    CPU usage doubled

    just curious, are you saying going from 6 cams to 9 cams is over double the load? is it exponential? is 40% CPU usage normal for my processor? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    CPU usage doubled

    Hi everyone, i7-7700 16gb ram win 10 pro So I had 6 cameras setup and CPU usage was a steady 17-18% at idle. 2 profiles with different motion detection zones. Added 3 cameras today, the only other thing I changed was resolution. They were all around 2560x1440 and I bumped them up to...

    NSC-DB1 vs NA-KB6013-WIP

    Guess that settles it. Only reason for Skybell is the Alarm.com integration. I have no coverage and live in North Texas. Rain goes sideways here. Also have a Dahua turret just above it, but like the additional. features of the doorbell cam OK, I know it looks like I have some coverage because...

    NSC-DB1 vs NA-KB6013-WIP

    Uniden DB1 vs Skybell... any opinions? I have a new skybell, replaced under warranty. Last one had some physical damage, and needed to be reset monthly. Integrates with our Alarm.com DB1 would be nice to integrate with BI. Signal at the front door is lackluster, despite my home having 5...

    Changed all cams to VBR, and disabled substream this morning. here is the drive status, still red on the 4tb HDD Also a screenshot of the new folder, which is my SSD Going back, looks like I have 12-13 days, but not every camera. Main concern is maximizing my past footage with 10 cameras in...

    Question with storage space

    Hey all, After finally getting off tapatalk and logging in with a web browser, I found that the videos answered almost all my questions - huge help! I'm now down to 15-17% CPU usage, and recording 24/7 on 6 cams. Just about ready to add 4 more. I do have a few questions though - My 4tb HDD...

    Need help with continuous recording

    Thanks. So here's the question of all time... Where DO I find the video? Actually here's the real question of all time - Where is the BI Wiki? I always see it referenced, but can never find it. So I always feel like a jerk when I have a question that's probably quite basic. Sent from my...

    Need help with continuous recording

    Hi All, I'm a little overwhelmed with all the settings in BI. I just set up my new PC and can finally record all my cams continuously. I thought I had them set up properly, but have a few questions. First off, using a 4TB HGST HDD just for BI clips I have 6 Dahua cams, at 15fps. Will be...

    Neither my android nor my wife's iPhone can connect tonight, but we're still getting push notifications. Anyone else experiencing this? I was messing with some network settings between 2 PCs when this started. Maybe a coincidence, since my other LAN/WAN/Remote apps are working. Router...

    thanks, that clears it up. I will pull the video card and just do my personal stuff on a separate PC Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    Can you explain a little further? I wasn't planning on using a video card, but when I re-downloaded BI, it recommended the use of a video card. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    NSC-DB1 vs NA-KB6013-WIP

    ugh, that's too bad. I'm sending my skybell HD in for warranty and was going to sell the replacement. I have 5 access points in my home and it still has connectivity issues. I have 2 outdoor APs waiting to get installed, and even if that solves the connectivity issues, my motion sensor cracked...

    NSC-DB1 vs NA-KB6013-WIP

    that makes more sense, considering it looks. "newer". a1securitycameras.com says it was discontinued and replaced with the LTS LTK6128W-WIFI must be a default/canned text. I may wait this one out to see if it's any good. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    NSC-DB1 vs NA-KB6013-WIP

    Just read somewhere it's already discontinued, and replaced with the NSC-DB1 equivalent? Can anyone confirm? It looked much more visually attractive than the DB1 Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    NSC-DB1 vs NA-KB6013-WIP

    Currently have a Skybell HD for ADC, and it constantly needs to be reset, deleted & re-added, the button sticks causing it to reset, and the motion sensor lens cracked in less than 1 year. I was planning on getting the NSC-DB1 since ADC integration isn't as important as I wanted it to be. I...

    Thoughts in this PC?

    I don't even know what i5. It's old haha. I'm using the Chiness Dahua IPC-HDW4631C cams. They work great for me and I got 8 or 9 on ebay for $55-65 (a few here and there) The i7 was a gift. I wasn't expecting it to come with a 8gb stick or a 240gb ssd, so I'm happy. Sent from my SM-N960U...

    Thoughts in this PC?

    Hey y'all, I know there's a guide/sticky for this, but I'm not exactly the most technologically advanced guy. My current PC is a i5, about 4 years old. I think 4gb of ram, honestly not sure. Running both my HTPC and BI w/ 6 cams, typically see 45% cpu usage. New PC is i7 7700 7th gen, 8gb...
