Kasi kung hindi kinaya ng core2duo, i doubt it that an atom based PC can do the job, lalo na if you are expecting the file to grow. Better invest on a proper server IMO.
CCTV cameras eat up a LOT of space quickly so make sure you have lots of disk space. File servers would be simpler to set-up and maintain, database servers is quite different. do you have a simple network having a router with DHCP capabilities or are you using a Domain controller? you have to consider these things before purchasing a server. kasi kung expected mo na lalaki yun file, baka mamaya after 2 months hindi na kaya nung binili mo na server, dagdag gastos na naman. sayang din kung ganun lang.

Well KVMs are pretty useful especially if you are maintaining several servers. It saves you space and money.
