That's easy.  None.

To calculate your minimum bandwidth needed, just look at your recording
bitrate.  If you're recording at 3500kbit/sec, that's only 3.5 megabit
per second, so you could record or playback over 15-20 of these at the
same time on a 100Mbit switched network, and probably at least 10 if
you're using a hub.

If you're using a pvr-250 recording at the 8Mbit avg, 16Mbit max then
you do 5 or so at a time at least, maybe 10.
