So I have two Dell r710 servers to build a server for Network cameras. Cameras are for now 4MP IP cameras connected to 3750 POE switch.
I plan to run zone minder on ubuntu 16 server.
Dell r710 specs:
Server 1
one 3.46Ghz Quad processor, bus 6.4 GT/s
12 GB of ram (2 gb sticks)
3.5" drives (6 slots, no drives or trays)
Server 2
Two 2.26 GHz quad processors, bus 5.86 GT/s
32 GB of ram (16 GB sticks)
2.5" drives (8 slots, one drive existing, no other trays)
These are nice, but very long, and loud (fans). I could make them work. Though would prefer something smaller and quieter.
Also have following that I am about to list on ebay:
6- Dell 2900 PowerEdge ECM01 Servers $75 obo.
3- HP Proliant DL380G5 Servers
2- HP Proliant ML370 Servers
2- NetApp FAS2020 Servers
1- Dell PowerEdge 2850 EMS
2- Cisco 3800 Series Servers
3- Cisco UCS C200 M2
2- Cisco UCS 6120XP
2- Cisco NAC 3350
I have not yet had time to sort through these to see if these would be better to use than the R710s.
Can anyone give me advice as to best server to use for POE IP cameras?
