    Ok PC for 20 camera setup?

    ok, thanks. I'll keep my eyes out. Based on the cliff notes, I had thought I'd need more than one storage HDD for eight days of 24x7 video from 20 2MP cameras.

    Ok PC for 20 camera setup?

    Will be installing a camera system in our food bank with 15-20 cameras. Have read the wiki on PCs for BlueIris and looked at some forum posts, plus have BlueIris running at our thrift shop (4 IPC-HDW5231R-Z cameras, Dell i5-4400). (It's running ~70% so I suspect it may not be configured...

    Is this ok for temp solution?

    That's just what I was hoping. Had leaned to Costco solution only due to speed of getting and being all put together.

    Is this ok for temp solution?

    Please bear with me. Volunteer at a food bank. Two sites: food bank with an existing building and new building under construction (ready July?), affiliated thrift shop in a strip mall. Existing food bank has 16-channel ARCVision system; nothing at thrift shop. Earlier asked to expand food...

    Looking forward to Learning

    Yep, downloaded the cliff notes and have them up on my computer. Working to figure out what needs to be seen/recorded in each desired camera location (e.g., deter or identify those cutting our vehicles' fuel lines to siphon the gas; also to stop shoplifters at the thrift shop). Will definitely...
