I'm quite new to Blue Iris, after first installing it at my own house with completely new hardware 5x4mp Cameras, I was quite impressed.
I am now in the process of upgrading the CCTV system at my parents house.
The old system:
10x Hikvision 1.3MP Fixed Focus Domes - DS-2CD2112-I
Currently - (Half Way until upgrading)
8x Hikvision 1.3MP Fixed Focus Domes - DS-2CD2112-I (2 are disconnected)
3x Hikvision 4mp 1.4 fstop 4-12mm Turrets - HIK-2CD1H41WDIZ
1x Dahua 4mp 2.0 fstop 4-12mm Bullets - IPC-HFW4431R-Z
and the current computer is struggling, no movement rests at 85% movement shoots up to 100% I'm guessing its dropping frames.
To finish of the build we are looking at
8x Dahua 4mp IPC-HFW4431R-Z
3x Hikvision 4mp HIK-2CD1H41WDIZ
8x Hikvision 1.3mp DS-2CD2112-I
Total Cameras = 19
Total Megapixels = 55megapixels @20fps
I prefer to keep everything running at approx 4mp 20fps ~4mbit VBR quality. Using Blueiris for Motion Detection, no overlay, direct to disk etc.
I'm looking at buying this computer
Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF i7 3770 QC 3.4Ghz 8GB Ram 500GB HDD Win 10 PC Desktop | eBay
Which is a i7-3770 with 8gb of ram.
Does this look like it will handle it?
I don't think we will grow this system much more. I may add another Dahua 4mp camera in the late future.
I am happy to add ram to 16gb if need as its cheap.
It will be used at a house on a large property.
The most that usually will get triggered at once will be 4 cameras simultaneously, and the absolute most would be 8.
