4.2.8 - January 7, 2016 - Hardware Acceleration

[vincenttor]

Now that this HA is here, is there anyone using a intel NUC with blueiris ?
I have read some topics in the past, but now when he hardware acceleration could be used and some NUC boxes have a cpu in them with support these might be a nice solution.
The energy consumption is quite low compared to most bigger systems.

The cost of a nuc is at least double that of a low power system with an S processor and the nuc is weaker. You would never recover the difference.

Understood, thanks for the reply.
I'm looking to build the most energy friendly computer but strong enough to keep some cemera's running ,hence i was thinking about the NUC boxes since the consumption is quite low.
Another "problem" i did see with those is the amount of Sata ports, and not wanting to use usb for ext harddisks.
Well , the search goes on

Anyone else found 4.2.8.5 has reduced CPU usage even more?

No. Seemed the same to me.

The new update doesn't fix the "Run As Service" glitch with Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks for posting that, I had forgotten about that and was getting ready to update. You saved me a bunch of heartache.

What's the glitch? Just doesn't work with Win7/64 or more involved hassles?

I am using a Gigabyte Brix BXBT-1900 which is very similar to a NUC, I have 2x Hikvision 3mpixel camears and 1x tenvis 720 camera running on it and with 12FPS and recoring direct to disc after the recent update to 4.2.8 my avaerage cpu usage is around 35% this has fallen from around 45-50% before 4.2.8.
Overall the Brix does a great job and I would recommend it if you are looking for a low power solution..

Thanks for the info, have you ever looked at the consumption of this computer at the wall plug ?

I'm running a 10 camera system, 3mp, 12 FPS On a nuc at 38%. You say you're only running 3 cams??

edit 9 watts at wall plug

If you don't mind, what NUC are you using for this ?
because this looks promising !
I am not planning to go over 10 cam's since i have no space for it to leave them all haha and 9Watts sounds as music in my ears.

Thanks, is this cpu usage before or after this update with hardware acceleration ?

After HA update. Before was about 55%

I saw a posting a few pages back that said "Running Blue Iris as a service along with Intel hardware acceleration causes all my cams to drop out. If I run it without it being a service, the hardware acceleration works very nicely."

I'm not sure if that is the only issue. I thought I also remembered there being an issue with Hikvision cameras when running as a service.

I believe that was my post. That issue only exists with Windows 7 and the developer is currently working on the issue. If you're using Windows 8 or 10, running it as a service with hardware acceleration shouldn't be an issue. I'm not aware of any problems with Hikvision cameras dropping out with BI as a service. I've been running Hikvision cameras and BI as a service for a while without any issues.

I had some confusion to start but I think HA is working for me. Bi as a service, i7 4770, 16gb, 2mp hik, 3mp hik, 4 mp him 20-30fps. 21% cpu when I remote in via splashtop, which takes about 9%. 32% when I launch the windows 10 app on top of the service.

When you remote it you cannot rely on the windows taskmanager cpu percentage, it may so 9 percent for splashtop but it may be significantly more. Do you have a monitor attached? What does the blue iris remote app indicate?

That is impressive ...
