    Hi there

    If it is not broken do not fix it. Ip cameras and NVRs are not PCs do not upgrade then. Unless there specific feature you need or a specific problem that needs to be fixed. You are more likely to break something or remove a feature you are using.

    How to setup storage for multiple hdd?

    Split the cameras between drives. Assign 1/2 the cameras to each drive. for example if you have 4 cameras at the front of the house put 2 on one drive and 2 on the other drive. So if a drive fails you still have some video on what's going on.

    CPU & Memory maxed out

    Set the cameras to a maximum frame rate for 15. Set the Iframe interval to 15, so there is one Iframe per second. For the sub frames set the frame rate and iframe interval to match the main frame. These changes are made in each of the cameras, NOT in BI.

    Could you give some advice, please?( Should I switch to a different CPU?)

    You do not need to change the CPU to support 4K. You will need 4K monitors to view the output. As directed use substreams . Record all cameras continuously. You may have problems with the RAID5 not being able to records all the streams. I use to use RAID 5 until I tried to do a failed disk...

    Is this statement true ?

    for every proposed camera location pull at least two cables. You will be adding more cameras in the future or you may have bad cables and need to swap. Do not mount the cameras over 7 ft up if you expect to ID the bad guy.
