    H.265 or H.264

    Okay now it makes sense. Higher CPU usage for better compression to save transfer bandwidth. Which doesn't help anything if I'm using local network. Unless i wanted to save disk space right?

    H.265 or H.264

    So when my two HDW2231R-ZS cameras get here and I'm setting up BI for the first time; what settings will I want to use with my lowly Pentium G4560? Will my GTX 1060 be of any use? *Update: Or my G4600 (which has the better HD 530 graphics). I should probably use that instead right? This will be...

    H.265 or H.264

    I thought the whole point of H.265 was that it used LESS resources... like half as much.. I'm confused.

    H.265 or H.264

    So is H265 faster/more efficient than H264 with Blue Iris since you can't use hardware acceleration?

    Yes, he responded to my alixpress order last night telling me exactly this. I already ordered on Amazon. Thanks for the info!

    H.265 or H.264

    Why can't H265 use hardware acceleration with Intel HD? Is this specific to Blue Iris or all H265 decoding? What about Nvidia GTX 10 series?

    Understanding Varifocal

    I'm pretty sure that was his shop on alixpress.com I turned my vpn off and tried again, this time my bank denied the charge because they don't support that payment type. What other camera is comparable to the Dahua 2MP Starlight varifocal?

    Understanding Varifocal

    It appears it will take around 2-3 weeks to get my order on Alixpress.com I was using a VPN and they have to verify my info; not only that but their verification page won't take my pictures (even after cropping down the size to 1MB) and even if it did take the pictures they say 1-3 days to...

    Understanding Varifocal

    Right, but I read that 4K has issues with low light; whereas 2MP and 4MP don't.

    Understanding Varifocal

    Will be using Blue Iris. I do not own any cameras nor ever used the software. Is varifocal automatic when it recognized an object? Or is it only manual? Can it recognize people at my door (very close up) as well as zoom if someone goes to my fence gate 25-30ft away? I'm looking to buy my first...

    CPU for 1 Camera

    Is a Pentium G4600 (w/ hyper-threading) enough to run a 2MP or 4MP camera? I have spare parts including that CPU and would like to try setting up my first camera using a system with Pentium G4600 and Windows 10 and Blue Iris. How many cameras could I run? Would a GTX 1060 help it out? I have...
