My build for 40 4K cameras

[carpenter71]

Not sure if anyone is interested or not, but below is my setup at work.
I have leaned quite a bit here and just thought I would post my setup in case anyone was interested.

The goal of the system was to track order lifecycle.
Receiving
Staging
Production
Packaging
Shipping.

I currently have 40 4K cameras split into separate groups depending on location within the shop.
28 Cameras record full time from 5AM until 6PM, outside of those hours these cameras are running motion trigger.
The rest of the cameras are setup for 24hr motion detection watching office spaces and parking/entrance.
With the current setup I have about 4-5 months of history at my disposal.

CPU Utilization during work hours runs about 7%, and 36 degrees C.
RAM Utilization is around 21%

Things that I wished I knew before.
RAM, I think I could have gotten away with 32GB
SAS Drives rock!
RAID Cards get hot.
More fans = Better
The case I bought only has room (realistically) for 8 drives, I maybe should have looked for a case with more 3.5inch slots, or a used disk shelf. I ended up having to buy a 4 bay disk enclosure to increase data pool size.
