    When is Hardware Acceleration Used in BI?

    I'm a bit confused as I notice no difference in using it or not using it on my small two camera system. I have "direct to disk" specified. If I wasn't going to direct to disk and decoding it and adding overlays, is that where I would see the benefit?

    Hardware Requirement- which Motherboard is best suited to run BI for 24/7 operation?

    Re: Hardware Requirement- which Motherboard is best suited to run BI for 24/7 operati Another vote for building my own system here! My reasoning was to get as small a case as possible so that it would fit in my family room entertainment console. Mine is an i3-6100 (max four cameras in my...

    HD Acceleration Not Working with Skylake i3 (Intel HD530) With Latest Drivers on Win7

    Can't find the cameras when I turn on HD Accel (h264). I'm running BI 4.4.3.3 as a service with a brand new Gigabyte GA-H110M-A mobo and Intel i3-6100 CPU (Intel HD Graphics 530), on Win7 Ultimate-64. I've upgraded to the latest Intel HD Graphics drivers (20.19.15.4501). Any suggestions as to...

    My Intel Skylake Core i3-6100 System Build

    You're right I didn't have it on. Turning it on dropped it to 14%. Thanks!

    Intel Skylake Core i3-6100 3.7ghz, 8gb ram using a Gigabyte GA-H110M-A LGA 1151 mATX motherboard. I have two 2mp, 4mm Nellys NSC-202-BT running at, 20fps, 8192kbps continuous with hardware acceleration on. CPU Passmark is 5334 and it is running a bit less than 20% with less than 700mb of ram...

    BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server (Solved)

    Re: BlueIris causing hard lockups on new server Windows 7 not updating is a Windows bug. If you have an old install ISO, the number of updates needed overwhelms the update database and causes it to sit for ever at downloading. I fixed this problem a while back with a computer at work but I...

    Camera Placement and Focal Length Recommendations

    Here is a pic of the front of my house. The thick red arrows are one recommendation from someone else. The thin red lines are what I thought I needed, which you can ignore - please. The red/green dots are where I was thinking about putting the cameras. My preference would be one in the...

    Anyone Using a Netgear JGS516PE 16 Port POE Switch?

    Is anyone using a Netgear JGS516PE? I'm thinking about getting one to use for cameras and a couple of POE APs. It is VLAN capable and as soon as I can get around my FIOS Quantum router, I want to split off cameras and BI server from everything else.

    Blue Iris on i3 NUC with 5 cams

    Encouraging news and I was thinking about using a NUC6i5SYH myself. I love those devices. The very low end models make great HTPCs.

    Just Built My Blue Iris Server - Leave in Win 7 Ultimate or Upgrade to Win 10?

    Just bought the hardware and built my Blue Iris server today. It is an Intel Skylake i3-6100, Gigabyte GA-H110M-A, 8GB of memory, 60gb SSD and a 3TB WD Purple. Right now it is running Win 7K Ultimate 64. But I'm wondering if I need to upgrade it to Win 10? For reference, I'll have a max of...

    Hardware Req for 16-20 3MP Cams

    Don't mean to answer for someone else but it is all heat dissipation. The boxes are small, the fans are small and high GHZ CPUs generate more heat. So the CPUs in the NUC are clocked way lower than, say, a desktop cpu with a big fan on the CPU and 1 ore more big fans to get the heat out of the...

    Hardware Req for 16-20 3MP Cams

    If they can find it. :D It is pretty easy to hide a 5" square 2" thick box. And yes, I agree that the i7 NUCs are not worth the money as they are only marginally (very marginally) faster than the i5s. If I go this way with my BI build, I'll make sure and document the build and set up for BI...

    Hardware Req for 16-20 3MP Cams

    I love the NUCs. I have five myself (HTPCs and desktops). None running BI but I'm thinking about a NUC6i5SYH which has a 15watt i5-6260U processor (4314 Passmark). It also has an mSATA slot for an SSD and can support up to 9.5mm thick 2.5" HDD. Prices for them are about $350 without memory...

    CPU Question

    Yep, I hear ya. I have a license for Win10 already and I would have to buy a WD Purple drive no matter which way I went. With the system I'm looking at, $129 for CPU and Motherboard, $33 for 8gb memory, $50 for a case and I'm at $210. I have the SSD already and would need to buy a Purple HDD...

    CPU Question

    Yep, I see these recommendations constantly on here but I hate the size of these computers. I'm wanting something smaller. I've toyed with using a powerful NUC (I have five of them now that I use for desktops and HTPCs) but the cost is just too outrageous for that platform. Size is great...

    CPU Question

    I'm about to build myself a Blue Iris box and have found a sweet deal on a local computer store offering a 6th Gen Intel Core i3-6100 @ 3.70GHz (2 core / 4 threads) and Gigabyte GA-H110M-A motherboard for $129. I would combine that with 8gb of memory, a 120gb SSD and a 3TB or 4TB WD Purple...

    Help with Camera Selection

    Would a Lenovo M58SFF Be Good Enough for two 3mp Cameras

    They are on sale locally for $89 and I would upgrade it to 8gb of memory and run Win7 with Blue Iris. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 at 2.93 GHz. The plan is to use a 60gb SSD for the OS and a 3-4tb drive for video storage. I'm looking to use no more than two 1080p cameras.
