16 IP camera server specs. Runs great and room for more.

Just wanted to let everyone know about my specs for my camera server.
Gigabyte BRIX Pro i7-4770r
2x 4GB ram
2x 1TB SSD Samsung EVO
Ubuntu server 14.04
Zoneminder 1.28
12x Axis M3203 800x600
3x Chinese foscam knockoffs PTZ 640x480
1x Axis M3204 1280x800
Server load at about 1.5-2
All cameras capturing at 15fps
All cameras set to Modect
33 zones
Using mjpeg to capture images
When I had all cameras set to 7fps the server load was around 0.8
This little box makes a great Zoneminder box. A little expensive but you can put it out of the way just about anywhere as long as it has good ventilation.
There is plenty of room for more cameras. Setting all the Axis cameras to do motion detection on their own, setting the frame rate to 7 or 5, and setting the quality of the images from the cameras down a bit to conserve bandwidth I bet I could get over 60 cameras to work. Maybe more. The only real issue is the network bandwidth and the storage space. This is just a home setup so I dont need that many.
If anyone has any question feel free to ask.
