Hi @Elgato54I know Dell is pretty much Bottom of the Barrel but opinions on this for BI?
Isn't the Optiplex the business line and Inspiron retail? I know that often they are the same hardware but the retail SW is loaded up with crap.Hi @Elgato54
Specs from that box look good .. Dell Inspiron .. I would check to see if you can add another HDD to that easily for video storage ..
In general I like the Optiplex line better as they tend to be more robust ..
Inspiron from my experience the hardware was not as durable as the Optiplex hardware .. and yes extra software bloat on retail customers ..Isn't the Optiplex the business line and Inspiron retail? I know that often they are the same hardware but the retail SW is loaded up with crap.
I have an older I7-3770 with an SSD and a 1TB drive. It would probably be fine for 5 cameras. It is in an old Corsair case that is huge and probably draws a lot more power.FYI, I'm running BI on an HP Elite 880 - G1 w. Intel i7-4770 @ 3.40ghz and 16gb ram The OS is w10. BI runs 11 cams and generally runs abt 10% or less cpu. It's also running Deepstack I got the system on eBay for under $200 I did add the 500gb ssd which added some to the cost
