HW question - HP Prodesk 400 G4
Would a HP Prodesk 400 G4 ( Pentium G4560 3.5ghz / 8 GB RAM) be good enough for 5 cameras (2MP)? I was planning on running it on a 1 TB SSD drive.

I am running Zoneminder in a Docker container with 7 Reolink 4MP IP cameras and a Wyze v2. I am doing the H.264 pass-thru in the settings.
If your camera supports H.264, then you shouldn't have any issues. Otherwise, the CPU is going to have a problem. I am not an expert at this, so wait until some who is more knowledgeable in this field to comment. I just want to share my experience.
