Hi All
Trying to work out what my best option is. I’m trying to keep costs to a minimum as I’ve got various disks/drives I can reuse.
I’ve got a HP microserver running a Debian VM with motioneye for motion detection and recording, however I feel that this is going to use too much power being on 24/7 (the microserver is running win 8.1 as I use it as a media pc occasionally)
It boils down to which is going to use the least power and be able to perform motion detection from my 2 1080p IP cameras. Options are:
Rpi3 running motioneye software and writing data to a portable hdd.
Synology/QNAP NAS and use the inbuilt surveillance station
Reprovision an old Dell Vostro laptop and use ispy for cctv software.
Don’t mind spending a bit initially if it makes sense for longer term power savings but the microserver is using about 55w currently which soon adds up.
Any other alternatives I’ve missed welcome!
