I want to create my own video server like camtrace… (using Zoneminder).
I would like to know what is the best hardware ( CPU, Motherboard, Hdisk, Ram…) for my project.
I will use 4 Axis IP cameras and I want to access to the recording video from the net.
Thank you
the best hardware for ZoneMinder
I have run 4 cameras on two capture cards (at 5 fps for each camera) on a Intel Celeron 2ghz with 512MB of RAM. This system was plenty fast.
Right now I'm running 6 cameras -- 2 of them are IP cameras, 4 are running off of 2 capture cards, all on a AMD 3000+ with 768MB of RAM. The 4 capture cameras run at 5 fps and the two IP cameras run between 5 and 20 fps. This system is plenty fast.
As long as your system will run Linux (I recommend Fedora Core 5) and you have decent disk space then you should be in good shape.
