I had Hardware accelerated decode turned on in V4 and it did a respectable job. I now am on a new computer (I7-8700) and installed V5 at the time as I recall. I went through today and enabled the H265 profile on my cameras. All I can say is I am impressed, 23 cameras between 3 and 5 Mega pixels. The CPU usage dropeed from about 45% to 28% now. Outstanding.
 
I just picked up an I7-8700 myself. I run between 13-15 cams (some disabled in certain profiles) and I average about 15-20% CPU. Not sure the H265 is doing anything for BI5 at all. I recall seeing somewhere that it wasn't supported? I could be wrong though.

h.265 is supported, its just that hardware acceleration on h265 is not unless you use high power nvidia cards that are inefficient.
265+ is not supported as the variable iframe intervals will screw with motion detection and may also cause tearing in the video.

Cool - good to know. Thank you.
 
So then if you have the camera set for 265+ does it downgrade the stream to 265?

no, you will have the issues mentioned. It will turn off intel hardware acceleration as its not supported on any variant of h265
 
A general rule. Blue Iris does not make changes to camera setting on the camera.
