All systems require a computer, we recommend purchasing this through Clever Sys,  if you choose to buy your own computer please discuss this with us so we can make recommendations to avoid any compatibility problems.  Secondly, we can provide cameras, video cards, multiplexers, and any miscellaneous hardware and components necessary to operate your software system. However, if you decide to purchase these items on your own we cannot guarantee without consultation that the items in question will work at the optimal level with our software.
