Thanks for all the suggestions. Reducing the FPS to 15 for all cameras significantly reduced the CPU usage. I now have all 5 cameras recording full-time during business hours M-F and CPU usage was hovering around 50%. Appreciate the help.

Thanks, the BI interface is very confusing in that regard. Why even have the setting if you can't change it?

Here are a few settings. The camera seems to only be recording at 0.5fps but keeps resetting the max to 30fps. All the cameras are doing this - I will set it at 15 fps and click "OK" and then when I go back into settings 5 seconds later it's at 30fps again.

@fenderman @SouthernYankee Thanks. I'm trying to change those settings. When I update the FPS to 15 on the cameras and save, when I go back into the settings, it shows 30 FPS again. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

I have a somewhat entry level but relatively newer PC - an Acer TC-780 Core i3-7100 3.90 Ghz with 8 GB RAM and onboard graphics. 5 Amcrest IP cameras some 2k some 3k, recording at 30fps maximum CPU is hitting 99-100% often and I think dropping a lot of frames. I know Blue Iris recommends an...

Turns out it was a firmware issue (I think). I tried multiple different Micro SD cards and they only successfully insert the correct way. I made absolutely sure they were in correctly and fully inserted but they were not showing up as even being recognized. I did a full reset to factory...

Recently installed an Amcrest IP8M-2496EB POE camera and it seems to work great except for the recording functionality. At first I thought it might be a problem with the SD card, which was bought at the same time as the camera, so I tried another today. Here's what it's doing... Accessing the...

Thanks for the feedback. The product was offered for free (for a review) and I did see one comment that was an IP camera, so I went ahead and took it. I'll give it my best shot and review it from the perspective of someone who uses Blue Iris software, and see if it'll work. Will definitely...

Here's the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B14Q1DX And here's their website: Tend Secure Lynx Indoor 2 It is not listed on Blue Iris' website, but wonder if it's just because it's so new? Anyone seen or used this with third party monitoring software before? What...
