any other recomondations?

thanks, I'll look into those.

looking for something with solar and 4g. This is for a piece of property I picked up -- undeveloped, no power, so looking for something I guess that hunters use? I can get out there a few times a month, so maybe something that'll last a week or two with solar., Not ring.

as a post script to this, got around to setting up substreams -- for 15 dahaua cameras recording at 4000x3000, with substreams at 720p set up, I'm running at 15-17% consistently, and about 9% on the gpu. Very nice! I may actually keep this hardware.

Thanks -- I should have been clearer, obviously video is a concern, but I already have 15 high 12mp dahaua cameras, I'm thinking this one will be more centered on one of the entranceways, and to also do audio. Thanks for the recomondations!

I'm using 15 Dahua in my BI build - (these: Dahua Cameras ) They're great, but don't have integrated mic. I know I can put on an external mic, but I'm thinking of adding one or two cameras that have a build in mic just to get sound --- I built this house, so we have plenty of cat6a run...

yup, that tracks. I'm pretty steady now at 25%. I'm sure I can optimize more -- I'm not using substreams, something I need to dive into the system is also in a server room and I'm accessing it through a remote desktop, which I'm sure is adding to the issues. but 25% with 15 cameras at 4000x3000...

so turns out a bunch.. almost half .. didn't have direct to disc encoding on. Turning it on for all cameras dropped me back down to 25%-30% cpu usage, 8% gpu usage. The system is a 6950x (no quicksync), 64 gigs ram, 2080ti gpu, with a fairly large storage array (6x 22tb seagate iron wolf, and...

ok, thanks.. very helpful! for whatever reason, I was crusing along at 40ish percent load on the cpu, then just added two today, and getting slammed -- I have all the cameras on 10fps, assuming that's not too much?

I just built a new setup, running 15 brand new dhaua cameras, with a somewhat dated system (which I'll upgrade at some point) -- I don't want to sacrifice quality, but are there any settings I should be mindful of, that don't really impact quality, but can significantly impact cpu usage (for...

always check the simple things first ...

ok, so put this in the bucket of "I'm a dumbass". most of the cameras are set up to record when triggered, not continuous. so every night, around 9is until around 3 am ish, no recordings, becuase.. no trigger. duh.

i have a multimonitor setup. BI is just another window, grab and move. Even works through a remote desktop.

ok. well there you go then... I clicked the box, I'll see what the logs say tonight.

I just updated yesterday, was running a 5.7 something for a week or so. Been trying to deal with this for over two weeks now.
