Re: [PLUG] videocam


For IDE users, two striped drives, 7200rpm with 8MB cache each , would help. I'm sure SCSI offers a better solution. But, then, why do we need two cameras streaming directly to the hard drives?

You can have multiple cameras on firewire, but the problem then becomes the speed that your HDD can write two video streams to disk. With a single IDE drive in my laptop, my machine is working pretty hard just to keep up with one camera.
