new hardware recomendation for 24 ip cameras = =1434 MP/s

[mercer2]

Hi

as the title says, I need hardware recomendation for 24 ip cameras =1434 MP/s
compromised of
18 x 4mp
2 x 8mp
3 x 1.2mp
1 x 4mp

all ip cameras can do h264 or h265

I really would like a 1u bare metal or a 2u virtualized system.
the system needs to be a dell rack mounted system

I have looked at this
Precision 3930 Rack Workstation
Intel Core i9-9900K, 8 Core, 16MB Cache, 3.6Ghz, 5 Ghz Turbo w/UHD Graphics 630
32GB 4x8GB DDR4 2666MHz UDIMM Non-ECC Memory
NVIDIA® Quadro® P2000, 5GB, 4 DP
Hard Drive 2.5" 256GB SATA Class 20 Solid State Drive
nic 10gb


price is $2.5k

recording would be to a 1 petabyte nas server with a 10gb connection


would this system be enough for that amount of cameras?
is there any other dell rack mounted system I can get for less money, on ebay?
I tried to use a R720 with 2 x Xeon 2630 v2 without success

thank you

look at other systems and what they are doing. The most import thing is the MP/s calculation.

Most visualized system will not support the intel GPU quicksync processing available on a standalone intel system. It is strongly recommended to NOT virtualizate a system that is critical.

I believe that BI will not run well on a 2 CPU system not positive but i have read that there are problems.

Look at Passmark cpu ratings

PassMark - CPU Benchmarks - CPU Mega Page - Detailed List of Benchmarked CPUs

for comparision of performance.

thanks for the reply,
from the research it looks like the most powerful cpu with quick sync video is 9900k
but then over 1500mp/s it directs you to hdet platform which then would point me to the intel i9-10980XE however this cpu does not offer quick sync video.

how can cpu's without quick sync be recommended over the ones with quick sync?

the passmark for 9900K is 20194
the passmark for 10980XE is 31646 but without quick sync

you opinion on this is greatly appreciated.


thank you

Maybe at this high-end with the budget you have consider a commercial VMS package, or evaluate running Blue Iris with Limit Decode and learning about that setting? I know @fenderman frequently recommends this one:

I would suggest you look at digital watch dogs VMS or if you're outside of North America it's sold by Network optix as NX witness.
It's $70 per camera however that includes lifetime free upgrades to new versions.

There are far fewer CPU's that work at the high-end and the systems become significantly more expensive than the hobbyist grade stuff most users will be using.

If you decide to go the BI route, you can set the lower activity cameras to not use quicksync. BI has a lot of tuning featured to adjust the CPU load. If power usage and heat is not an issue you can add a High end video card and off load some processing there.

I really do not see 1500 Mp/s being an issue for an i9-9900K cpu. But you will need to so some tuning.

There are people running a 9900 cpu at a much higher number of cameras and Mp/s without pushing the CPU.

^^ agreed.

And why does it need to be a Dell rackmount?

 

[mercer2]

looking to have spare capacity in the cpu, to be able to work with ai plug ins etc.
i would like it to be dell, since all my servers are dell in my house, and what to be consistent on it.
$2.5k is the max budget for my server, not looking to spend more than that.

Southeryankee, that Blu iris update helper is a great resource!

thank you

For about $1100 you could build your own 2U rackmount system using an empty case and put in a Z390 motherboard and low profile Noctua CPU cooler. Keep the savings and put towards something else.

I wouldn't want an I9-9900K in a 1U server, it'll probably have insufficient cooling.

thanks here is the rack diagram in case you guys wanted to see it.
