Wondering if it's time to retire the i7-3770K I have. However, I'm not finding much on DeepStack general sizing guidelines.

I have 18 cameras running fine on the i7-3770K with the optimizations at around 10-20% CPU.

I want to add DeepStack to 12 of the 18 cameras.

Looks like my DeepStack I want setup are

IPC-HDW5231R-ZE x2 (2MP)
IPC-T5442T-ZE x6 (4MP)
IPC-HDW2231R-ZS x2 (2MP)
Amcrest IP5M-T1179E (5MP)
IPC-K35A (3MP)

I think I'm using substream for video on all of them.

Will an i7-6700 with a PNY Quadro P400 V2 GPU suffice for this?

A 6th gen with that GPU should be fine.

But since you have that so optimized, I would go ahead and try adding Deepstack one camera at a time and see what that old 3rd gen can do!

Exactly LOL. Might as well see how far you can take it.

With the optimization you have done and the low CPU, maybe you also have perfect fields of view and it only needs to send two images and if so then the CPU will stay low unless all cams are triggering at the same time.

Min contrast and duration comes down to your field of view and what you are trying to capture.

Consider that you can purchase an i5-8500 for about he same price as the i7-6700. The 8500 is more powerful and is will run w11.

ok 12 cameras with DeepStack enabled. nothing on fire yet

CPU went to 66% when 5 cameras just "fired" red rectangle (recording). CPU was not horrible, was just a spike. Seems more like 12-26% is "typical" now but the spikes shoot up. I may be fine. I'll watch it and let you know!

The bad news is no Alerts processed since I enabled these cameras for DeepStack. Last alerts were 9 minutes back. And I saw a car drive by since then on one of the DeepStack enabled cameras.

WOW that is awesome!!!!!

And you may decide to do further optimizations with deepstack after you learn more about it.

For many of my cameras, I turned deepstack off during the day and run it at night only. That helped tremendously as the triggers are usually less during the night.

Like your 5442 for example have AI built in - are you using that? Of course it won't draw the rectangle in BI, but that can take some motion detection load off BI.

Now you have to go to the alerts tab and tell it what you want alerts on.

Nope never tried the AI on the 5442. I know nothing about this, I'm just decent with computers LOL.

Take a look at this thread:

Who uses Dahua AI capable cameras? Reliable AI for triggering events? Pro's/con's?

It has come to my attention that certain Dahua cameras come with built in AI that distinguishes between human & cars. I was unaware of this. Well, always saw the AI word used in the reviews but never really thought about it because I thought it was a Dahua NVR integration only. I am currently...

How long does it take to mark the Alert as "car"? I see an alert from a car that just drove by (correctly kept by Blue Iris) but I don't see the "car" designation this time. (worked earlier today)
