    CPU monitoring software. Anyone have some recommendations?

    Anyone know of a decent (and preferably free) product to monitor your CPU usage for Windows? Sure... There is Task Manager, but let's get real here. I prefer something that displays in a small window (like Core Temp) that I wouldn't mind running 24/7 on my desktop. Thanks

    Sound Files for Blue Iris

    One of the features I find so awesome and fun with BI is the ability to assign audio files to triggered alarm events. In a lot of ways this gives BI a feeling of having its own version of Microsoft’s very own Cortana. Of course you can’t interact with the BI like Cortana, but it’s real cool...

    Zmodo & FunLux (I'm confused). Is this the same company? Has Zmodo sold? Is FunLux a new company? It's all a bit confusing on who makes what anymore. Did Zmodo actually make their own cameras? A little cam history would be great. I've been told that only a few companies actually make the...
