    Realistically how many cameras could I run on this computer with Blue Iris?

    OK - I recently freed this machine up from other duty and expect it would be 100% dedicated to BI. One of the things I like about running BI and POE is that it largely allows me to offset the investment until I actually install the camera. So I can start with 1 or 2 and keep adding another 1...

    Realistically how many cameras could I run on this computer with Blue Iris?

    Is it bad that I am already stumped? :redface-new: I really don't know the answers. I am trying to piece together the puzzle learning as I go. Here is what I think: Frame rate = As low as I can use to still get something usable. I expect it would be in the 10-20 fps range. Compression = I...

    Help me plan a security camera configuration for the outside of my house please.

    Thanks. Which of these is what you recommend: DS-2CD2332 DS-2CD2132 DS-2CD2032 In general should the light be installed above the camera or should the camera be installed above the light? How much distance should I leave between the two? Thanks.

    Realistically how many cameras could I run on this computer with Blue Iris?

    If I told you I wanted to run 10 cameras - probably 5 outside and 5 inside. The 5 inside might all be top-201. No idea what the outside ones would be yet. Would that scare you? Just trying to get a ball park. Not sure what I would do for data storage yet. I might write it to my NAS or I...

    Help me plan a security camera configuration for the outside of my house please.

    Thanks for the input. Makes a lot of sense. Would all the cams be the same make and model or would there be different cams for different purposes?

    Help me plan a security camera configuration for the outside of my house please.

    There is zero lighting in my neighbourhood so it is very dark. Whatever camera(s) I use for the outside need to have good IR capabilities and/or supplemental lighting. I already have some motion detection lights so I need to make sure they don't "wash out" the cameras I use. I want to add...

    Record to network share

    Is there a way to get BI to store its files directly to a cloud service like Drop Box, Sugar Sync or One Drive?

    Ok I'm investing my time in this Blue Iris, can google ruin it?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see that MS has small print that says you can only store Office documents in the One Drive account.
