Looking at possibly using this as a surveillance server for a small IP camera installation (4 to 5 1mp cams). Running the Milestone VMS suite. I have a couple of questions:

Does the second port support iscsi connections?
What exactly is the watchdog functionality? Do i need to have a host server to receive alerts?
Does anyone have insight or experience using these as recording servers?
This server would maintain a fairly high load and be in a warm environment (up to 110F), would this computer hold up?
I would be using the barebone kit, is there a list of supported hard drives and memory?

Thank you for any help!

No.

What exactly is the watchdog functionality? Do i need to have a host server to receive alerts?

Watchdog is an optional reset mechanism in case operating system hangs.

Does anyone have insight or experience using these as recording servers?

CompuLab will have a major announcement soon. Currently there are large surveillance customers using these computers.

Yes! You may consider connecting the hard disk externally (eSATA or USB3) for the following reason: SSD copes with temperature better, but is less suitable for continuous recording. So have the OS on internal SSD and do the recording on external HDD.

I would be using the barebone kit, is there a list of supported hard drives and memory?

It is very unusual for memory or hard disk to be incompatible with Intense PC. We did not blacklist any part.
