    i7 4770K vs i5 10500T

    Passmark speed I7-4770K 7116 I5-10500T 10757 If you are using substreams (highly recommended) I see no reason to change. If your 4770 is not running above 70% cpu load it is just a waste of money. Also 64GB is a waste of memory, BI will not use it. The T processor are not designed to...

    Long Time Listener, First Time Caller - Dahua/Empire 4k Color Cams

    All the cameras are way to high. On the drive way camera someone can smash the crap out of the car, all the camera will do is tell you what happened. Mount the cameras ba 7 ft or less. If the video can not ID the bad guy you have wasted your time and money.

    What is a decent IP cam for my budget?

    IP cameras are ok to use. Most of us use IP cameras. BUT they are not directly access for the internet. the IP cameras are on the home network only, blocked from access to the internet. The cameras are connected to an NVR or a VMS(like Blue Iris), which is accessed from the internet. On the...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Wireless service do not provide a static IP addresses for home cellular networks in the United States. This may be country dependent. Your wireless IP address may change during an on going conversation. Look at ngok or Hamachi for remote access to a home cellular network (I have NOT used these)

    Extended Run Help

    make sure the cable is terminated correctly, to the standard. Most cheap testers just test for continuity, if the twists are not correct, it will not work. Also the cable must be pure copper, NO CCA (copper clad aluminum) . Does the cable cross or run parallel to High voltage power.

    how do you isolate cameras from the inetent?

    Words to live by "Assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information" You are all assuming that the IP address and MAC address are not being spoofed. Physical separation is the ONLY safe solution.

    Choppy video being recorded

    As you do not have hardware acceleration, I would recommend enabling substreams. Also run only the stable version of bi. 5.4.9.18 or 5.5.1.20

    Choppy video being recorded

    You will almost always have problems with BI and a VM. BI is more or less a realtime program that is running 100% of the time, so when it need resources it need them now. Provide a screen shot of the Blue Iris Status camera tab, full info.

    Random loss of video or black capture in BI not sure why

    Multi CPU systems do not run all programs effectively. There is a shared memory managing problem. Database and AI programs are specifically written to use multiple CPU.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    @Rob2020 The number of cases is based upon the number of tests, If you do not test than no cases. The tests for covid are not very accurate, they are hit of miss. The only number that may be valid is the number of deaths from covid and these numbers are highly suspect.

    "LAN Only" / OpenVPN access

    ALSO HAVE AN asus router. There is a problem with the asus router in the order that it does things. With OpenVPN you are suppose to be 100% on the local network. But in some cases this is not true. For example if you block a MAC address from internet access it is not viewable with OpenVPN...
