The customer specified:

6 cameras to start
Equivalent of 2MP resolution view and record
30 days minimum storage
Scalable to maintain specs up to 90 channels.

They did not specify IP or NVR, but I don't know any way to do it without
going that way and sticking strictly with H.264 and keeping it down around 5
frames.  I am still limited to telling them to buy more NVRs for each 32
channel block.

Even with H.264 at 5 frames we are looking at 92.7 Mbps plus overhead by the
time they meet full scale.  If they demand higher frame rates on motion it
goes through the roof.
