hardware

I want to build a NVR by myself.It should be for up to 8 cameras, software will be Agent DVR. Important for me are the tracking, motion detection and AI functions. This means either CUDA or google coral is necessary. As this system could also be a NAS, 2 SSDs will be built in. Which hardware and...

Hi Been browsing eBay and the hardware guide on this forum for CPU models Just wanted to check if people think the i7-8700k is still a good option with plenty of longevity for 8 x 4k poe cams ? Or is there affordable 9th Gen out? It was last updated around 6 months ago Thinking it'd time to...

I have a GV-FE5303 which I installed on my property several years ago. I wanted to take it down to paint and found that I had misplaced the supplied Torx wrench. I have almost every size of Torx (tamper resistant and otherwise) bit but nothing seems to fit the screws. Even worse, none of the...

Hello, friends, how are you? I have an alarm device from Hikvision(Axpro64), and I need a way to help me change the imei number on the device. Recently, I opened the cover of a device and noticed that there was an electronic piece of the sim card(Sim Com)"I will attach a picture of it" bearing...

I'm a recently joined member who's spent lots of time reading threads about cameras, nvr software and network considerations. As I am putting together my initial foray into this endeavor I'd like to run my current plan by others. I'm starting out with 5 dahua cameras from Empiretech - all 4...

Hello, What is the recommended resources required to run BI's latest version for 14 cameras with AI on 5 of them? Is there any particular Mini PC/NUC suggested for the above scenario? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a dedicated Blue Iris PC and have been going through the "Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris" page here in the Wiki section and using some of the information there have found a few refurbished/renewed systems that I am considering. I am not sure which one would be...

I'm looking for a really beefy server build recommendation. Preferably something I can purchase from CDWG (School district needs). We've currently got around 50 cameras (most old axis cameras) and a few newer axis cameras running on a custom built i7-7700k w/16gb ram and 12TB of space. The...

I've been installing Blue Iris systems, including the network hardware, for several years, and some users are looking for long term support for these systems to ensure they have someone to turn to if there are problems. Does anyone know of companies in the SF Bay Area that might do this? Thanks

Hi I am new to IP security, but have read a lot and am experienced in IT and DIY, however do not have the time right now to do my own full setup. Thus, i am looking for someone to work with on a paid basis to assist and/or fully implement the design/setup/implementation of my BI configuration...

Hi, Had two questions : 1. What would an average life of CPU be if it operates 24/7 with motion detection with Blue Iris for let's say 4-8 cameras? 2. With a similar setup as above, how much electricity bill can I expect? Thanks!!

I'm currently tasked with upgrading/gradually replacing the IP Cam system at work. We have two Q-See NVRs with 42 Q-See cameras. Yes, I hate it. I'm looking for advice on hardware and software to use as a replacement. My plan is to get hardware that will support about 20 cameras to start, but...

Hey guys, a quick question.. I've had Blue Iris up and running for a week with NO problems or issues on a very marginally powered Win7 PC... which I plan to upgrade when I get a chance to get around to it.. It's been up and working fine.. no problems with the remote access etc.. So, I...

looking to buy a computer dedicated to blue iris, is this one good? Will eventually work my way up to 12+ cameras. Dell Outlet Inspiron 3668 Desktop Processor: Intel Core 7th Generation i5-7400 Processor (Quad Core, up to 3.50 GHz, 6M Cache, 65W) Windows 10 Home 64bit English 1TB SATA Hard...

Hey Folks...Happy New Year to all! Got myself a new rig for Xmas and I wanted to see how BI would perform on this new monster CPU. The Intel Core i9-7980XE is by all accounts severe overkill for most applications. But during my last upgrade cycle (about 2 years ago), I went through the same...

So I have a NUC setup with the following i5-4250U CPU @ 1.30 Ghz 8GB RAM 4TB WD Elements connected via USB for recording 256GB SSD for OS and Blue Iris Configuration to sit on. Windows 10 The NUC doesn't perform any other operation apart from this and running a Plex server which is not used...

Hi all! I am uograding my blueiris server. I choose an i5-7400 with a te 630 as integrated gpu. So the million dollar question: how much important is the frequency of the ram? Ddr4 at 2400 la a good choice or i need a much higher frequency? Like 2600 or up? Thanks

Hello All, Im from Holland and im automating the house and garden with a Fibaro system and cams. After installing some Foscams I bought one Dahua. bad choice now I needed all new cams for the quality. So I ended up with: Fibaro Home system 2 1x Doorbird Intercom Synology SS for 6 cams 4x...

I think this CPU will work just fine for my needs - but I wanted to ask as I'm putting together a custom DVR/Media PC. The media demands will be very very light, so I don't anticipate much CPU usage outside of recording video - for the most part. It may serve up to three DLNA stream *at most*...

I have a question regarding how Blue Iris handle motion detection. For example, I now use a 8ch NVR (N6200-8E) a cheap china disk based NVR. It records the h.264 streams that it grabs directly without transcoding from the Cameras. The NVR itself does not use any motion detection but instead uses...

I know this topic has been addressed in other threads, but I'm looking for a some basic suggestions. I currently use Blue Iris to manage six IP cameras. These cameras range from old Android phones being used as cameras to mid-level Axis professional cameras. I may eventually increase to eight...

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...

So, I'm working towards building an IP camera system (all 1080p) with a total of 16 cameras. On the BI website, the requirements for "Many and/or HD Cameras" are fairly vague. For example, Intel core i7 doesn't mean much without the specs (4 core, 6 core, frequency, L2/L3 Cache, etc.). The...

Greetings, I'm looking at moving to BI, and have a few questions regarding recommended specs and NVR’s (for our server build): · What HW specs would one recommend for 22 cameras @ 1080p and 5 FPS (approx.)? · How many cameras can BI run with an Intel Atom D525 CPU (1.8GHz, dual...

Hey Everyone, I thought it might be nice to get some hardware specification listed on the Hikvision NVR's as the sheets provided online do not provide this information. This can be useful in making a decision on which NVR to get besides the number of ports and license for number of channels...
