To be fair, even when you upgrade it's creating ewaste. It's not like your ATX motherboard magically ends up in a different place.

@fenderman is on point. These are cheap and deep solutions for NVRs. The idea is to be power efficient, small, cheap. Something that sits in a corner than your RDP into maybe to update every so often. Not something you bother upgrading. And don't get me wrong. I've been building my own machines...

So basically processing power for a small-moderate deployment is there. But unless you have a NAS or secondary storage, it'll be on the small side.

Looks to have 2 SATA ports. But I'm not sure on the number of bays. The service manual isn't real clear on it. It's got 2 DIMMs supporting up to 64GB of memory. And I think a pair of M.2 slots. So you can at least do a small boot drive and a large spinning disk.

Wasn't real sure where to post this at. But came across it today. Thought someone in the market for a new Blueiris box might be interested. This is a $700 machine with a promo code taking $250 off. Making it $450. Dell Vostro 3681 small desktop with an Intel Core i5-10400, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD...

If you're just going for something cheap, might be worth looking at a Synology sized for that type of solution. At least then you get footage authentication. Regardless, BI isn't the solution you're looking for with those requirements.

Was just able to get back to this today. Updated to 6.1, it was weird, because even though the prompt was to update to 6.1, it updated to 6.5. The latest critical now shows up as 5.2.7.something though.

5.2.6.1

So I'm seeing a 5.2.6.1, I'm assuming 5.2.6.5 is just a set of critical updates for 5.2.6.1? Or is there an installable available for the .5 point release?

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for!

I've read that there were a couple issues after 5.2.1.4. I'm currently on 5.0.8.2. What's a relatively safe version right now? As I don't want to fall too far behind on updates.

I'm having a similar but different issue. This seems to be limited to a single camera for me at this point. Just like others I had been working for awhile and then all of a sudden I stopped getting alerts. I just had a chance to look at it today and I actually see motion detection events in the...

Smart Codec... you nailed it @fenderman I knew I was missing something somewhere.

I've done a fair amount of research along the way before finally switching from Synology to BI. To start with I picked up an HP ProDesk 600 with 8gig of ram and an i5-6500 with 2yr of mfr warranty on it still for just under $200. Killed the cameras on the Synology the other day. Installed BI...
