Hello,
I have about 20-25 IP cameras - LTS and Dahua at my property. I am in the process of moving away from an NVR towards Blue Iris (BI).
I believe I need a dedicated or semi-dedicated desktop to smoothly run Blue Iris (BI).
As it is the holiday season here in the U.S, I want to see if I can get a good deal on a new desktop, either pre-assembled, or I can buy the components and ask someone to assemble them.
I am wondering do I really need an i7 processor or will an i5 processor suffice?
I plan to use that desktop solely for Blue Iris, but I also want to future proof it, so if i7 is the way to go, then so be it.
I believe I also need a graphics card, etc.
Any advice is welcome. I do not want to shortchange and get a machine that will barely meet the computing requirements, but if I can save a bit, that will be great.
Thank you
