Its been some time now since I've implemented the optimization tweaks. I can now report that I have no more delays and my CPU usage hovers around 4%. Just perfect! Thanks all!

Will do. Many thanks!

wittaj, I set my camera frame interval to 15. That brought my key up to 1.00. I then changed my pre trigger video buffer to 1.5. That got my email attachments back up to full size and good resolution. Not sure if I have configured everything correctly or as you advised, so I've included a few...

Just wanted to mention one unintended consequence with my recent optimization. It would appear that my string of snaps as is taken when the camera is triggered and then emailed to me is sourced from the sub stream if I'm not mistaken? I've maxed out the quality and scale settings but the clarity...

Thank you all for your very informative feedback. I implemented the guidance from the optimization wiki. My setup appears to be screamingly efficient and my CPU usage is hovering around 3-4 %. The sub stream change really did the trick. I'll of course monitor my system over the next few days to...

Update: Rebooting the cameras one a day was a no go. I'm still seeing an approximate 30 - 40 second delay from real time to what's being displayed on the BI computer. Rebooting BI clears up that delay for a while until the delay reoccurs again. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Definitely a thought to consider. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your suggestion. I've configured all the cameras to reboot 5 minutes apart starting at 2:00AM. I'll report back with my findings in a few days as I monitor this change. Thanks again!

I'm not sure how to determine if it's a CPU issue. I have a Xeon running at 3.5GHz. Seems pretty capable maintaining CPU usage at around 40%. I would really like a graceful/gentle way to shut down BI from within the program, and then restart.

Hi All, I was wondering if Blue Iris V5 has a way to shut down and then immediately restart itself at a predetermined time each day or even every other day. The reason being, my setup (BI plus 6 4K cams seems to develop a time lag over 3 to 5 days. A restart seems to clear out the cobwebs so to...
