My current NVR is a Dell box running windows 7 and Milestone. I'm happy with Milestone, but it seems like 24/7 recording of 4 5MP cameras is taxing the CPU to where playback on the NVR and remotely is unacceptably slow. When remotely viewing, the Hikvision Turret image is stuttering. Image to Grey screen to image.
I've looked at 3 options, but unsure of what to go with:
- Hikvision NVR with POE. Cheap, can put my own storage disks, but software is no good. Not intuitive. Difficult to get support
- Milestone Husky server. At least 3x the cost of Hikvision. Least expensive option only has 1TB storage and I can't add more. I want 4-8TB storage.
- Build another Milestone server. Difficult to maintain. Unsure of the best hardware to get. Any recs would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
