hi
I'm running a 16 channel analog dvr system right now, with 12 cameras all recording 24/7 onto 14tb of hard drives
need to add more cameras soon, need at least 22 total
planning to switch to IP cameras, I've ordered a DaHua HDBW4300R-Z HD 3MP camera and POE switch to try out the camera and see what it's like
I like to record 24/4
if I record direct to disk CPU load should be low yeah? (running core2duo right now, happy to upgrade)
for remote viewing/playback (cctv computer is hidden) can I watch the cameras just like I'm sitting at the blue iris machine ?
can I watch more than one camera at once, scan through them and have them all keep in sync with each other (show the same time/date)?
can I record to multiple hard drives ? - current system spans storage over different drives, when one drive is full it moves onto the next one
if not, I guess I'll have to run freenas or something like that, then put the drives in JABOD - if I do that is playback still the same ?
thanks for reading
hope you guys can help
Alan
