View source for iPi Recorder System Requirements for Multiple PS Eye Cameras Configuration

* Computer (desktop or laptop):
** ''CPU:'' x86 compatible (Intel Pentium 4 or higher, AMD Athlon or higher, 2GHz), dual- or quad- core is preferable
** ''Operating system:'' Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
** ''USB'': at least two USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 '''controllers'''
**: For more info see [[Cameras and Accessories#USB controllers|USB controllers]]
** ''ExpressCard'' or ''eSATA'' slot (for laptops)
**: Optional, but highly recommended. It allows to install external USB controller in case of compatibility issues between cameras and built-in USB controllers, or if all USB ports are in fact connected to a single USB controller
** ''Storage system'': HDD or SSD or RAID with write speed:
*** For 4 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 17 MByte/sec
*** For 6 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 25 MByte/sec
*** For 8 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 35 MByte/sec
*** For 12 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 50 MByte/sec
*** For 16 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 70 MByte/sec
{{Note|These numbers are valid for "background subtraction" compression mode (default compression mode for PS Eye cameras in [[iPi Recorder]]). But this compression involves additional CPU load. If your CPU is a bottleneck, you can use non-compressed mode that gives 3-5 times higher required write speed, but the CPU load will be reduced.}}
