computer

Hey everybody. New member here. I am caught up in the Q See situation and have been doing a lot of reading here trying to figure out what to do. There is so much great information but it can be overwhelming. I have about decided to try going with Blue Iris and have been looking at computers on...

I’m just now starting to put together my Blue Iris system and I’m searching for a computer to be used for solely this purpose. Fenderman has kindly provided me guidance in what to look for so my search is on. I’m looking for an Elitedesk / Optiplex / Prodesk i5-8500 or better with a minimum of...

I currently have three 2mp cameras and am looking for the lowest budget BI setup possible. I may add up to 3 more in the future. I am looking to get it off the ground as cheaply as possible and then finish it at a later date when finances are available. Below is a list of what I am looking for...

Hi All! Appreciate any advice in advance on this! I'm setting up a system that needs to be able to run 12x IPC-HDW5830R-Z (8MP (96MP total) Turrets) smoothly, so I presume I'm going to need something like an i7-7700k, 16GB Ram, WD SSD 500GB + Some Purples. Anyone setup anything like this...

Hi all, I have been a spectator to this forum quiet some time and enjoyed a lot of good topics, tips and hints so far. Thanks a lot for that! While I have been using my current computer/camera setup a lot, I recently added more HD cameras (Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I), totaling 7 cameras, and now...

I've gathered that the machines cited below will serve my needs and now I'm shopping eBay. What specs would you look for in a Dell Optiplex SFF or a HP Elitedesk SFF if you wanted to build a robust but inexpensive high rez, four camera, BI based system for a small cabin that you would be...

Recently remodeled house and ran cat 6 throughout house (inside /outside). Wify let me setup an IT closet so have ups, switch, sonos, hue, hdmi matiix with simple control software in small rack. I setup a cisco 28 Gbit poe switch thinking i would connect to ~8 POE IP Cams outside, as well as...

I'm sure this has come up before but maybe someone can point me in to right direction. I'm looking for the best way to tie down a small PC, A 4 bay external HD, and a Router to a ventilated rack shelf. I've looked at straps, telecom nylon ties, bungees, and Velcro tape. This is difficult only...

Lenovo M Series tiny desktop PCs What does anybody think about the Lenovo M series PCs for a small system using the BI software? Does anyone have any experience with this PC? New: Rugged, powerful, and astonishingly compact. The 1L ThinkCentre M700 Tiny desktop is MIL-SPEC tested, so it can...

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but one more time if you don,t mind. I'm presently drowning in data. My system will need to work with BI, and need to handle 6 cameras (3 poe & 3 WiFi), with HD resolution and 15 to 20fps. However, they will all be streaming only on...

My questions are: 1) If I'm buying a new computer for a new security system with 6 IP cams, (most computers have only one Ethernet port, if any). So is the signal compromised in any way if I use a port hub to interface all 6 cams to access my computer? I noticed that many NVRs have multiple...

People I'm a little lost and I need your assistance, in various locations I have installed 12 cameras and dvr's from which I get the picture from these cameras and I can see them in my browser from a remote location (my home). Now I want to record to a HDD the feeds from my cameras, so I want to...

Hi people, I want to build a pc with which I'll be able to monitor and record the feeds to an HDD from 12 ip cams from various locations/cities in one screen, I'm based in Greece and my budget is around 350/400 euros or 425 US$. The use of this build will be only for surveillance and...

Hi, I work in a small business and I've recently been promoted to manager. I have about 56 cameras at my facility which includes 3 PDZ cameras and the rest 1.3 MP IP cameras. The camera's are generic no brand from China. The owner bought these with the NVR but the problem is 1. NVR is very...

I plan on setting up a semi-automated (on a schedule) recording rig with Blue Iris and a single camera to record basketball games on a full length court. The camera will be mounted on the short side. It needs to capture audio, have as high res as possible and have a wide fov to cover the entire...

Hi guys! Even though I have several years of experience looking for a good surveillance system, this is still kind of a newbie question, since I'm not an expert in any aspect. So could I get your ideas what kind of system you would recommend for me? I have a warehouse/garage that is used by a...

Here is what I want. 12mp, PTZ, dome, wiper blade, wireless ethernet and power, a light shade of blue to match my house, made in USA, available on amazon, costco warranty, under $100, 40x zoom, it has to install itself as I'm not sure I can move much further than my bed, the kitchen, and my...

Running BI 3 and it is the last updated version. For some reason the software after being activated will only work for less than 30 minutes and then it freezes the computer. Using the BI android app it will work on my Samsung 5 at first away from my home wi-fi but then after a few minutes it...

I plan to install about 26 Hikvision 3 MP cams around my office and factory, but we may be going through some renos here so in the mean time I want to install about 5, since I will eventually use these same 5 when I add the extra 21 cams I'm hoping I can have a temporary nvr / computer solution...

Sorry if this has already been covered. I've seen discussion of similar issues, but with other problems being discussed, I'm a little confused as to what to do. Just received 2 more Hik 2032's from China (stickers say firmware 5.2.8 and dated 1/2015)..I power them up (IR lights turn on) but I...

Anyone running the new i7 Haswell processors, the i7-5960X, i7-5930K and i7-5820K. Wonder how many 3MP cameras you can get on a PC with these processors and BlueIris. Finally they are offering the consumer what has been available to the Xeon server grade processors for 2 years with and 8 core i7...
