Hardware sufficient for 7 Cameras?

Hello

I am relatively new to Zoneminder and between beginner and semi in Linux.

I currently have 7 cameras (4x Reolink 410 with 2560x1920 and 3x Sricam with 1280x720) running on an old Dell Studio XPS 8100 (i5@3.2Mhz with 16GB Ram) on a Debian system with Docker (dlandon-Image), currently without hooks, event notification, etc.

Before I go deeper into the matter: is it basically possible with this hardware combination to save all camera streams at the same time, receive notifications with facial/plate recognition and also work smoothly to check the Events?

Thanks

Going to depend upon FPS / analysis settings.

You can try to add things, and scale back FPS / resolution as needed.

These systems are flexible.

Edit:
Also see about low res modect to save CPU.
