Perhaps I don't understand something here. Isn't 30fps full motion video (okay, ntsc 29.97...etc.)? Why wouldn't I want to have that? Resources not being an issue... (I7-8700k liquid cooled, 32GB ram, 250gb nvme for OS/apps, 6tb raid 0 for data), and it is not even overclocked.
yes, it is overkill for just BI, but I have other things planned to run on this.
All cameras set to 20mb buffer with continuous recording and motion detection, high resolution alerts. Again, I am NOT concerned about RAM, CPU or Disk usage. Right now with only 2 IPC-HDW5231R-ZE cameras, cpu is <6%, RAM <1GB.
Both running at VBR, 30fps/1.00fps, h.264, no bi overlays. And if usage goes up even further, No big deal in my books.
