Yeah, I saw. Was worth a shot before contacting tech support.

Did you ever get this figured out? I've been getting them for a long time, finally annoyed as to what they are and how to fix it.

The more I think about it, the majority of that overhead is most likely because of constant array access (24/7 recording) that my other VMs aren't doing.

I set it lower. Got VM CPU usage down to 5%. Still really odd about overall usage. BI VM ups usage to 20% from 6% even though windows shows 5%, 10% is going somewhere. Regardless, guess I don't need a GPU afterall. Appreciate the help.

So pretty much same setup as mine. Oddly, it does report 10-12% usage now after playing with some of the VM settings and doing another restart. There just seems to be a 5-10% discrepancy. 5-7% load with two other VMs running and BI off. 22-25% with all 3 running. BI VM reports 10-12%. I can deal...

Yes, sub streams are enabled. 720, 1kbr, 15fps I agree, the 8500k isn't new. this system has been used as a bare metal since 2018 but just now converted to a vm host to consolidate some other desktops I've been running on the network.

So as to make sure this is read. CPU optimizations have already been done per the wiki. Intel quicksync is not an option. I'm currently running multiple VMs in unraid. One of which is my BI machine. A few months ago I decided to consolidate several of my bare metal machines into one server. the...

I do the same as you. Vlan specific to all cameras + NVR. Camera firewall rules are switch port based to drop all traffic except to the USG for NTP sync. NVR port shares the same rules as the main network vlan.

So you've never heard of Office 365? Many softwares do this. It's called annual license or perpetual license. It's cheaper annually because if you stop paying it stops working usually. If you buy it once you own it forever but support is on a time limit. Hence why it's more expensive.

Can't speak for all companies but most do way more testing than you realize. Unfortunately it's difficult to test in all environments that a device may see. Not all power sources are equal, not all Wifi sources are equal, etc. etc. But that's the beauty of firmware updates.

Being a project manager I can say your post reads like a total trunk slammer. If you ever want to run a successful business here's a few things you need to know. 1) Don't commit to a client a short deadline without having parts in hand. Maybe if you know they're on shelf items locally. I've...

What he said. D2D at h265+, 5 cameras, 15fps, CBR, 17 days ~3.4TB

I plan on replacing a couple of my 3s. I was real excited for the Poe until I found out it needed a hat. There are splitters made for the pi that are cheaper and easier to keep the height profile of the pi down.

Lol. Again, look up ground loops. The reason why the APs have shielded connectors is so that the end user has a choice as to where they want the shield side grounded. I didn't bring up lightning strikes...you did. And you referenced it to STP. I corrected you by saying grounding a shield isn't...

Nice picture. Ground loop. Do some research then think about why that AP might have a shield grounded jack. Lightning strikes have nothing to do with shielding. That's the job of the TVSS in line device that should be installed on each run with a proper earth ground. Nope, I'm saying it's...
