AMD FX-4300, Rosewill R379-M. Results: WD Surveillance Benchmark, Idle Time - Surveillance Hard Drive Shoot-Out: WD And Seagate Square Off. As we stated earlier, WD considers each test case a pass if the idle time is greater than 20%.

Results: WD Surveillance Benchmark, Idle Time - Surveillance Hard Drive Shoot-Out: WD And Seagate Square Off

For this round of benchmarks, we considered three different cases. The first was 16 cameras running at 720p/30 FPS, adding up to slightly less than 6 Mb/s per stream in both directions for 16 cameras using H.264 compression. Only the WD Red was unable to keep up with the workload. And now we can start to see the difference WD's AllFrame technology brings to the table. While the Purple idled nearly half of the time, the Surveillance HDD was idle less than 30%. The next test case was 16 cameras at 1080p/20 FPS. Finally, we expanded the first test case from 16 to 32 cameras, at which point all of the drives land under the pass/fail criteria.

This is, by far, the most strenuous test for these drives. Screenshots. This page contains a number of screen shots illustrating the various features of ZoneMinder with brief explanations.

Screenshots

For more comprehensive documentation see the Wiki. Also note that these screen shots are not necessarily updated with each new version and so may lag behind what you'll actually see in some respects. This is the main ZoneMinder console. As you can see it lists the monitors and their states and also details various other information such as alarm counts. I've had to scale this a bit to get it to fit which has messed it up a bit, you can click on the image to view it full size. Clicking on the 'montage' link takes you to this page which shows all active monitors and their current state. This image shows a 'live' feed from one of the monitors. The monitor in the previous shot happened to be using a controllable Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) camera. Going back to the console view, you might recal there we various counts of alarms generated over various periods. Shuttle DS61 V1.1 Intel H61 2 x 204Pin SO-DIMM Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System.

This review is from: Shuttle DS61 V1.1 Intel H61 2 x 204Pin SO-DIMM Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System Pros: - clean industrial black styling- sturdy all metal chassis- compact size- vesa mountable- impressive heat sink & fan assembly- seems like a well thought-out interior - nice drive bracket- runs quietly & cool- solid selection of ports- superior customer service (more below)- saves me from making a decision about which mobo to get- bios seems easy enough to navigate- comes with vesa mount brackets- reasonable price considering what's included (even the thermal adhesive!)

Shuttle DS61 V1.1 Intel H61 2 x 204Pin SO-DIMM Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System

- extra ethernet port in case one of them fails? - easy enough to install components for a first-timer like me Other Thoughts: This was my very first build. Some of my cons are nit-picking, yes, but isn't that the purpose of a review? I'm using it for database/web dev stuff primarily so the absence of more uber graphics isn't a big deal for me. Components: Erik from Shuttle has been truly incredible. Zoneminder 2013 - Part 2 - IP Camera Setup. Upload out of the Danger Zone. I feel the need.
