Thanks @BobVonBob.

what software do you recommend that's capable of doing this? I was initially thinking of using Plex/Emby type of service as most of the encoding/converters  that I tried had to manually add the files into the encoder

Hey Folks,

Need some help with setting up a few rigs to do CCTV footage archiving for a client of mine. My basic guideline configs looks like this:

i5 8th Gen

8GB RAM

1050Ti 4GB

Here's the scenario:

Client has about 16 analogue CCTV cameras being recorded on a DVR. They need to store recording for about 3 months duration. My suggestion was to encode everything into h.265 1080p or 720p with ~300MB file size. The DVR systems have a windows software to schedule download video files.

My question is would the above hardware be enough to perform this task? And what software is able to monitor a fold/sub-folders and continuously run this task?

Appreciate any help that can be given to me.
