Is there a way to run a max CPU test to rule out a faulty computer I bought on eBay
nearly a zero change of that..Is there a way to run a max CPU test to rule out a faulty computer I bought on eBay
MP4 files are not playable until they are completely finished being written. Not only is this annoying, but it is slightly dangerous because if Blue Iris were to crash then you'd have a bunch of unfinished MP4 files that you probably couldn't play without running them through specialized recovery software first. Efficiency is pretty much the same between MP4 and BVR. Hardware acceleration is used either way. The downside of BVR is it doesn't play correctly in anything except Blue Iris so you have to export your clips to MP4 or AVI before you can share them, upload to youtube, etc. With 8 hour clips you'd be exporting a small section anyway so I don't see this as a nuisance.I saw that you gave up on Mpeg4 and went back to BI DVR format for recording. Did that make a noticeable difference? It does allow playback during recording which is nice, I used to get a generic playback error when I had mpeg h.264 selected (requiring driver/software that I had already loaded). Does it still benefit from hardware acceleration with Blue Iris DVR video format, or not necessary?
That makes sense because TeamViewer is struggling to keep up with the changes...try adjust the TeamViewer quality settings..Learning the different colors today Fenderman, thank you for the tip.
Good point on the .mp4 files. If the power fails you could easily loose an 8hr file like you said. Or at least make it extremely cumbersome to restore.
I updated the live preview frame rate from 1fps to anywhere from 5-15 but it can't even handle 2fps without the CPU going up to 80-90%.
Something weird going on with the computer. I don't think the CPU should skyrocket if I simply double the live view FPS from 1-2fps.
Also did you perform a clean windows install?
Right click the windows start button, go up to where it says System and left click it. Then a window pops up where it tells you basic information about your computer. It will tell you what processor you have and how much installed memory RAM.PMd you.
Ebay listing said: "Dell Optiplex 3040 SFF - i7-6700 Quad - 8GB RAM - 128GB SSD- Win 10 PRO"
Don't know where to check in the windows menus for actual stats.
Well what I am doing wrong? I have 6x 3.7mp cameras at 15fps direct to disc, 1x 4mp at 25fps direct to disk, h264, live preview 1fps, 8gn RAM, Dell i7, Running BI as a service on Windows 10. Audio on all cameras, and motion detect on 6 out of 7 cams.I have a dell optiplex with an Intel i74790 12GB ram- Running blue iris, 4 dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A turrets and a dahua DH-SD29204S-GN ptz, all of them at 15fps and direct to disk. Not running as a windows service, Live preview rate at 10fps, Intel HD hardware acceleration Yes(h264)
Right now my CPU is 12% Ram 1.92
