / redundancy for 80 camera system

[lkyoldsun 0]

summary:

according to calculator, will need 40TB for 30fps or 10TB for 7fps.

 

Assuming there is already a server for running the point of sale, do I need a dedicated server for the video backup storage? If so, about what specs?

What brand/model hard drives do you suggest?

What kind of hard drive rack enclosure do you suggest?

 

details:

 

I've done consumer IT and video but never enterprise, so this is foreign to me.

 

With price being a major factor, what do you suggest I use for backup/redundancy. Doesn't have to be offsite, can be in the same rack (As is the case with our other stores' systems)

 

rack mounted dahua dvrs for a total of 80 cams, 60 days storage, with about 16 hr a day recording

 

Director of IT wants me to give two proposals, one at 30fps one at 7fps. Realisticaly, will be having some cams 30fps (cash registers) and most others at 7fps

 

 

thanks for the help.
