I was not able to confirm if that model supports remote Wi-Fi chimes.

Wow! Looks like I'm in for a long read. Thanks.

Are you referring to a thread? A search for "doorbell 101" brings only this thread.

Hello, I currently have a Ring Pro with 2 Ring chimes. I'm done with that device limitations and problems so I'm on the market for a new one. The market has changed a lot, and to be honest I'm a bit lost and having difficulties finding THE camera I'd like. May be I'm setting the bar too...

What are the minimum requirements then, say, for up to 15 HD cams?

Attaching a monitor on the VMware host only gives access to the host Linux based OS, not the VMs. But using the vSphere console viewer instead of RDP doesn't change the BI CPU usage. Is running BI on a VM actually supported? What about using Hyper-V instead?

I wasn't before, precisely because I'm running it on a VM. I changed it based on posts I saw here. Didn't make much of a difference. With all cams and web service disabled, the BI services hovers 45 to 50% , BlueIrisService.exe is at 0 but the other BlueIris.exe process is taking it all. And...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The resolution of the cams is 1920x1080. and I've set the frame rate at 15. But with the cameras disabled, I don't see why it would matter.

There are no hidden cams. Agreed the box is old. But with 0 cams, over 50% CPU usage is not normal nor acceptable, no matter the system you're using. Also note that the same system was running BI with several cams with a (I would say normal) less than 10% CPU usage with 3 cams. An update...

Hello, I have been running BI (registered, please note) for several months now. At some point, doing regular updates, CPU usage became very high. I have updated BI several times since hoping the problem would be solved. To no avail apparently. During that same time, I also upgraded my cams...
