I have installed a number of all-in-one systems in the past, as well as a few I5 systems with GeniusVision. MY problem with all in one systems is the reduced resolutions with the additional cameras. Some saying 4x1080 cameras when it can really only have 1 cam at 1080 and the other 3 are 720. If this still an issue or are new systems more capable now?
I have the opportunity to bid on a project. Calls for 20-24 cameras at 3 or 4mp, 10-15fps. Cams would probably be Hikvisions/Dahuas/ or whatever are mostly recommended here.
I was pricing an i7-7700 with 16gb rams, 128gb m.2 ssd for os, 2x 6tb or 8tb hdds for storage[possibly 4 for a raid1], dual intel nics, all in a rack mount case as per the clients request. A gigabit 24 port poe swith on one nic with the cameras and the other nic to the work network for viewing. I am familiar with direct-to-disk and the HW acceleration on the 7700.
Would this system handle those needs using BI?
Also could it handle motion detection on most if not all cams? Or 24/7 only. I know that's were those all in one systems can come out on top, allowing the camera to do the motion detection.
I was looking at refurbished servers with 6 core cpus; I really like the fact of redundant power supply, some already have LSI cards, easily accessible HDD's, multiple Intel nics already. But from what I have read here it, I understand an i7 build to be superior still.
One other question, would their be any benefit to using a SFP+ up-link with 10gig link to the switch, or would it not be necessary. Switch price doubles as most switches that fit the criteria and have SFP+ are 48p and not 24.
Looking forward to your responses, reading reply's on similar questions have already answered a lot of the questions I had. Thank you.
