There is definitely something wrong with the Wyze stream (or at least in the way that Blue Iris processes the stream coming from it). I installed Blue Iris in my main machine (an i7-8086k with 32GB of RAM) just to check if it was really a limitation of the i5-2500k and CPU load goes to 30%, which is...

The previous firmware (dafang) allowed me to select the resolution of the stream and I was streaming 720p (hence the 0.9) at a fairly low bitrate. I flashed back Wyze's original firmware (the beta, with RSTP) that does only 1080p, so that's where the 2.1 MP comes from :) Be that as it may, looking a...

Well, it gets weirder

I flashed a different firmware on the camera. Now, while I do have roughly 15 FPS with 1.0 keyframes, the total MP/s is even higher than before (considering that I have only one camera running).

Thanks a lot, that is definitely a step in the right direction! The issue, however, seems to be not on the streams themselves but on how Blue Iris is decoding them. I would say that the fact that both iSpy and AgentDVR can process the same three streams at about 10 or 15% CPU load supports that theo...

Here

I'm running a rather basic system (3 cameras over RTSP, 720p@10FPS each) on the latest version of Blue Iris. I have all the usual optimizations configured (Direct to Disk recording, Intel HW accelerated decoding, framerates limited to 10 FPS, etc). As of now, motion detection is disabled. Basically,...
