Camera NVR CPU usage instead of PC

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here and apologies if this has already been discussed, I just could not find a thread concerning this issue.
Basically I have three different systems: Zmodo Spoe system (with NVR and 4x 720p cameras), Kguard analog cameras connected to 8 channel NVR (DVR?) and a PTZ camera (probably a Chinese manufacturer), which I am able to view and control from IE.
I am trying to gather all these cameras in one software/browser (under one page) to view.
I have tried using BlueIris and Ispy. Although their CPU utilization is very high when I add these cameras.
Whenever I use Zmodo's Zviewer and Kguard's Kview softwares, they practically do not change CPU usage at all.
As far as I understand, they use NVR's built-in CPU and just display video on my PC.
Is it possible to accomplish the same with any software, so that NVR's CPU is utilized instead of PC's but all these different cameras can be viewed under one software? All these NVR's have built-in motion detection capabilities and hard drives, so I will be using PC just to view them and not to record anything locally.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum..what is likely happening is that when you use the viewer its displaying the substream not the full res stream, that lowers cpu usage. When using blue iris, the most important think to do is to enable direct to disk recording so that the video is not rencoded.
You can also try pulling the substream instead of the main stream..you will need the correct URL..
 
Thanks Fenderman for reply, tried mainstream and substream alternation on Kguard but no change, CPU on PC still goes up when using BlueIris or Ispy.
Could not find Substream/Mainstream settings on Zviewer though.
When using Zviewer and Kview (Zmodo and Kguard NVR software) CPU does not even change, maybe +2-3%, but when using PC software (Blue Iris or Ispy) CPU spikes right away...
Any other ideas?

did you change blue iris setting to direct to disk?also blue iris in demo mode doesnt utilize direct to disk so you cant really test it that way...
