RECOMMENDED HARDWARE FOR A POSM INSPECTION SYSTEM

Enhance Your POSM Experience
with the Right Hardware

Choosing the right computer and video capture hardware helps ensure reliable performance and a better overall POSM experience.

POSM can run on many Windows-based computers, but customers purchasing or configuring a new inspection system should follow the recommended specifications below whenever possible. Minimum requirements are also provided for customers evaluating an existing computer.

Video capture hardware can vary depending on the inspection camera system being used. Because available capture devices change over time, POSM recommends verifying current hardware compatibility before purchasing a new HD or 4K capture device.
