I'm guessing this is related? On the mobile app, if I press the "lookup key" button on the edit server settings page, I get "Blue Iris | Invalid server response".

After a few tries at different ways over the last months, I've settled on: Using IVS detection on the cameras, limit decoding on the BI camera streams. Full res only, recording 24x7, all BI motion detection turned off. When the Camera causes a motion alert, BI creates an event and saves an...

I’m running on an i5 with 12gb of ram. I think you could use the gpu, but you’ll have to switch to that version of deep stack in the .yml file before you run the docker up command. (It’s easier to use cpu only)

If you only use BI for viewing (no BI motion detection) and use "Direct to disk" with "Limit decoding unless required" it does not use much cpu power until you open a client connection. I think you would have a difficult time using less CPU with a different program and you would be giving up...

I’ve skipped the sub streams completely and have the cameras send a snapshot to my server via FTP (via private lan) for AI analysis. Works amazing and I’m down to 10% cpu (AI temporally spikes it’s to 50%) on an old i5. Recording 8 2mp cameras 24x7 using DD and now can turn on “limit decoding...

@nelie Awesome work!!!!!! This seems to run much smoother on my old i5 testbed than the original AItool. I've completely disabled BI's motion detection and configured my Hikivision cameras to FTP (upload) snapshots to a local directory when they (cameras themselves) detect motion and so I have...

I'm guessing that if you followed the video, you are using "SD'' camera feeds @ 640x480 but with your old motion detection settings of the full resolution image. 292 pixels in a 640x480 image is very large. Try lowering it.

Either the built in, or if using OpenVPN, there’s an “OpenVPN Connect” app which is what I use. Edit: I see you asked specifically for Windows builtin. I use OpenVPN, so I’m not 100% certain the exact setup you’d need. Just stay away from L2TP I think windows has the ability for IPSec which is...

I understand the drivers frustration. Pet owners should not have them if they cannot keep their animals off the road, but complacency in running over domestic animals has no part in our civilized society. Shame on the drivers that think otherwise.

That thread is a good read. Yep, looks like the extra drive may be adding 10w. From a little google fu, a read/write on SSD is around 5w, but they can instantly go idle when they're not working, so would be a bit of a savings. Around here currently that would be about $8/yr. I think a bigger...

Okay - Here goes: System: HP 8300 Elite small form factor - with an i3570 CPU, 2TB hitachi, 4TB WD Purple, Startech.com Gigabit PCI ethernet adapter (2nd NIC). Also powered by the computers USB ports: Logitech usb camera & small 4 port gigabyte switch. I couldn't see a noticeable drop by...

I’ll have a full set of numbers coming soon. Had to stop testing for dinner. Be back in a few...

I’ll try to see if I can get around to hooking the pc by itself to the watt meter in the next few days and post the results. It’s been on my list of things to do for a while, albeit pretty low because the list is long and only ever seems to grow.

Not normally, but if it seems excessive, I’d pin it on the Eaton UPS. It’s an awesome unit, but it’s a bit industrial for this use. Eaton 5PX 3000 VA

Yah sorry, that’s total system. Cameras + poe + computer + (probably not very efficient) Eaton 5px UPS.
