Hi Guys ! I am working for a company at the moment who would like to install 5 cameras in their building. They would like to keep the cost low but want to use Avigilon cameras as they've been specified by the advisor. I was wondering if anyone knew a way around buying a whole server for this system. Can I use a laptop and leave it plugged in all the time or is this too unreliable? any advice would be greatly appreciated !! Regards
