Title: System requirements
Post by: chef malbert on February 07, 2008, 06:58:46 PM
I recently ordered a four camera system w/the vanguard software.
I would like to get my pc primed for the project before my hardware arrives.
My questions are:
-What are the minimum system requirements for the software?
-How much hard drive space should a allocate for saving video from the cameras?

Also, I have an dormant (antiquated) PII in my closet. I would like to use this a a dedicated machine used only for the x10 system. However, I am afraid that it won't have enough juice. 300mhz pentium, 128mb RAM & a tiny hard drive. It's no problem to install a larger hard-drive but I would rather not make the investment if the system itself is not fast enough to run the software. Also, would a video card upgrade be recommended, current card is a 4mb s3.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your quick reply.
The old tower I plan on using has xp home edition installed.
Sounds like I definately need to invest in a larger hard drive (or two).
Would you mind providing a link to your real solutions page?
Thanks
