No need to run security cameras at 30fps...
Look at an i5-6500 system...search the forum for optiplex and elitedesk..you can buy these for 300.
If you want more headroom look at an i7-6700...

I find 20fps to be more than enough, though I've not seen any cars drive by at more than probably 15 or 20mph tops since I live on a pretty short street.

20 more then enough???? dude 10 is more then you should really ever need.... fps don't really mean shit. It's the time and the amount of light the sensor lets in. I can get a plate number at 10 fps with a car driving 30mph..

hey, I know all of that, don't crap on my personal preference, I'm not the only one round here that runs 15-20fps.
I've got more than enough CPU.¿Do you really think that an i5-6500 would satisfy my requirements if I run the cameras at 20-24fps?

Run them at 15fps..its foolish to run higher as you need to increase your bitrate for the same quality and the result is wasted storage...if you want to be say by an i7-6700 for 400-500..

I found little CPU difference, almost none between running all cams at 10fps and 20fps so why not, I run Max bit rate constant, etc etc. What's the point of running cameras with settings that degrade the quality, buy a better machine, or crappier cameras lol. Hard drive space is cheap.
