How robust of a computer do I need to support 8-IPC-HDW5631R-ZE?

If you struggle with reading the Many answers to your question on the forum, you will not be able to support your system. Help yourself, help yourself and read the already posted answers. There is lots of info out there.

Use the "wiki" link at the top of the main BI thread page, Blue Iris Lots of good, concise, info there. Then watch the tutorials on BI, one of the top threads on that same page. The time you spend reading and watching will more than be worthwhile.

Well....my thoughts are this: build the best computer you can afford.
Also, look at things initially that are harder to upgrade, not cost effective, I.E. motherboard and CPU.
You can build a very nice system to handle everything you need pretty cheaply, if you scavenge parts from other computers.
For example: use an old case and power supply, used DVD drive, and put a new MB, CPU, Ram, and SSD in it for cheap...then worry about buying storage drives for your video. Craigslist is packed with great stuff to reuse for really good prices. Old gaming desktops usually have primo parts, and can be bought for next to nothing.

Thanks for the advise! I grabbed a refurbished Dell Optiplex with i7 6700... from what I’m reading it should be more than enough to handle what I am going for.
