Hi,
I have 9 cameras (2 MegaPixel IP) hardwired into a Netgear 48-port Gigabit switch. I can get 4 or 5 running on my old HP MediaSmart laptop, but when I launch all 9, the CPU shoots to 100% and BI freezes, then fails. From the forum, I know I need a newer/better/faster computer. But I need it to be a laptop, and all of the posts seem to be leaning toward the 4th gen i7 desktop/tower. Will the 4th gen i7-4510 work on a laptop? It says the processor speed is 2.0GHz, with a TurboBoost (whatever that is) up to 3.1.
If possible, I'd like this to be my general purpose home computer as well. I rarely run anything that's CPU- or memory-intensive, so the camera setup will be 90+% of the resource usage. (If that won't work, I could leave the HP as the home computer, but would prefer to consolidate.)
Finally, if this setup would work, any suggestions on how to set up the parameters (direct-to-disk, FPS, resolution, etc.)?
Any help is much appreciated.
