    Blue Iris in VM with External Backup (via USB) ? General question

    @biggen Good to have additional information there. It sounds like my plan to give 4 cores and 12GB RAM should work okay with 4 to 6 4MP Cameras. I'll see how it goes. I just have to get my head around all the options :) Edit: I was just looking over flea-bay and found a 4TB WD Purple for $95...

    Blue Iris in VM with External Backup (via USB) ? General question

    I might have to consider that, though technically USB 3 has better performance than Gigabit ethernet. I'll might have to buy a NAS for external storage eventually. The old DNS-323 I have collecting dust wont cut it because it only does the equivalent of 100mbps speed (I think I got it to max...

    Blue Iris in VM with External Backup (via USB) ? General question

    I am very new to Blue Iris and NVR's in general. I apologise if this type of question is posted elsewhere, please redirect me if it exists. I am currently in process of building machines in a VE using a Core i7 4770K with 24GB RAM. I have ProxMox VE running bare metal with a home automation...
