System Requirements
The performance of CMS is largely determined by the computer hardware capability. The table
below provides basic guidelines for selecting proper computer hardware

. The Minimum PC
Spec will provide acceptable performance. You can make use of the utility PC Selector
to select proper PC hardware in just a few clicks.
For a system that has more than 1600 channels or more than 16 live view channels should
satisfy Recommended PC Spec for good performance.

These specifications are based on following camera settings:
Single stream mode 1280x1024, 3Mbps, 18fps, MPEG-4
Dual stream mode1280x1024, 3Mbps, 18fps, H.264 (recording);
640x480, Quality: 100, 18fps, MJPEG (live view).
