I might regret even asking this question but I'm gonna guess that some others might be curious as well.
So, GoPro cameras often run at 20 or even over 30 fps. (Some people target 60fps!) These being so common to consumers, I sometimes wonder if that type of expectation is brought into this IP camera forum. I wonder what the cost of a camera would be for a major manufacturer to create one that easily recorded that high. Of course, you'd need more computer horsepower and storage space on your system as well. I'm just wondering if there's a computer that could handle a dozen cameras running 40fps for example. Storage is possible as there's a lot of storage available albeit not exactly cheap. But still....the storage part I know could be done. To hopefully clarify, I'm guessing 12 cameras as those would be outside cameras or even inside where there's motion.
If someone wanted a system that recorded a dozen cameras, all at 30-40fps, all wired (obviously I'd expect), and all continuous recording (to ensure you never miss anything) then what would the setup be? I wonder how much that would cost in cameras and computer alone. The storage could vary all depending on how long you want to keep footage and networking could depend on the layout of the cameras, distances, etc so I'm not including that cost in the "dream system" I'm asking about. And while the type of camera could vary as well (fixed lens vs varifocal vs ptz, etc, etc), I'm just saying an "average camera to handle average coverage".
