A Computer running ASP with PC-NVR can and will work without much issue to store Footage on your Computers HDD...
So while in the resent text and testing I have done with a computer for what ever reason will not let me use PC-NVR even though it is clearly working in the back ground and is running on my computer at start up...
So I have done more testing with a few of my Computers... Some of this testing is little more under Stress test for the lack of better terms.. I like to Real World test things when I can.. So I am not going to go over all of the findings in my testing... However I will say that it can be done and can be done with out much strain once you get your system setup for recording... I ran the Test on 2 Game Machines one with 32gb ram and full SSD 240gb and 1tb ssd. I personally wouldn't go this route but did well on stats. 6 Cameras recording on PC-NVR and Live view of 6 streams of the cameras. Checked the system stats at the CPU was at 36% with very little flex... This computer is a Acer Predator G3 I7 7700k, 32gb ram and 8gb Video GTX 1070. When I did the Play back test I wanted to see what happens when i left the Live on in the tab above and while searching for videos didn't add much to the CPU... Once I started play back of 4 IP cameras from the PC-NVR data at first I made mistake of pulling data from the cameras lol this did do a burst of 55% then noticed it was wrong data. SO did search off the PC-NVR lol.. Once I loaded the Cameras leaving the 2 CVI cameras alone. they were there in window but not playing the CPU was at 64%. So I thought I would close the Live Play back and see if that freed up some CPU. Went to 66%... The other test was Cyber PC with i5 9400f 8gb ram and 6gb 1660Gtx GPU.. Both systems are Pure SSD Drives Both are 240gb and 1tb. Removed the HDD for better performance... While less ram sadly it did outperform the 7700k but not by much.. Also might be less bloat ware on the Cyberpower PC... Because I fresh loaded Win10 Pro on it...
OK well went in more data then I was going to... Because I thought not many people would want to give up their game machines to do a NVR when one of them PC's for the Price would pay for 5 TOP end NVR the Cyber PC 2 high end NVRs... However I thought ok Lets look at another PC... This one is same year or close to the same as the AMD 4300 I did the test on... However this one I took out the Graphics card because the CPU has one where the 4300 didn't... So this test and the Test I am going to call Good enough to record as many IP cameras as ASP will let you. I think 16 is the number I could be wrong... However... This test was with 4 IP cameras 3 841's 1 on new FW and 2 on the 2.520 2017 version... The 4th is a 751 recording at 720p.. 2 Cameras I set up for Motion only recording.. I thought lets test Real world here... I wanted to see if Trigger of motion added stress to cpu. I didn't notice any extra strain... Setup PC-NVR on ASP without Looking at Demands I wanted to just setup. without knowing....
Setup...
PC is a i3 3240 with 8gb Ram and 1tb WD HDD...
ASP setup all cameras as stated. I brought in all the IP cameras first... 195, 215,218 and 219. Then I added the CVI dvr that already had the 218 and 219 on it but wanted both in for testing...
Started PC-NVR, adding to to my Static IP i3 computer ip 139.
Started PC-NVR to auto load on Reboots...
Right Clicked the CVI group on the right and clicked on Load Main checked all the cameras that listed and added them.
Then I added the 215 (841 2015)
Then added the 751
Rebooted computer.
Loaded CVI camera set by choosing Main Stream 4 screens pop up I change to 9 and they stay on Main Steam then I add the 215 and the 195 to have 6 streaming live feeds... Ctrl, Alt Delete and check the performance and doing well at a 48% to 53% moving between cameras and such kept thing under 60%. I then loaded the Playback off the PC-NVR and adding cameas as you have to or only way i knew how 1 at a time went from 75% to a 100% on all IP cameras loaded in a 9 window setup was going to bring in Cam1 and 2 but with the Live View active it didn't want to laod.. SO I pressed the X of the Live View and with all 6 cameras in playback they were playing but wouldn't sync.. and with all 6 camera in playback only it was going from 92 to 100% but was able to switch and look over things without lag...
So in the End... I wanted to also look at the Flow with just PC-NVR running and ASP off after a reboot... So shut down and rebooted computer... PC-NVR loads on reload and starts Recording the Camera as you had them setup... I then CTRL alt and Del again and checked performance was at 19% CPU for total... however looking at PC-NVR there was nothing on CPU tax only HDD and memory didn't think about the % of network as I wasn't looking at that lol... Under normal testing with ASP running and live view it was 44 to 50megs
I would use this computer without issue to record ip cameras if I didn't have another way of Recording already... I can tell you this will mess up the Time of the cameras I don't know why but all of them get all crazy on the times lol.... When I looked back at Live view after Playback the Time was off 10min from computer time...
So if you were going to say run 1 or 2 on Playback at a time then I would say this would be great... Trying to bring them in all at same time... Then use a Game Machine lol However for a computer just chilling in the closet and need something to record in a pinch.. I would use this and even the 4300Fx that I did testing on just don't try and play back to much or Live view to much not that you only want to look over 4 of your 8 or what not but go by what your computer can take...
Only going to load 1 Picture that is off the I3 This is just of the 4 off the CVI system loaded not doing other 2 IP camera for this picture wanted to show test much higher then newer Game Machine tested using the 4 IP cameras this only 2 1080 and 2 720P
