We have a permanent site at a local campground. I will be installinga few HikVision cameras for security so I’m looking to either buy or build acomputer to run Blue Iris software. I will have a total of 4 cameras, 3 outdoorand one indoor. Can someone help me with the motherboard and CPU selection Iwould need for this? I’ve built computers before so I’m capable of building onebut if buying one from Dell or wherever is cheaper, that’s fine.
I understand from researching this forum a Gen 4 I7 would bea good choice but a Gen 4 I5 may work as well since I only have 4 cameras. I don’twant to spend a fortune on this system.
This computer system would be connected to a router.
Also, is a computer a better choice over an NVR for what I’mtrying to do?
I would like to record and view the cameras from a webbrowser and a phone.
Here are the cameras I have so far.
(2) Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-IW
(1) Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW
I also have (2) Swann NVK-460 (indoor) cameras that I wouldlike to use but not sure if it’s possible. I have the NVR that came with the packageas well but wanted all the cameras on the BI if possible.
I was planning to head to Micro Center this afternoon sohopefully buy them I’ll have a few suggestions.
Thanks
