    Biting the bullet on BI.....

    I bought a used $30 Lenovo M93p computer that has an i5 4570 cpu with 8GB of ram to run BlueIris and CPU DeepStack AND two virtual Linux OS (Home Assistant and Raspberry OS) to monitor nine cameras, five 5MP and four 2MP. It was great, except for the occasional 100% CPU cycles due to DeepStack...

    NVR and Cameras that connect by WiFi

    I had a 8 channel Hikvision NVR. Review footage was difficult as it only works in IE and mobile app, mobile app is slow, no motion detection with my onvif cameras, motion alert is impossible to use as there is just too many false alert, and etc. So I tried out BlueIris for free and I liked it so...

    DeepStack and CPU processor question

    Add a Nvidia GPU. The more cuda cores the better. I choose a P620 for low wattage and low proflie size, it has 512 cuda cores.

    Refurbished PC (CPU), return or not?

    With my i5 4570, I saw very little difference if any with quicksync enable or disable with my 9 cameras and with the optimal setup listed here. Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage

    BI is now part of my active alarm system.

    I set my BlueIris to communicate via HACS BlueIris plugin and MQTT to my Home Assistant. If Home Assistant get a MQTT message of a person detected from the camera I specified between 9pm and 4am, Home Assistant will turn on all my backyard exterior lights via smart switches, flash my interior...

    Refurbished PC (CPU), return or not?

    I had my lenovo M93p with an i5-4570 cpu with quicksync and 8GB of ram running five 5mp cameras with dual stream, one 2 mp camera with dual stream, and three 3 mp cameras with single stream. CPU usage was 15-25%, keep in mind the same PC also hosted two linux virtual machines. I was using the...

    Considering moving to PC blue iris, versus current lorex nvr. Questions, comments invited.

    If you have a BI computer, you don't need that NVR. If you must have the NVR, put all cameras, NVR, and BI computer onto that POE switch. "T-Mobile home internet modem" is this just the modem or it is a firewall/router as well?

    Is BI mobile as simple to setup as Dahua?

    Why? It takes me less than 2 minutes to setup a new VPN user with my pivpn. One command sudo pivpn add That's it. It prompts for password setup and create a opvn file that you import from the devices you want to add vpn to. You don't even need the blueiris mobile app, just user the web...

    Connect iPhone to Windows 10 via VPN?

    I use Hyper-V within Windows to host Raspbian (debian linux) and use PiVPN (OpenVPN) from there. Takes 1% cpu cycle and 1GB of ram. I also use Raspbian to run Pi-Hole

    Ezviz (hikvision) cameras disconnecting from NVR WiFi network

    The chance of the company to update the firmware of my $10 camera is very small and the chance of them fixing this issue is even smaller so I found my own way of eliminating the issue. Good luck to you.

    EZVIZ DB1C motion dection not woring with Hikvision DS7600

    Even if you can get motion detection going, you would be very disappointed with all the false alert. A bug, a bird, a dog, a car, a leaf, light from car, a cat, etc can all trigger the motion detection. I got so many false alert that I stopped motion detection on my phone app that connected to...

    Looking for this rather special IP cam

    You're confused. 8Mbps tells you exactly the date rate, 8 Megabits per second. Here is a calculator you can use to calculate the bandwidth but that doesn't mean your ideal camera exists. https://www.exacq.com/config/ What fast motion are you trying to record?

    Confused about wifi cams and NVR. Do they use my router wifi? How does notification work?

    Yes, all your wifi cameras will have to be in your wifi network. If you plan to use wifi for 7-8 cameras, you'll have nothing but disappointment. High drop out rate, high disconnect, high latency, etc. I had two access points serving 8 cameras, still not enough bandwidth and I had to run wires...

    Hardware spec for a BI machine.

    P1000, P620, P600, P400 are all half height cards and running max of 47watt -30watt. Since I don't need the most powerful card out there with most cuda cores, I found a cheap $60 P620 and it's perfect for my needs.

I think OP orignal setup would be fine for 14 cameras, if even with deepstack running, probably a little slow to detect but...
