    Service hardware requirements for 8-10 4K (8mp) cameras

    understood aout the camera. For now, Im buying the 4Mp 5442 cameras. Im not sure Ill be upgrading to 4K anytime soon based on my new found knowledge and cost of those cameras with proper sensor. Is there a guide for how to properly setup motion detection in BI?

    Service hardware requirements for 8-10 4K (8mp) cameras

    Thanks. Since Ive optimized my BI server, My cpu stays mostly around 10-14% usage and even with activity across 2-3 cams, it only goes up to 50-60%. On a windy day when all cameras are triggering at once, the CPU hits 100%. So for now, Im going to focus on swapping out my old Hikvision cams for...

    is this overkill? with some july 4th coupons it comes out to about $315 out the door. https://www.dellrefurbished.com/item/dell-optiplex-7070-mff-60241f1f/dell-optiplex-7070-mff/1.html?child=dell-optiplex-7070-mff-000040&%2F=&template=

    I updated both the amcrest cameras to the latest firmware. this one is running firmware for 08/18/22. is there a later firmware? maybe that could do the trick. last question for this night (sorry) - so there are 2 profiles on the camera. day and night. under conditions -> profile management i...

    got it. set the 2d/3d NR day profile to 25 and the night profile to 45 as a baseline what should I set the substream at? also - do you have idea why in the Ring app only my amcrest cameras seem to be on a 30 sec refresh for the live view? the other cameras, including the new one do not...

    @wittaj I set it to the codec/frames settings you mentioned above. For the picture, here is what i have: *I do not see manual exposure setting. I have a slider called "Exposure Comp" and it looks like it goes to 50 * I also do not see a noise reduction setting anywhere* Day Profile: Under...

    Service hardware requirements for 8-10 4K (8mp) cameras

    @wittaj I received and installed the Loryta cam today. Im finding that in BI, when i click on that camera to view it full screen, its incredibly grainy and choppy. Whereas, when I click any of my other cameras (Reolink, Amcrest, Hikvision), they are all clear. Im assuming maybe there are some...

    I setup the sub streams on my 7 cameras and my CPU usage went from 70% to 10%! all these years of the CPU basically redlining. lol

    I just ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S47VXGY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to try out. Im not sure I need varifocal yet, still need to read more. Im more concerned with whats happening no further than 20-30' from the camera on my property (and i...

    Service hardware requirements for 8-10 4K (8mp) cameras

    Well no, if a $115 PC will do the trick, that certainly seems like a better option. Originally my thought was if I need a new processor/motherboard/ram then it would be in the 600-700 range. however truth be told, BI is a bit overwhelming for me with my very limited knowledge (as you can tell...

    Service hardware requirements for 8-10 4K (8mp) cameras

    Thank you. I was also thinking, I have an older gaming PC that I was going to sunset, but perhaps I can convert it to my BI server. It has an i7-4770k, 16Gb ram and its running a GTX 980ti GPU (if somehow i can take advantage of hardware acceleration). its not a very efficient machine, but im...

    @wittaj thank you. These prices are within reason. Do you think if I went with these, my BI Server should still be updated? Also - what exactly will the varifocal lens do for me over the fixed? Will it zoom on something if it detects motion further in the distance?
