i surf, do you tube, email, and run 18 camera's with this rig. ( mostly just BI) but I can log onto IPcamtalk and see whats up..LOL
Found this one for just over $600: OptiPlex 5060 I7-8700, 32 GB, 512 GB SSD, Radeon RX 550 4GB graphics.
Dell OptiPlex 5060 SFF, i7-8700 6-core, 32GB DDR4, 512GB NVME SSD, Radeon RX 550 | eBay
I’m assuming the graphics card is a plus, but the tutorial posted about BI machines says a non-intel graphics card may cause problems? “Onboard Intel graphics are more than enough. In fact, it can sometimes be complicated getting Quick Sync hardware acceleration to work if you have installed a dedicated graphics card.”
The main purpose of the surveillance system is to monitor boat traffic. Not sure how
blue iris does with detecting boats, but deepstack apparently recognizes them. Still learning, but looks like a better graphics card is beneficial w/ DS?
Regarding performance, how does the above PC compare to the HP EliteDesk 800 w/ I5-8500 and the Optiplex 5060 w/ I7-8700 you linked to?
I noticed the optiplex 5060 you posted says it has 32 GB RAM, but the item details says 16. Also 256 GB SSD vs 512 in the slightly more expensive one I found. Asked seller about RAM, waiting for reply.
