Hi all,
I'm sorry but I've got a question about the amount of horse power required to run Cortex with up to 6 cameras. I know Cortex by itself doesn't require much, the team ran it on a W8 tablet and I've had mine running fine on a old Revo for the past couple of years and an even older Dell D600 before that! However, I've not had any cameras before.
I'm considering having a few of these Dome Cameras and a few of these Bullet Cameras. All will be PoE and I'll have a dedicated file server with ample storage space.
I was originally planning to run Cortex and the file server on the same machine but the more I think about it the more I think it would be better to keep them separate so I'll be looking to put Cortex in a 2U server case like this one (or similar) and the file server will have it's own 4U case to house a bunch of drives. I'd also like to keep the energy usage under control. I have enough spare parts to build a new machine but they are quite old and are not the most energy efficient so thought it was time for a hardware refresh.
Any thoughts, ideas and pitfalls to avoid would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Nad
