I am planning to update my aging Blue Iris setup soon, but just curious if there is an easy way to simulate higher camera load before I start buying more cameras?
I know I could push the frame rates up to the camera max (25 or 30 on most mine), but not sure if the camera hardware can handle constant pulling of all 2nd (and 3rd when available) lower rez streams as well to boost load a little more?
Just wondering if, for example, I could "Stream" saved video files or anything as an additional camera or something to "simulate" more and more cameras.
I would like to explore the limits of some new Blue Iris hardware looking for bottlenecks before I switch over to it so I can provide some analysis back to these forums.
If there is no "good" way I guess I simply must buy a few more cameras.......................................
