I am having a similar issue on 2 Bi5 servers, the used ram does not add up to processes. one is an intel 10th gen i7, the other is an i5 6400. SSD boot and 4tb Purple and updated drivers. both systems run great for approximately 5 days then slowly drops frames and becomes unstable to the point...

I would not use a xeon for any deployment really, Intel I5 6gen series is usually more than powerful enough my setup is an extreme example of what BI is capable of. but it required computer power that consumer grade couldn't handle. Im sure BI will become more efficient overtime the dell...

Of course! DW has incredible features with missing object detection, Failover, High encoding efficiency, ad much more but at the end of the day the customer wanted Blue Iris. Blue Iris is a great VMS! There is no denying it, Who else offers and affordable, reliable, cam license free vms?

Here are some upgraded screen caps,

Since the last deployment in January they have been operating 103 IP cams, 90 6mp Dahua (currently set at 2MP) and 13 Geovison 360 IP cameras with no issues. One server has the odd hiccup, but I have a suspicion its the raid controller. The Dell Poweredge R720XD pushes through 64 cameras with...

we had a bunch of 10 pro keys, and we used the DWS tool that disabled all the forced updates and bloat. And a windows server licence that would support that many cores would be costly, and its only running blue iris.

This is one of the few raid deployments I have done, If I do lose a drive, will all other data be lost? or will just the information on that drive be missing? We are considering of doing a 10G linked NAS to both servers for external backup, the backup currently is not a big priority to the...

approximately 20-45 cameras at one time are triggered. The test was during production and a good 40 where triggered. on and off of course, but overall little cpu spike.

They are a 2U, I tried a passive GT710 but it was unrecognized by the dell bios. Turns out I need a GPI riser power cord that is dell specific. I might just live with the poor resolution, even if I teamview into the server with no monitor is stuck at the low res... Ive never played with a usb...

Yes, the add camera becomes greyed out, i wanted to keep going lol and the clients are viewing the cameras remotely, the dell servers do not support high resolution monitors unfortunately. one is currently stuck at 800X600 as i look for a driver that works with windows 10 lol

No worries!, and you got it, different subnets for the 2 camera manufactures, then the local access. There will be redundancy set up in the future since the dell came with a quad nic. I believe the Ubiquiti will have no trouble handing the load since its not a flat network and all traffic is...

If we crank the cameras to 6mp, the other cpu will activate, the cpu saves power by scaling back.

All cameras are direct to disk, 1920X1080, 10FPS. All cameras are motion detection with no notifications currently set up, Blue iris is providing a time overlay for each camera. The servers are connected to a private lan with internet access, all cameras are on a private Vlan and subnet we are...

That's right! 96 Cameras, currently installed are 64 cameras. Thank you for your time in reading this thread, I will post as many photos and answer as many questions that I can! This is a multi phase project that I have been working on with a company for a few months. Last summer I installed...

Not sure how to use the portal yet, still in training lol If you google #Bookportal you will get an idea of what its used for.
