Hey folks,

Just moved into a small site and need to hook up 3 outdoor HD Axis network cameras to the NX Witness.  

The site has an ethernet switch and fibre router, but no server.  The business does not need a server other than to enable NX Witness and record on site.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best hardware for this?  A plug a play solution would be ideal.  Would the Axis recorders be compatible or is there a better way to go?

Thanks!

  How much storage space do you need? You could always test with a RPi but you don't want to write to flash memory so you'd have to have an external drive which ends up being pretty unprofessional.

  I like Lenovo's Tiny PCs. They're small and even the lower powered CPUs are more than powerful for 3 cameras. You can only fit a single 2.5" drive in them though, so if you need more storage than what you can fit there, you've gotta move up larger.

  Disclaimer: I run this stuff at home, I'm not an installer, nor do I use it for business.
