    Camera Software Recommendations - 20+ camera location

    Another quick follow up, got all my cameras loaded in (there were 26 in total). Shut down the iSpy software. Running at about 30-45% CPU utilization on average, was more like 70-80% before. Still have some settings to tweak with motion detection to prevent a delay with recording but I think I...

    Camera Software Recommendations - 20+ camera location

    Last question for the time being (I'm already up and running!) When I follow the configuration guide for substreams, my Dahua does not populate the main stream with data. It says in the guide that it should have a string in the main stream textbox as well as the parameter textbox and that I...

    Awesome, I will take your advice and insight when setting up. I think I'll likely just purchase it, I didn't realize how affordable it was. It's worth the money to just evaluate it with a full feature set.

    Thanks I will check out Blue Iris and see how it goes. The processors are both Intel Xeon E5-2665 2.40 GHz , server is about 6 years old, Gen8 ProLiant DL380P I appreciate the heads up about the demo limitation and will look into pricing asap, provided that it goes well!

    Thanks for the reply! 1) Two CPUs, 8 cores each 2) 48GB RAM 3) Server 2016 4) I'm not 100% on this, but most are low quality 2-3 per camera average, maybe? 5) 15 FPS would be fine, that's mostly what we're getting now, or less in some instances, we're sort of aiming for something serviceable

    Camera Software Recommendations - 20+ camera location

    Hi everyone! I've been lurking around here from time to time and figured I would finally register and ask for some guidance. One of our locations had to migrate away from an old end of life system and we went with iSpy Connect because it was super affordable up front and allowed us to quickly...
