Very little, and only initially. The BI service starts at 3 GB and stays there the whole time. I just rebooted the server to get a baseline and I'm watching it. Memory is currently at 4.8 GB. CPU is sitting at 30%. I'm going to watch it for a bit to see if memory and CPU jump at the same time.

Also, I can connect to the cameras directly and the video is perfectly smooth. Incoming data to the server is around 110 Mbps. Our servers are on a 10 gig network, with 1 gig going to each camera, so I don't think it's network related. I'm trying to think if anything else changed the past couple of days that could have caused this. Like I said, BI has performed flawlessly for quite a while.

I would email support.

Will do. I just used the email support button in the software, and I think it's cool that it copies all the server and license details. Makes it easy.

But, I'm gonna wait a bit until the CPU spikes again before sending it.

This is where I'm at right now:

My CPU usage went from 19% to 55 - 60% in the last few days
Only thing I can Attribute it to is upgrading to Version 4.5.0.2

Fixed My High CPU usage and it's not caused by upgrading to BI version 4.5.0.2 (I see no issues now with 4.5.0.2)

My error in changing Windows Power option from default (Balanced) to Power saver.
I've changed to High performance and my CPU level dropped to 14%

Thinking about it makes total sense why BI was showing such high numbers

(I was trying to lower my Overall Power usage thinking it would lower demand on total system when I changed to Power saver)
