Hardware and feasibilty check (large project)
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2023 11:18 pm
Hello all,
I have quite a few years experience working with IP camera systems, but I have not yet done something as custom as I am looking at for my next project. I have found zoneminder and it sure looks like what I am looking for. Just need a sanity check.
PC for running ZM:
5950X+B550
128 GB DDR4
6TB HDD x 12
PCIe Sata expansion card
PCIe Network expansion card
GPU (RX 6800?)
Ubuntu
system:
@70 cameras 1080p 10fps 24/7 record
16 cameras 4k 10fps 24/7 record PTZ if I can make it work
4 24 port POE switches
1. Is ZM an acceptable software to run this quantity of cameras and record continuously?
2. Is the hardware I have outlined capable of running this system, or should I go up to a HPDT solution? Probably Threadripper if I do
3. GPU advice is greatly appreciated. I am not running anything more than simple recording for now, but as more options for AI integration appear I may add AI acceleration cards down the line.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
