is this hardware ok

[dohat leku]

folks - I'm going with a new system that will be 10 8MP cameras at 30FPS and need 30 days storage. Can you take a look at this system and advise? Or maybe post your own link with a recommended system on dell/amazon/ebay really appreciate it! There isn't really a budget and I'm buying for someone who would prefer new

that is insanely overpriced even for new.
you can get new prodesk system with eight gen processors for that money, these are older 6th gen

any other links you can share or sites that will build a good system

Note these 8th gen i5 processors are more powerful than the 6/7th gen i7
with 10 8mp camera I would go with an 8th or 9th gen i7. PROVANTAGE: HP 4HJ16UT#ABA HP Smart Buy ProDesk 600 G4 SFF i7-8700 3.2GHz 8GB 256GB DVD-RW W10P64 (VGA/2DP) 3-Year
30fps is a waste of resources and silly.

Look at the link below for systems that are running a similar load.
Blue Iris Update Helper

It is the MP/SEC that determines the real load. a simple estimate is 10 cameras, 8 MP at 30 FPS. that is 2400 MP/SEC.

The indication is you will need i9-7980 or an i7-6950 or a similar CPU

Use PassMark Software - CPU Benchmark Charts to look for similar CPUs.

Storage is dependent upon a lot of variables, black and white (night) is less than color (day). Motion is more than static, simple (single stucco color wall) is less than complex ( a lot or trees, flowers, sky, clouds), video compression type.

Storage estimate per 8MP camera per hour is 4 to 7 GB. Worse case 48 TB of storage. (24 hours x 30 days x 10 cameras x 7GB) /1024

You need a very big budget or lower your expectations.

note most if not all 8 MP cameras are pure crap at night, they are ok for inside.

how do I bring down storage requirements? Change to 15fps is one, what else? I'm ok with 7 days of retention since I'll be using cloud snapshots with blueiris sending motion detection images to the cloud

Thx

Bitrate is the only thing that affects storage. Saving to the cloud is for suckers.
