Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with installing multiple instances/licenses of BI on the same machine. My current box is running 12 3mp cams @20fps and I’m pulling <30% cpu usage. I want to run a second instance and add an additional 12 cams. Thanks.
 
It is not advised to run BI in a VM.

I am just starting to learn - can you elaborate a bit on this recommendation?
I have an ESXi server with a xeon e3-1245v6(kaby lake with integrated p630, which I should be able to passthrough to a windows VM).
 
Read the wiki at the top of the page.

Thank you, I found this:
"Quick Sync is unavailable within virtual machines unless you pass through the Intel integrated graphics to the VM, and this does not work on all systems."

Anything else that I might have missed?
