Please advise on your system. I would appreciate what resolution and frame rate your using as well as what CPU and what your normal usage is.My CPU usage is normal on 4.5.0.0 x64, with 22 cameras.
You should tell us what system you are running...Please advise on your system. I would appreciate what resolution and frame rate your using as well as what CPU and what your normal usage is.
I have 15 Hikvision cams running, no hardware acceleration, and it runs at 90%.
i7-3770K. 640 Megapixels per second (See this in Blue Iris Status window, Cameras tab). CPU usage is low 40s with a couple of screens pulling jpeg frames out of Blue Iris but with Blue Iris otherwise running in service mode with the GUI closed.My CPU usage is normal on 4.5.0.0 x64, with 22 cameras.
I am running 4.5.0.0 X64. i7-2600@3.4. 16 Gb RAM. 1Tb Samsung SSD for Win 8.1pro OS and BI software. Seagate 6Tb Suveilance HDD for storage on 6Gb sata. All cams on Buffalo and Zyxel POE switches. Only recording when triggered.You should tell us what system you are running...
Thanks. Maybe I'll try running as a service.i7-3770K. 640 Megapixels per second (See this in Blue Iris Status window, Cameras tab). CPU usage is low 40s with a couple of screens pulling jpeg frames out of Blue Iris but with Blue Iris otherwise running in service mode with the GUI closed.
Is 640 Mbps the per cam bit rate for your setup? I have that on each cam.Thanks. Maybe I'll try running as a service.
what resolution are the camera set to? Are you remoting into the system or viewing on a local monitor? Are you running the demo or the licensed version?I am running 4.5.0.0 X64. i7-2600@3.4. 16 Gb RAM. 1Tb Samsung SSD for Win 8.1pro OS and BI software.

Cams are all limited to 21 fps. Using BI format direct to disc.

enable hardware acceleration and you will see much lower numbers..also ensure that direct to disc is enabled for each camera...more than once I have seen folks with many cams miss a few...2688x1520. viewing live on a local monitor. licensed version.
Checked each cam and BI DVR/d2d is set for all. I tried running as service based on what "bp2008" said earlier + I am also running the console to view on local monitor. No change, still high cpu %. In addition to that I checked "Yes (H264)" on hardware acceleration drop down, stopped and restarted both console and service, now no signal from cams. Changed hardware acceleration drop down to "Yes +VideoPostProc", stopped and restarted both console and service, no signal from cams. Do I need to change other settings for the cams when I enable hardware acceleration? Which hardware acceleration should I enable, (which is best)?enable hardware acceleration and you will see much lower numbers..also ensure that direct to disc is enabled for each camera...more than once I have seen folks with many cams miss a few...
What fps do you suggest?21fps seems like overkill, but if your system can handle it.
DONT USE VPP... you cannot run as a service, windows 7 and hardware acceleration. Change one.Checked each cam and BI DVR/d2d is set for all.

OK. Here is what I did to fix some of the issues with high CPU usage:I'm running Win 8.1 pro
If you set hardware decoding to off you have disabled hardware acceleration...OK. Here is what I did to fix some of the issues with high CPU usage:
Changed all cams to 15fps. Found an additional place where a drop down references Hardware Acceleration on the Camera Properties/Video Tab.
Must have that Hardware Decoding drop down tab selected "NO". It is selected "default" by default.
Now I get signal on all cams with Hardware Acceleration selected in "Blue Iris/Options/Cameras/Intel HD Hardware Acceleration/YES (H264).
Disabled two of the cams and I'm running at 71% cpu.
