    8 channel video encoder Hardware Recommendation

    I have an old CCTV system where I installed a 16 channel Geovision card maybe 13 years ago. Along side it I have a much newer IP Camera system running BlueIris. I would like to retire the old GeoVision PC but would like to save the cameras. I have 16 BNC cables coming into my office. Some of...

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    I'm a bit embarrassed but I figured it out. I was forcing the anamorphic size to a very high resolution on 6 cameras. I dropped it from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080 and my CPU usage went down almost 50%. Just saved myself a ton of money. To figure it out I randomly disabled groups of cameras and...

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    I'm curious if I can simply replace the CPU. It's a Lenovo, so I'm not sure if it is soldered onto the motherboard

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    Great heads up! Thank you. I'll probably have to go to Intel's website to see which CPUs have that

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    Thank you! As an engineer 20 years ago I deplore Dell and HP so I'll be buying a Lenovo with those specs :D

    Can you give me an example of the specs of the refurb to ensure I find something comparable? Thanks a ton!

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    This will most likely be what I end up doing and then installing a KVM switch. I'll probably just build a PC. Buying a top of the line pre built from a vendor is about 2400 and if I build it myself it will be about 1500. I am the end user :)

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    I'm curious as to why I need a professional windows license. The version of windows 10 shouldn't effect processing power of the hardware unless the consumer version is filled with process hungry garbage.

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    Unfortunately that will not work for me. Only thing I achieved is reducing the RAM usage from 8.5 to 6.7. Can the PC I specified above even handle 50-60 cameras? I have only 35 now so even if I got sub streaming to work, won't I still need another PC?

    Recommended PC Setup for 50-60 IP cameras

    I have not but after looking into it I'm not sure it is for me. To ensure I'm accurately understanding it, I would like good resolution on the monitors whenever I am viewing them live. If sub streaming is configured, i would loose live stream quality but the recordings would be a higher...

    Hello all. I have a business where I currently have about 35 IP cameras running. When I'm done with my build out I will have about 50-60 of them. I have 35 cameras running on a single Lenovo TS140 with an Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 Quad Core Processor (8M Cache, 3.2 GHz) and 16GB of ram I...

    SMTP won't work

    The SMTP Email settings will not work. I've tried it with Gmail and the only way it will work is if I set gmail to allow less secure apps to access your account which i rather not do https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en I've also tried hotmail and godaddy smtp servers which...

    Cannot get clips to move to NAS

    If I check the box to not monitor free space and the Archive folder reaches its max how will the system know to delete the oldest? I created the archive folder on the local disk and it is working fine so I believe the issue is Blue Iris speaking to the NAS. I have no problems accessing the NAS...

    Cannot get clips to move to NAS

    I have Blue Iris running and would like to store clips older than 7 days to a NAS folder. The first 7 days are stored on a local Raid 1 SSD drive. After 7 days they are moved to a NAS drive until 30 days. After 30 days I would like them to move to an Archive folder on the same NAS and when...

After the direct to disk I am in the range of 39-55% CPU usage which I believe is...

    BI CPU Usage

    When you say direct to disk, all new clips are saved to a local SSD drive. Is that what you mean? What is "dvr container", Help does not mention it I cut the live preview rate in half. It helped but not really a lot I have the cameras at the max frame rate Combined is between 6-7 mB/s...

    BI Stops Recording

    I've been using BI for a number of years now. I had to expand my number of cameras by more than double. I bought a new PC and have 21 cameras on it. Problem is that the software stops recording every couple days. This is mission critical for my business and I need this to work. The green...
