Hi,

I want to implement ZM for 500 5MP IP Cameras. How can I calculate hardware sizing.
Please suggest.

Also I need Paid support. (I have tried through chat box but not getting any reply.

500 cameras, what resolution, what fps? Do you want motion detection? What other bizarre requirements do you want?

Paid support is $200 USD/Hr. I'll get on the chat box tomorrow and try to facilitate this.

a 500 camera system is either going to take a ridiculous source (like an AMD EYPC 128core box I recently setup) or a multi-server setup.

Probably decicated storage server, dedicated db server and a few recording servers.

This is a serious project.
