Ok here's the real BI mess. I'm waiting to change out the nightowl/Costco recorder, with the BI friendly
Amcrest XVR at work. I have purchsed an Amcrest series 4 POE to upgrade the remote garage. Along with 2 Andy cams, and a 5231 z-12.
So the Amcrest
doorbell is the only thing on BI. I do use my home licensed machine to learn stuff. The Rack at work is more of an industrial setup. no points for being pretty on that.
This Optiplex might be enough for starters. 9020 MT 32GB Ram, Intel SSD, WD Blue 6TB.
but its my main home machine. I have 2 other optiplex sff i could dedicate to BI.
