Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the forum. Although this is my first post as a new member, I have been around in the background for a while now. I do more reading than posting and usually find the answers to my questions that way. I'm not a professional IT person or installer. I simply wanted a good non out of the box surveillance system that I could build, install, tinker around with and make better along the way. So far my system consists of 10 Amcrest POE cameras: some 2MP, 5MP, 8MP and a Doorbell cam. I run the latest version of Blue Iris and DeepStacl on a server built with a MSI B360 mobo, Intel i5(not sure of gen right now) 4x8Gigs @32Gigs G-Skills Ripjaw Ram, 250Gig M.2 card, two 4TB Western Digital Purple hard drives, EVGA Bronze 500 watt power supply, all Noctua fans and Noctua CPU Cooler all in a Rosewill rack mounted server case. I also use the Blue Iris app for mobile access and Zero Tier One for connection. There may be something that I forgot to mention, but this is pretty much what I have. And it works pretty good. My CPU usage stays around 17%. RAM usage seems to hover around 45% though. Storage usage varies as I have all door cams and front cams recording continually in 1hr blocks that dump after a certain amount of time. I have an old EVGA 1060 Graphics card sitting around that I want to use with Deep Stack but, I have to get up to speed on that more. Again, thanks for having me in the group and I look forward to learning from you.
