Hello.
I recently purchased a Reolink 4 POE camera video surveillance system for the house. And, in my usual fashion, I did so before researching the "correct" questions.
The system "works". But I can't get the sensitivity for motion/person/automobile detection dialed in. Bump it up a hair and my phone gets bombarded with false alerts. Bump it down a bit and you can go do jumping Jack's in front of it without any notifications at all. And don't even get me started on how it is if it starts snowing!
So, I'm looking at setting up my own NVR using ZoneMinder. Which leads me to Step #2: Deciding on a PC (Step #1 being the choice of software).
I've been all over the web for the last few days looking for Minimum System Requirements for ZM. Everyone seems to tiptoe around the subject. I guess because there is so many different cameras and even more variants in user needs.
I have no intention of going "bare minimum". But if anyone can recommend the "bare minimum", it would give me a good bar to jump over.
Would my ole Compaq Presario from 1996 work?
