Can you believe I'm still running BI version 4? My computer hardware can barely carry it, so I've put off upgrading until now. Some of my new webcams have to be throttled down to low resolution to keep the old system from crashing, and that pushed me over the line. I plan to avoid upgrading and just use my old license to start a new B5 system from scratch, on new hardware. I need to support 5 - 9 cameras, with only 2-3 standard HD or higher. Of course, I do want to build in some expandability.
So I've looked at some specs on the forum, and I'm thinking I'll want to build the hardware to avoid compromises (Let me know if there's a good off-the-shelf system I should consider). I see that integrated graphics is recommended, but I also see some recommendations for a high-end nVidia card. I assume a decent onboard graphics system would be best? I see an i5-12600K with Intel UHD 770 graphics, and an I7-6700 with integrated Intel HD 530 graphics.
Opinions? Warnings?
