    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Hiya James, The machine has 128GB of DDR4 Ram. In what way do you think that's a factor...just curious to hear your thoughts.

    Ha ha....so true man! They have been keeping them on their toes that's for sure. Out of curiosity...are you running AMD?

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Hey everybody....another quick update that I thought would be interesting to share: As mentioned, on my old Core i7 setup I had enabled "limit decoding" on about 20 of my 33 cameras just so that I could run at around 50% CPU. I thought it would be interesting to exactly replicate these settings...

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Yeah, I did try with and without....no visible difference that I can spot! I knew this going into it, but I guess it brings up more questions than it answers? Meaning...I wonder what this says about the new architecture in terms of overall computing power?

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Yep....understood! I have done tests on both old and new setups and measured the differences.

    Hey bp2008, I was hoping you would chime in here! :wave: First, let me say how much I appreciate the tools and UI3 stuff that you have developed....super useful! Second (and for clarification), I've not used limit decoding on the new rig at first just so I could see where I landed. I've gone...

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Yeah...fair enough. Again, what I was initially going after with this test was to see just how much headroom I might get from this new setup. I don't intend to run it 24/7 without doing the normal optimizations, but it's good to know I have some extra cycles hanging out there to play with in the...

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Not sure if it's pointless, but I do understand the difference. Framerate is one thing and specifically during previews I completely get it. But in terms of resolution (when viewed full screen), the differences are night and day. I mean...I have multiple cameras running at 4MP and used to think...

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    On the i7 (my old config), I have it set to 20, but on the new i9 I've not done that yet. To be clear, at this stage I'm just trying to see how it fares without the usual tweaks and optimizations. I'm sure I can get it working even better, but thought it was an interesting test to see how it...

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Uploaded the i9 stats for anyone who's interested. Although it shows CPU at 63%, it's usually in the mid to high 70's. Not too bad!

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Yo guys...super interesting stuff to look at (the stats page from BI Helper). So I installed and uploaded from my old config just now to compare and it seems as though the one stand-out number being different from mine and the 34 camera setup is the MP/s. The 34 Camera i7 is pushing 1402 MP/s...

    Thanks Philip, I knew about Update Helper but didn't know it had features like this...will give it a look.

    Hey Migel.. Never heard of this tool! If you find it, let me know as I’d be curious to see stats from other setups.

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Hey Phillip...the house is pretty good size, but in all fairness to me, more than 75% of those cameras ARE outside... and installed by yours truly! :lol: So yes I DO get outside! In fact for all the far perimeter cameras, I had to trench, lay conduit, and wire for power and Ethernet to allow me...

    BI running on a new i9-7980XE (18 Cores, 36 Threads) = NICE!!!

    Hey Folks...Happy New Year to all! Got myself a new rig for Xmas and I wanted to see how BI would perform on this new monster CPU. The Intel Core i9-7980XE is by all accounts severe overkill for most applications. But during my last upgrade cycle (about 2 years ago), I went through the same...

    Blue Iris and network load...can it measurably slow down my home network?

    Understood Fenderman....and makes sense. I'm going to look carefully at the network map and make sure that is indeed how it's connected. Given the size of the house, I've had to retro-fit a number of additional lines and switches to extend into the areas I wanted covered. Will need to confirm...

    Blue Iris and network load...can it measurably slow down my home network?

    Hey FoulFoot...thanks for the input and the link, I will try the test and see what it yields. Understood on the "Theoretical Maximum", and probably why I'm starting to see these issues crop up only recently. Reason being, in the last 3-5 months, I upped my camera count from around 26 to now 34...

    Blue Iris and network load...can it measurably slow down my home network?

    Thanks Fenderman....I've been considering that as an option (UI3 that is). I guess I have a per-disposition towards a fully functioning BI install right at my main desktop. But to confirm, both PC's are connected to switches and not directly to the router. Actually, when I think about it...the...

    Blue Iris and network load...can it measurably slow down my home network?

    Hey folks...Happy Holidays! I've been noticing recently, that my home network has begun to get quite sluggish. I'm running high quality cable throughout, with decent Gigabit switches at every junction. My Blue Iris setup consists of 34 cameras of mixed resolution but quite of few are now 4K. I...

    4.6.4 - October 21, 2017

    Hey guys...one thing to note is: If you are running a bunch of cameras (say more than 10) and you are hitting a high CPU load, it seems that "Cherry Picking" which of those cameras you enable the "Limit Decoding" option on can really help the overall situation. Case in point, my BI install at...

    4.6.4 - October 21, 2017

    Agreed man....it's always difficult to know. But, I am going to pull the trigger anyway since I like to update my main desktop every year or so. I must say, I was quite surprised when I first assembled this last computer (the Core i7-6950x) as it really seemed that the additional cores/threads...

    Hi Dasstrum....thanks for making these videos, they are super helpful, well paced, and thought out! You should consider having some kind of donation mechanism available as I would be willing to throw some bucks into this, just ensure you keep going! :) I'm sure I'm not the only one either...

    4.6.4 - October 21, 2017

    Hey bp2008.... Confirmed that when I open the web interface, the CPU jumps to about 85% (when showing all 32 cameras). This is till about 10% less than before this update as the PC was running at 95% almost all the time. Btw...when viewing a single camera from the web interface, my CPU dropped...

    Hey folks...just thought I would share my experience with this latest version. I am SUPER happy to report that it's all SO FAR SO (DAMN) GOOD! As I've mentioned in other threads, I am running BI on a Core i7-6950x (10 cores 20 threads) and 32 cameras ranging in spec from 2mp to 4K (PTZ plus...

    Gigabit vs 100Mbps POE+ Switches for cameras

    Hey folks...many thanks for the replies! mat200, totally appreciate you taking the time to explain your answer. It WAS educational, and helps in my overall understanding of my network topology. For clarity, I will say that up to now, I've used Gigabit switches in every case except for when I...

    Gigabit vs 100Mbps POE+ Switches for cameras

    Hey folks, just a general question on Ethernet switches. I've run a total of 32 cameras both internally and externally at my house. Up to now, I've made sure that when I extend my network runs (particularly outdoors), that I use Gigabit POE+ switches. I will typically install them mounted...

    PTZ Cameras lagging behind Drone-Tech (A General Question)
