    Camera system messes with work computer VPN

    Please provide a simple network diagram, but based on the description I wonder if your work VPN and local network are possibly the same subnet? Also please share the model of the Netgear POE switch, it might help us identify the problem if (for example) there is a dedicated uplink port on it...

    QuickSync vs Nvidia NVDEC

    I know you already have the 1070, but when I tested a 970 vs 1660 SUPER the newer card had drastically lower power draw (about HALF), and could assist processing more threads. It appears from my research the generation of card & VRAM are the most significant contributors to NVDEC decoding. In...

    Blue Iris design considerations - 26+ camera system

    You will need to use the new sub-stream feature in the more recent releases of Blue Iris v5 or a more commercial approach. See my Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds) thread. To manage CPU usage, a modern GPU was required imho, and the power tradeoff...

    Not recording at night - chunks of lost time

    Also check that your active profile for that time of day is also set to continuous recording. If the profile runs 24x7 then it’s probably something else.

    Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds)

    This build set out to answer some nagging questions probably only I had. 1. Is CPU memory bandwidth a factor in performance (for Blue Iris) beyond standard consumer grade dual-channel memory. A: Yes, definitely at least up to quad memory, unless using substreams. However, I found the software...

    Processor for 4k cams

    Yes definitely the streams are additive. I have a similar situation at a remote site which has only 3MB upload bandwidth and I am unable to add the substreams because the extra few kBps pushes me over the upload cap, unless I drop their max rez FPS. After I revisit the remote site and install...

    Processor for 4k cams

    @newcomer9087 Sure, see my EPYC overkill build thread, or split the load between two desktop PC's (cheaper than a single-system build). Kind of like having quad-memory on the cheap (because of dual systems). I can (finally) comfortably run at 3200 MP/s (equiv 20 * ~8MP cameras at 20 FPS) on...

    Processor for 4k cams

    1. Are you using non-demo Blue Iris, and do you have direct-to-disk set on all cameras? 2. Are you running Blue Iris v5 ? 3. Have you tried using the new sub-stream feature in Blue Iris v5?

    Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds)

    Here we go with TWO GTX1660 SUPER cards installed and each one is decoding ( 10 * 7.4MP * 20FPS ) streams [top line in red box]. Those 20 streams have sub stream disabled to place substantial load on each card. Total KillaWatt Power Draw: 262 Watts. Next I have reverted back to sub streams...

    Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds)

    Here's where I gave up after switching on substreams, and adding 53 cameras on Blue Iris 5.2.9.18 x64 (running as service). None of these are being offloaded to NVDEC on the Quadro M4000 because of energy efficiency being low with that card. Power consumption 156 watts. If I did all my math...

    Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds)

    Limits I encountered using the "Clone Master" approach. Different cameras allowed me to pull different numbers of "clone master" video streams before dropping FPS. IPC-HDW2531RP-ZS : 6 stream limit. (61Mbps) IPC-B5442E-Z4E : 11 stream limit. (96Mbps) DH-IPC-PFW8802-A180 : 30 stream limit...

    IPC-HUM8230P-E1 - does anyone know the substream URL ?

    Trying to set this particular camera up for substreams in Blue Iris v5. However, even though the main stream works (/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0), nothing appears to work for substreams even though this camera UI shows there should be two of them. I have tried...

    3990X & Blueirs thoughts ?

    If I were you, I would read a bunch of threads specific to visualizing pfSense (Netgate Forum) before proceeding in that direction. By itself, pfSense doesn't need much, in fact it needs so little, that a full computer is always going to be overkill. That would tend to support virtualization...

    Reserved - Summary, Things learned along the way Just some points and headaches I encountered on this journey. Server motherboards do not offer much to make your life easy, as compared to Consumer/Prosumer boards. For example, mine only had 2 USB3.1gen1 ports which made hooking up a Mouse...

    Blue Iris testing GPU & Non-GPU Acceleration (NVDEC, Quadro M4000) *BMC Beep just indicates the CPU was bouncing up to 100% often enough to trigger BMC warning, might indicate long-term instability, even though I did not observe any frame drops.

    Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds)

    Baseline For testing, I used 3 cameras (4.1 MP, 5.0 MP, 7.4 MP), I added 10 "test feed" accounts/onvif accounts to each camera. I configured the main stream at max resolution and max FPS: Camera 1: 4.1MP @ 20fps, H.264H, CBR, 13312 bitrate. Camera 2: 5.0MP @ 30fps, H.264H, CBR, 8192 bitrate...

    Memory Testing - will keep this short because my original assumption that I just needed more memory bandwidth to leap past the critical hurdle everyone hits in Blue Iris is probably not true (in some further testing maybe quad channel helps, but 8-channel is possibly overkill). Further with...

    Cost & Components (including notes & changes). I originally planned to purchase an AMD EPYC 7262 server CPU (8C16T) for about $600. It was a nice jump in cores from the i7-2600k (4C/8T) I would be replacing and was on the newest AMD 7nm Node for best performance/efficiency. However, I found...

    Finally Completed - New EPYC build & Limit Test - (Extremely Unnecessary Builds)

    Before the comments flood in, this build was done as a project/for-science build. This is not an endorsement of this type of build for a reasonable person, or (really) anyone tbh. This is simply a shameless attempt to try and get the IPCT contributor badge ;) Once a year I get bonus "mad money"...

    3990X & Blueirs thoughts ?

    For me it was more about testing the limits, once I find those I’ll delete the 20-30 duplicate cameras and either just run everything directly on the box or play around with virtualization. Right now skipping VMs because 1. Learning curve and 2. I didn’t want to introduce issues that wouldn’t...

    Has anyone set their CCTV up on Amazon AWS?

    I’m with @IAmATeaf if you can’t physically move BI somewhere where the noise isn’t a problem, then as long as your system isn’t overheating you can run fewer/quieter/slowed fans to drastically drop the noise level. There are also companies that try to make quieter fans like beQuiet SilentWings...

    Static IP

    While I don’t completely understand how you have it setup this might be a situation where adding another network card to your computer (dual NIC we call it) is a simpler fix. If your computer has an available PCIE slot, you can probably get a 1-gig Ethernet card for $25, drop it in and connect...

    3990X & Blueirs thoughts ?

    A good test you could perform would be how many camera MP/s a single 2060 can offload using NvidiaCuda acceleration as compared to two of them. Because if performance has nothing to do with NVENC and just the amount of CUDA cores (and speed of those cores) you can throw at the problem, then a...

    3990X & Blueirs thoughts ?

    So far in my testing, you will hit the built-in software decoder limit between 1400 and 2000 MP/s on AMD (even with high-core, high memory channel configs) long before you hit other limits like memory bandwidth. That "wall" may be higher if you have faster cores (Ryzen 9-3950X > Ryzen 9-3960X >...

    Small and quiet PC for Blue Iris?

    Get an SFF or whatever serves your needs. If it ends up being too loud for your liking you can swap out some beQuiet Silent Wings fans for the factory fans. I went with Noctua PPC fans in my recent build and they sound like a jet turbine winding up, so steer clear of those if silence is the...

    Can we gather some Memory Benchmarks?

    OK, finally ready to reveal new general-purpose AMD server for Blue Iris and some miscellaneous oddball jobs (Ubiquity Controller, etc). This fits firmly in the "crazy build" category, and is completely unnecessary except purely for science. It is even less necessary (than when I ordered it)...
