Can this system operate 64 cameras or more at one time?

as much as the hardware you have can handle

Also can this software transfer video to an offsite location via over the internet? What I am trying to do is use this system for 63 cameras in 63 different locations. Locations such as Hawaii, Louisianna, Mississppi, Delaware, Utah, California, Nevada, and Tennesse. I need all of the video transfered to Virginia overnight. What all would I need to get this to work and also what would I need to have at each store location and here at the office in Virginia? If anyone can please help me out with some kind of answer that would be greatly appreciated.

you must check you inet canal for band
and have great hardware PC
fast HDD
more RAM (4G+)
min dual core cpu (recomeded AMD on serios load and not optimized code and raw data amd cool cpu - test amd vs xeon on server hardware)

Bandwidth's an early factor in this equation. What do/will the stores have connecting them to virginia?
I'm thinking if you've got one camera per store and a reasonable connection, you could use an IP cam at each location and have it stream directly to virginia where the zoneminder box would record them, but that assumes a decent pipe out of the stores and a much more decent pipe into virginia.
I've only got 20 on my biggest server (core 2 quad) working fine, but I recommend at least a quad core, probably something with a couple of them. And RAID. You can't have too many disks with video capture, and the more drives it's spread over, the faster it can read/write the images. Also the more space you have, the longer you can retain video.
Other important questions are resolution, frames per second, whether or not they need to be able to see in the dark. That's not the whole list, but it's a start.
