With the proper bios settings in my Optiplex, WOL works perfectly from the stock Asus firmware.
As a point of reference, I just tested my PC and router with a "Kill A Watt" meter. PC was 55W. Router was 15W, so total = 70WYour PC and router will consume way less than 150W
what is the cpu load on the pc?As a point of reference, I just tested my PC and router with a "Kill A Watt" meter. PC was 55W. Router was 15W, so total = 70W
PC is HP EliteDesk with i7-7700 CPU, 1 SSD, and 2 spinning hard drives. Running only Blue Iris and an anti-virus program. Monitor is not included in the 55W figure.
Router is ASUS with integrated Wifi radio and integrated Gigabit switch (no PoE ports.)
15%-20%. Running 13 2MP cams at avg frame rate of 12.what is the cpu load on the pc?
What do you think the load on the PC would be if it weren't running any cams?As a point of reference, I just tested my PC and router with a "Kill A Watt" meter. PC was 55W. Router was 15W, so total = 70W

I just manually disabled each of the cameras in BI. With all cameras disabled, and BI still running, CPU load was between 0%-1%.What do you think the load on the PC would be if it weren't running any cams?
Without BlueIris GUI (or service) running (but with anti-virus software), power draw from the PC is roundly 18W.I'm pretty sure he meant idle power consumption when he said "load".
Yeah, I meant power, not CPU consumption.I'm pretty sure he meant idle power consumption when he said "load".
Kind of a pain in the ass to measure though since it involves shutting the machine off a few times.
Good idea, I have a few of those to spare. Is it ok to plug in something that uses two prongs, into one of those?You can always add one of these to avoid blocking outlets.

I don't see a link or attachment, can you please repost?Instructions show how read the loads.
I just tried my cable modem, which uses 2 prongs, into both of those 3 prong extensions that I have. The cable modem plug wouldn't fit into either one.Good idea, I have a few of those to spare. Is it ok to plug in something that uses two prongs, into one of those?
Can I plug an extension cord into it, so I can connect multiple devices at the same time?If you want to know exactly the power consumption involved you can use a Kill-A-Watt power meter. They sell them at home depot and amazon etc for around $20.

Yeah you can. I have mine plugged into a power strip then have my UPS plugged into the Kill-A-Watt. My NAS, PoE Netgear switch, Blue Iris PC and a few other things are plugged into the UPS. The nice thing about having the Kill-A-Watt connected between the UPS and the wall socket is you can just unplug the UPS from the wall, the UPS will beep since it has lost utility power and will run off the batteries, plug the Kill-A-Watt into the wall and then plug the UPS into the Kill-A-Watt. If you do this keep in mind you will have a slightly higher power reading for a brief time after reconnecting the UPS to the Kill-A-Watt as the UPS will draw additional current to recharge the battery.Can I plug an extension cord into it, so I can connect multiple devices at the same time?
