I've recently set up a small system using a PC with BI, and my first camera is an IPC-HDBW4631R-ZS (picked up for £60 through a Warehouse Deal.) I'm pretty happy with it, it covers an area that I'm most interested in motion detection both during the day and at night time.
I'd like to add a couple more - one to cover the front where I'm most interested in daytime image sharpness, and a second to cover the back where night vision and motion detection are the priorities.
For around £100 each are there any cameras the forum would recommend?
Second question, I really need to put together a PC to run as a server. I can't imagine I'll get beyond 4 cameras. I'm wondering what the minimum spec I'd need to run comfortably would be. I've currently got an AMD Phenom X4 955BE, 16GB DDR2 and a 650W PSU. Can I re-use some/all of that, chuck in a 64GB SSD and suitable HDD and be confident it'll hold up? Or should I build something from the ground up?
