Hi,
My current Blue Iris V5 server is runnning an i5-2500K, 8Gb DDR Ram and a 2TB WD Red storage drive. It is powering 6x Hikvision 3mp cameras and 1x Amcrest 3mp Cam (for indoor). Blue Iris itself has never given me any issues. My Hikvision camera on the other hand never really had a good image, especially at night.
Im looking to replace all my Hikvision cameras with Amcrest 4K turret cams. Im going with Amcrest because they seem to integrate really nicely with my Ring Alarm Pro security system. I currently have a Reolink and one of the Hikvisions hooked up to Ring and they are sluggish whereas the Amcrests refresh the screenshot every 30sec and when I bring up the live feed it only takes 2-3 seconds vs Reolink and Hikvision taking 30 sec+
With that - Is my currenty server specs adequate enough to run 8x 4K Amcrest cams plus the 1x 1080p Amcrest indoor cam? If not, what should I be looking to spec out?
