I have an old CCTV system where I installed a 16 channel Geovision card maybe 13 years ago. Along side it I have a much newer IP Camera system running BlueIris. I would like to retire the old GeoVision PC but would like to save the cameras. I have 16 BNC cables coming into my office. Some of...

I'm a bit embarrassed but I figured it out. I was forcing the anamorphic size to a very high resolution on 6 cameras. I dropped it from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 and my CPU usage went down almost 50%. Just saved myself a ton of money. To figure it out I randomly disabled groups of cameras and...

I'm curious if I can simply replace the CPU. It's a Lenovo, so I'm not sure if it is soldered onto the motherboard

Great heads up! Thank you. I'll probably have to go to Intel's website to see which CPUs have that

I haven't heard of the quicksync graphic processor. What should I be looking for in a CPU?

Thank you! As an engineer 20 years ago I deplore Dell and HP so I'll be buying a Lenovo with those specs :D

Can you give me an example of the specs of the refurb to ensure I find something comparable? Thanks a ton!

This will most likely be what I end up doing and then installing a KVM switch. I'll probably just build a PC. Buying a top of the line pre built from a vendor is about 2400 and if I build it myself it will be about 1500. I am the end user :)

I'm curious as to why I need a professional windows license. The version of windows 10 shouldn't effect processing power of the hardware unless the consumer version is filled with process hungry garbage.

Unfortunately that will not work for me. Only thing I achieved is reducing the RAM usage from 8.5 to 6.7. Can the PC I specified above even handle 50-60 cameras? I have only 35 now so even if I got sub streaming to work, won't I still need another PC?

I have not but after looking into it I'm not sure it is for me. To ensure I'm accurately understanding it, I would like good resolution on the monitors whenever I am viewing them live. If sub streaming is configured, i would loose live stream quality but the recordings would be a higher...

Hello all. I have a business where I currently have about 35 IP cameras running. When I'm done with my build out I will have about 50-60 of them. I have 35 cameras running on a single Lenovo TS140 with an Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 Quad Core Processor (8M Cache, 3.2 GHz) and 16GB of ram I...

I was able to get this to work by setting blue iris to run with the specific user account, not the local one as shown below as directed from the customer support from blue iris I bought the following drives, sorry they aren't SSD as i originally stated...

The SMTP Email settings will not work. I've tried it with Gmail and the only way it will work is if I set gmail to allow less secure apps to access your account which i rather not do https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en I've also tried hotmail and godaddy smtp servers which...

If I check the box to not monitor free space and the Archive folder reaches its max how will the system know to delete the oldest? I created the archive folder on the local disk and it is working fine so I believe the issue is Blue Iris speaking to the NAS. I have no problems accessing the NAS...
