    Upgrade BI PC to SSD

    Replaced the HD with an SSD leaving the non SSD as storage for the recordings. Also upgraded to BI5 and enabled the sub streams for each camera. Difference is like night and day. CPU sitting on 15-20% and memory used <1GB used by BI, not bad for a 2014 Core-i3 and 8GB of RAM!

    Upgrade BI PC to SSD

    Christ. Install an SSD for the Operating system to help performance there, i.e. boot time etc. Use the existing non SSD hard drive to store the recordings from BI. Then install v5 of BI combined with the Substream thing wittaj mentioned which should drop the CPU usage.

    Upgrade BI PC to SSD

    Thanks for your reply. I am on the older 4.x BlueIris but support expired so I don't think I can upgrade it without paying the £65 fee again. I wasn't aware of the Substream option, I will look into it. Sounds like I might get away with upgrading the main drive to an SSD to help the OS...

    Upgrade BI PC to SSD

    Thanks for your reply. I am deliberating ditching the PC for an NVR now I have done some more research. I really just need it to record and be able to access the cameras via an app, I don't need fancy bells an whistles and a Hikvision NVR is about £200 so I could ditch the PC and also a POE...

    Upgrade BI PC to SSD

    Hi I have a 2012 (I think) Dell PC running BlueIris. Its Core i3 and 8GB RAM. Running 5x cameras. 3 Hikvision and 2 IMou Wifi jobbies from Amazon. CPU sits about 90% and RAM about 6-7GB most of the time but its been like that for years and not skipped a beat. However, its painfully slow to...
