Ballistic 0 Posted May 9, 2015 Right now im using Raspberry PIs via RTSP Streams, but they can only handle about 1 HD and 3 SD, trying 2 or more will crash the device because its just doesn't have enough power for it.. Is there anything good out there thats not crazy expensive that can stream 4 HD streams? Raspberry pis are under 50 bucks thats why i like them.. Dont really want a big chunk of hardware, i have used the intel nucs to achieve this but was hoping for something cheaper, when i plan to have more than just a couple deployed..

Buy hik NVR Why buy 3 hik 3mp cameras and then try to run on cheap Don't think your going to get many replies .......around $50 budget is just not worth typing about. Ill look into the Hik NVRs. I love the 3MP cameras, im just trying to get some camera screens in a few peoples offices so when they need to let someone in at the gate they can see, i dont want them having to have a Qnap account on my QVR and using more bandwidth on that vlan, all the cameras are on a different vlan so streaming directly from the cameras is a better option i feel. its not limited to the 50 dollar budget im open to spending 100-150ish with some wiggle room.. i just don't want to be buying 300 dollar boxes for each office or something.. Spent a ton on this setup already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
