I am looking for a safe configuration of system hardware and DVR cards to install Zone Minder on. If some stock brand names like Dell, HP etc are okay that will be fine. I would prefer those with 4 PCI slots and above.
Popular motherboards for self built systems too are okay.
In the case of the cards I would prefer 8 full rate channels, using a single card with support for 8 channels or 2 4port channels is preferred, rather than splitting a 4 port card to 8 channels.
If the cards can be much cheaper than the Ituner Spectra 8 that will be nice.
PS. Where can I buy decent dvr cards in the UK?
