Hey Guys,
I'm trying to determine if BI is going to fit for my uses. One of the things that I want (I have with my current NVR) is 30FPS and no dropped frames during recording. I've got Blue Iris setup as a Virtual Machine on a server (AMD 8370E, given 4 CPU's and 8GB of RAM) and CPU usage is sitting around 75% with 4 1080P cameras going.
The issue that I'm having is that anytime BI records, it skips around quite a bit. It will only play 2-3 seconds of video and then jump around badly like it's skipping quite a few frames. It's extremely irritating. I have the direct to disk option enabled, it's storing it to a local hard disk (non SSD, 7200RPM) and then moving it to a NAS after the clip is cut.
I'm trying to determine how to fix it because I'm currently in the BI demo phase and haven't purchased it yet. If I can fix this issue then I'll purchase it and call it a day. Would possibly moving the VM to an SSD make a difference? I don't have an extra SSD lying around but could go get one easily, i just wasn't sure if it would make a difference.
Thanks!
