RE: Re: CCTV

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been running my GV650-8 with 5 cameras for 6 months on a P4 1.4MHz
with 768Mb RAM. All cameras are set to motion detect recording mode rather
than continuous record but I have plenty of spare CPU capacity even when
there's a lot of movement around the house.

>From what I've seen, some of the higher spec PC's are maybe a little
overkill - but as I said, I've not been recording permanently.

On another note - I've got a 105Gb HDD partition reserved for the video
captures - only now after 6 months is it full - pretty good going :)

I can't see why I'd want permanent recording either as the motion detect
record is so good - especially with the feature where you can playback all
the cameras that have recorded motion in real time in a matrix. Cool.

Paul.
