Need Advide for a mini Pc for CCTV\PBX

Post by habusho » Wed Dec 25, 2013 12:57 pm

Hi everyone,

I've been doing research for a computer for the past few days and I would really appreciate some guidance for a small computer for us.

Ideally this machine would be very small and silent and be able to fit a 3.5" because they're less expensive (worst case a 2.5" HD). It would be used as an NVR and would record feeds from 8 HD IP CCTV cameras recording in 1080p. This machine would stay on full time 24\7. It might also use dual use as a PBX machine. Recording the actual video feed wouldn't take too much horsepower but playing back the files would.

I've taken a look at the Intel NUC platform but I think it's way too limited.

If anybody could recommend a platform or even specific parts to use for a machine, I would really appreciate it.

In order to act as PBX, does it require some specialty cards? In case, how many of them, and how big they are?

No additional cards are needed. I just need an ethernet port.
