    Strong Enough Computer

    Not enough memory for 15 cameras you may need to run deep stack. The disk drive is useless. It will need at least 250 GB SSD. And a wd purple surveillance drive for video. Wireless is also useless. The dvd is also useless. Look on eBay for a used business desktop computer. An I7 6th generation...

    10Gb Uplink/1 Gb POE+ ports

    Calculate the speed for each of your cameras. Look at the max bit rate configured. Not even close. I use 8 port switches 100mbps links to the camera and a 1Gb up link. Absolute no problem. Most cameras run at way less than 16384 Kbps or 0.016384 Gbps

    Camera suggestions for my entry areas

    your drive way car port cameras are way to high, move them down to the support posts, 6 to 7ft up. your front door need a camera pointing directly out, at about the door bell height. Your current front door camera should be adjusted to point at the package drop area.

    Suddenly high CPU-load (configs and screenshots inside)

    I am at a loss as to what is going on, with 4 cameras at 15 FPS with that CPU you should be way under 20%. The only possible thing I can think of is only 8GB memory. Or the Reolink is causing problems. Go back to the last stable version of BI 5.4.9.18 and see if the CPU load comes down. Try...

    Bitrate vs frame rate vs resolution

    Do not use a frame rate over 15 FPS. Use an Iframe of 15 or 30. Do not run the video through your router (except for wifi). The ethernet for the video should go into a switch, the switch is connected to the router. The main viewing PC should be connected to the same switch.

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The Hospitals main job is to make MONEY just like any other business. They do not make MONEY when there are empty beds. If the government is paying, you will be in the hospital. If your insurance is paying you are out of the hospital because the insurance job is to make MONEY.

    Most wireless cameras are 2.4 GHZ, You can get an old router on ebay for $25 to use as an access point for your cameras. In the past I used an Asus rt-n12. You connect the 2nd nic to a switch, then connect the access point to the switch. Set the Access point IP address and all the camera IP...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    The airline delays is not caused by the weather. Southwest pilots are taking vacation and sick days. Other SWA pilots are refusing to take the additional flights, this is the result of them not wanting to take the jab. I live near the southwest airline main Houston airport and have a number of...

    Choosing hardware for BI: is this PC okay?

    I believe that most people would add the equipment. You may be able to get one with an SSD, but not likely. I add the SSD and purple drive to my system after I got it. My system came with a 1tb drive, it went into the trash. I started with a clean windows install
