Thanks guys that was it. Never knew about that option...I must have accidentally hit the tilde key.

GOOGLE CHROME - For some reason when I browse the ui2.htm with Chrome, I only get the cameras....no banner up top, or the clips list on the left side. Is there something I accidentally turned off in Chrome to see these? Firefox/IE work fine. I reset chrome completely, even reinstalled the app...

I'm having the same unknown character issue as well. Running the same versions.

Man what a difference a stand alone machine makes. Got my Optiplex 9020 today, got two more cameras installed, and BI w/tools installed and rocking. CPU running 8 cameras is around 10%, add one web connection 12%, then add phone app on top of that and it goes to a whopping 14%. Thanks for all...

Thanks for the info. I actually pulled the trigger on my Optiplex 9020 yesterday and will be doing close to the same thing.

Just wanted to see out of the box what the default CPU usage should be for BI Tools. Only changes I have made are syncing with my weather station and created four macros for the OSD. I am running around 30% CPU utilization just for this app...seems excessive, but please let me know if that is...

Awesome I think that did it. My iframe interval was already set to match the FPS. I did however increase the buffer to 20mb and that seemed to fix the issue. Default for all cameras or BI was 3mb. Should I increase all cameras to 20mb? What affect does that have on performance, etc.

Out of nowhere my CPU usage is now hovering around 30% which is not bad. I even added a camera and now have 6 running. No idea how it dropped, but I know the direct to disk helped, and moving it to local storage instead of an external HD. One issue I am still seeing out of one of my 4MP...

Yeah does nothing

That is the exact same version and build that I am running. I find it hard to believe that this camera is worse than my ~$150 foscams, and I was about to order 3-4 more. I'm hoping with some tweaks and a standalone BI box that this setup will be much better than my previous one.

OK so time to poll everyone about what kind of machine to get for a dedicated BI box. Definitely don't want to break the bank, but don't want a piece of junk either. Can anyone chime in on what a good option out there is? Thanks!

Man, I had to turn Noise Reduction back on and set to 50....at night time it looks crazy grainy and just plain awful.

Yes all cameras are set to write directly to disk. (currently 5 cameras)

Actually I was D2D on an internal SAS drive, not a external USB. My SSD drive is for my C: partition and the D: is the SAS. This is a newly built system. I just wiped the entire thing clean and started over. I am running Windows 10 fully patched.

direct I might have figured out my pixelating issue on recordings. In an effort to curb the CPU spike I started writing to disk, which is an attached USB 3 external HD. Once I turned off D2D the recordings cleared up.
