I think I have reached the best balance of CPU and image quality with this combination. Anything below 15FPs on the Hik cameras was unacceptable and the CPU savings was not there either. Had a difficult time setting i-frame interval. It either would not take or would always reset to some...

Thanks. I don't have control over that system but they spent a lot of time optimizing it for their needs. I know they are using off some axis illumination to increase shutter speeds at night. No plans to bring them into BI.

The three high frame rate cams are on another system not directly managed by me. They have it set up to better read license plates. I am only borrowing the RTSP streams for testing. The one cam that does not have matching FPS on both streams is managed there as well so I have no ability to...

I have 64GB in the machine but BI is reporting only 1.35GB being used according to the status at the bottom. Task Manager shows 9% CPU usage with BI minimized. One BI task is 9% and the other is zero until I restore the screen but then I cannot see Task Manager. Only 5 other tasks using no...

Right - I generally follow this for my configs. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/optimizing-blue-iris-s-cpu-usage/ The problem might indeed be the cameras. I have read there is newer firmware that has some H265 improvements. I've looked for the firmware but there is nothing from Lorex and I cannot...

Will the lack of QS support cause problems with H.256 decoding? I am having trouble using that compression scheme on a Lorex branded 8MP bullet. It does not decode. H.264H works fine.

Thanks- The Xeon processor is already on the motherboard so I'll start building and see what happens. I can add a half dozen 1MP and maybe four 8MP on my bench to test.

I am assembling a BI server from my older parts stash. I have everything built on a SuperMicro motherboard with Xeon E3-1240 v5 @3.50GHz. The motherboard also supports Core i3-7320 @4.10GHz. The Xeon is twice the cores/threads as the i3 but lacks Intel Quick Sync support. Would it be worth...

Thanks MAT. Only issue I have is H265 does not work very well. Other brand cameras have no problem but none of the Lorex are stable with it. I am not sure if it is a setting problem such as VBR v CBR support or what but it is the only thing that has bugged me about these. Fortunately, I have...

I have a bunch of Lorex LN8005-C cameras running Lorex 2.460 firmware. Does the Dahua firmware make them work any better with BI? Threads like this one Lorex LNB8005B-C and Dahua firmware (Solved with instructions) show it is possible but to what end? What improvements will I see?

Absolutely none. It will require 3 separate NVRs to do the job if networking the POE ports does not work. The network map is in this thread Networked cameras back to LNR 6108 NVR

Thanks for the reply. What I am proposing with discreet VLANs for each camera would mean each POE port would only see one camera. The other solutions with splitters on the POE ports are a non-starter as others have found. I already stream camera video data over discreet VLANs on my customer...

You do realize that is exactly the point of this and every other web forum and why I am here, right? :) I have done the research. From a networking perspective, the camera data is no different than any other streaming data. The potential issue I foresee is weather or not the NVR POE ports are...

Technically, then their should be an answer confirming the negative just like there could be answers confirming the positive. A lack of an answer is not confirmation that it does not work.

I've been all over this and other forums for months looking for someone doing specifically what I am trying to do. My first post here was back in May Networked cameras back to LNR 6108 NVR I've read the cliff notes and all the threads contained therein but no one seems to be doing what I am...
