PC now struggling. 70 to 99% cpu

It means on this page for the drive size, don't put the full amount.

So in the example below it is a 2TB drive (2,000GB).

You don't put 2000GB there as the drive needs some "free" space for when it is full and is overwriting and saving at the same time.

So 90% of 2000GB would mean do not put more than 1,800GB in that location, and in this example, the person allocated a little extra free space and put 1,750GB

Outstanding! Thank you.


I have met very few Technical people in my life that provide such clear, understandable answers as you have been providing. Most of the time tech folks are personally so familiar with their systems that they communicate in "tech speak". They will provide an accurate answer like: Seven, but they forget that the lay person doesn't know how to get to that specific part. Tech folk needed to say, "Go to One, then scroll down and see menu option X and then select Seven" Or for us command line folks, the correct qualifiers.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate you and how much it has improved my system!

wittaj, if I can still bother you, in my modifications I have somehow lost the ability to "trigger now" on every individual camera. Can't find out what I selected to cause this.
 
Oh wow. You would have to post screenshots as it could be anything from you accidently unchecked the motion triggers or accidently changed profiles and it isn't triggering


Then look at the top and are they green here for the arrow and shield on the right?

That helped turn it back on again. It was the ONVIF/camera events that needed to be enabled. That was a new setting that I had mapped to and enabled inside of cameras.

Thank you again.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but USB as a path to External drives can be given a lower priority momentarily by other requests to the CPU, as such, sometimes the streams maybe be written to Virtual memory(<--HDD free space)if the Physical Memory is low.
This will cause choppy playback and freezes, and among other things.
using the SATA Bus for drives is the best method for streaming cameras.

Quick status update:
Received the New (new to me, rebuilt) PC from eBay today.
Now running at 6% CPU!!!!! (11 active cameras).

Installed the two WD 2TB Purple HDD.
Configured the two NIC cards (cameras are all on a separate subnet).
Transferred BlueIris over.
Allocated disks leaving 20% free space.

Now time to dig in and learn from the BlueIris tutorials you recommended earlier.
 
Found a bit of an oddity while starting BI on this new Win11 Pro PC.
I had to go back to the old style of creating a batch file and placing it in STARTUP to get BI to launch when booting up.

Is this the most efficient way? I just couldn't get STARTUP to run BlueIrisAdmin.exe even after placing it inside of STARTUP folder and ensuring it was enabled in Task Manager/Startup.
