The minimum requirements largely depend on the method used for recording and the number of cameras recorded simultaneously. The requirements below are indications; actual requirements may vary.

Note: Currently, the live preview of all cameras requires most of the GPU power. Meaning that (should your system be a bit low on GPU and CPU power, causing the preview to become jerky and delayed), the recordings itself are still OK and in sync.

General Requirements

oEnough local storage to save your recordings, best on an SSD.

The required space depends on various elements:

oThe number of videos recorded per session.

oDuration of the recordings session.

oThe resolution of the cameras.

oThe amount of movement happening in front of the cameras the recording.

Four Camera Setup

To simultaneously record 4 IP cameras, using the default Axis source method, these are the minimum requirements for your computer:

 

IMPORTANT: If you need to record videos streams or other Windows devices, all encoding is done on the computer itself (when using Axis sources, the encoded video stream is created on the camera itself, which saves a whole lot of computer resources).
This means that you need at least an Nvidia Quadro P2000 to handle more than 3 'streaming-sources' simultaneously.

Eight Camera Setup

To simultaneously record 8 IP cameras, using the default Axis source method, these are the minimum requirements for your computer:

IMPORTANT: Recording 8 or more cameras on a single recording station only works for Axis sources, when using video streams and other Windows devices, only 4-5 cameras can be recorded in-sync on a single recording station. If more camera views are required and the default Axis source type cannot be used, an additional Slave-Recording-System is required.

*) Comparable AMD** graphic boards as well an onboard Intel graphic chips (starting from HD 4001) works too.

**) There is no hardware decoder support for AMD graphic boards. For onboard Intel graphics, QuickSync supports for decoding.
