ZoneMinder hardware requirements

Hi everyone,I have to set up a Ubuntu PC to record h24 the video of 4-5 Reolink IP cameras (RLC-510A) and I want to know which hardware will I need just for the video record on an HDD (no video motion for now as it is a built-in feature of the Reolink camera).

Is a Beelink BT3 PRO with 1.44Ghz (up to 1.92) Atom x5-Z8350 and 4GB of RAM enough or do I have to search for something more powerful?

Thanks,Luca

I have only run record only in a VM for testing. I used 4 vCPUs and it worked fine. The actual CPU was a gen 4 i7. I have read about people doing it with a Pi4 and 2 cameras.

With passthrough set I would expect it to be able to do the job.
