Now that I have 5 Dahua 4300S series cameras up and running, I can see that additional computer horsepower is a definite plus. I'm still keeping the cameras at 3MP resolution, but have backed the frame rates down to 5/sec. I'm sometimes seeing "stalls" when recording events, resulting in time-gaps in the middle of an event clip. Since I'm running this in a Core i3 4330 desktop, I suspect it just can't keep up with the video streams (it's been great for most everything else, however).
As I've said elsewhere, I'm primarily looking for a Core i7 4790 (possibly 4770) system that should be easily able to handle some additional cameras as well. Unfortunately, deals are slow to appear and (so far) have been snagged before I could hit the [BUY] button.
My question... Are there high-end AMD systems that can handle the video as well or better than the Core i7 beasts? Any recommendations? I've been an Intel fan for decades, but am willing to consider the other side.
