I got a chance to install 2 of the cams during the week... They are running at the same resolution/FPS as I mentioned above. The only thing I have changed is that they are running on their own network via separate Nic in my server. Running the web client in multi view the CPU usage is around 10%, wh...

Fair enough. I didn't use them at first (sub streams) but to the best of my knowledge there is no downside to using them other than a slight up-tick in network load. With gigabit networks - and cameras are generally only 100Mb... it's still FAR under any actual limitations. Recordings still use you...

No I am not using sub streams! I got advised to use them by BI support but if my system can handle it I am not going down that path... I will put an X5690 or W in first or even upgrade before I do that. I tried Sophos UTM ages ago and didn't like it! My preference would be to use a proper server how...

Update: I have installed the 1050 TI into the server and set up the cams to use it. I also upped the FPS to 25 just to try. The CPU usage for BI is under 30% (system is just over 30%) with it just running as a service and recording only. When using the web client and viewing recorded vid it goes up ...

FWIIW: we are running on an old Optiplex, with I7-3770. 11 cameras, recording full time, direct to disk, with motion sensing on all cameras for alerts. All cameras set to 1080, 15 FPS. While viewing via the Web Server (2 to 3 people logged in), the CPU runs between 25-30%. Rarely connect to the BI ...

That does seem pretty good and I believe it... always nice to have happy surprises. Can you share your Blue Iris Status > Cameras tab (including the totals at the bottom). That really I'd say has the most information in one spot to determine if anything is wrong OR if you done good. I'd be willing ...

Hi all, I am posting this as I am feeling I have not configured something correctly. I have just setup BI (running as a Service) with 5 Reolink RLC-522 5MP cameras running on a Wiindows 10 PC (running as a server) with a Xeon X5670 (old I know), 12GB ram, SSD and multiple HDDs. This is our main home...
