Hi, I want to share my story so other people knows what they can do: I needed to use a laptop for Blue Iris because I wanted something really compact and with the benefit of an integrated screen. (plus it has its own battery for power outage and I have my cameras connected to UPS) I already...

If a PC has a dedicated Nvidia Videocard, that is not better than integrated Intel HD? I though it will be much better a separated Nvidia video processor.

Great! Thanks for the info. I will make an offer. Just to be curious, why not a mini pc? even if it has the same processor than a tower? (I don't need extra disks)

Ok, I'm between this 2 options, wich one would you recommend for my needs? Dell Optiplex 9020 USFF Core i5-4590S 3.0GHz 4GB 250GB Win 7 Pro 1 Yr Wty | eBay Dell OptiPlex 9010 USFF CORE i5 3.1GHZ 4GB RAM 320GB DVD ROM WINDOWS 7 PRO 64BIT | eBay

Ok, so, based on my needs (12 720p ip cameras) any system above core i5-3570 will run blue iris and will let me record with motion detection? I'm gonna use it for home purposes, and need to keep at least 15 days of recorded video, so, if I use motion detection I think I won't need much disk...

Sorry, here isithe correct link. That's why I get confused with processors, it's the same number but the T at the end makes it a wrong option, so, it won't work right? Why do you prefer SFF or tower? Is it because of extra disk installation? HP elite 800 G1 Mini PC intel Core i5 4590T...

I found this, I need something small and can replace the disk in order to gain more space, do you think it can work? HP elite 800 G1 Mini PC intel Core i5 4590T 2.00GHz 8GB 500GB Windows 10 Pro 64 | eBay

Great! That was the answer I was looking for, thank you so much. Actually my budget is around $300 so I think I can get a core i5-6500 or i5-7500. If I find something and in doubt with it, I'll ask for your advise (hope you don't mind). Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, I was about to buy one, considering the specs I thought it could work with blue iris. I have the option to record 24/7 with the windows software that comes with the cameras, but what I want is motion detection, not 24/7 recording. I'm kind of confused about processor requirements for...

Hi, do you think an old Core i7-2620m 8GB RAM laptop can run blue iris for recording 12 720p ip cameras using motion detection? I've read that it needs a core i7 fir running well, but I dontd know which generation is the base line. Would a Core i7-3687U peeform better? Thanks in advance for...

I've installed the PC I already have (core i7, 16GB RAM, and 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD), just to see how it works and configured it with Energy saving mode, removed the GTX660 card for saving energy purposes and it's working really good. Processor between 18-25%. The issue with energy consumption...

I've installed the PC I already have, just to see how it works and configured it with Energy saving mode, removed the GTX660 card for saving energy purposes and it's working really good. Processor between 18-25%. The issue with energy consumption in my country is the price, the equivalent of...

I already have a Core i7 desktop, 16Gb Ram, SSD 128GB and a GTX660 graphic card. I did install BI and runs so smoothly, but it's using 100-110 watts (measured by kill-a-watt meter). So, I was hoping that unit (small Xcy computer) can help me save power, considering it only needs 25 watts or less...

I'm sorry I didn't include the link : I'm considering this for BI: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XSGGJ27/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515787856&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Xcy+core+i7&dpPl=1&dpID=51fpjP3oKTL&ref=plSrch Do you think the processor will be able to handle 10 to 15...

Considering that, do you think this will work for BI? I need to know if the processor will be enough to handle 10 to 15 ip cameras. Thanks for your help
