Hi, I'm looking to do my own "NVR/DVR" with remote access, local storage (3 days of file, recording 24h/day) and cloud storage (1-2 days of file, only important events). The ZoneMinder came to my notice and I have doubt about the power of PC that I will need.
I'm aiming in a 1 or 2 IP cameras at 1080p with 14-20fps setup.
Does a old PC with i5-2400 and 8gb of RAM, without dedicated graphics card, is cappable to run this setup running ZoneMinder in Linux Ubuntu?
Are this configuration good?
Re: Are this configuration good?
Ok, I don't need answers more guys, looking in a post, someone have cited "hardware recommendations" at Wiki site, so I looked in there and that say "For 1-4 cameras, you can use a core 2 duo or better CPU.".
Re: Are this configuration good?
Use passthrough, and then set the resolution to be lower than the actual camera resolution, otherwise you could possibly run into trouble with a high enough FPS if you try to mocord or modect on the high res stream.

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
