CPHC40-500 Setup Requirements

When you start to plan out building your DVR, there some basic requirements to follow to ensure a successful build. Building a computer can be complicated if you have never done it before. If you do not want to piece a computer together, then you should buy a rack mount DVR or PC from CompUSA. They are also known as Tiger Direct and they have good prices on pre-built computers. This can save you a lot of time. We still recommend buying a PC based DVR, because we have better prices. You will find our DVRs to be engineered better for supporting security cameras. If you are building your DVR from scratch make sure you use a Pentium P4 processor or higher. You will also need about one gig of memory. Depending on how many security cameras you are installing, will depict how much hard drive space you need. There are many factors that play into calculating the right amount of record time. We have a DVR hard drive calculator you can use to see what variables you can play with to achieve the right amount of record time. You can also add 250 gig hard drives until you reach the right amount of internal video storage you want. To give you an idea a DVR system with 4 security cameras recording at real-time recording (30 frames per second) on a 250 gig hard drive will record up to a week's worth of video. So make sure that before you buy all your computer parts, that you think about what you are doing and figure out the right amount hard drive space.
