I made no mention of port forwarding. Having a port open through (various) firewall(s) is precisely what your VPN (and everything accessing the internet) has to have. Your VPN still opens a port.

That is precisely what I will do. I have shared your attitude with Ken at Blue Iris and he informs me that " Thanks Don ... this is not the first time I have heard this, but it sounds worse now ... I will have to investigate whether this forum is doing more harm than good I suppose. Take care...

I offer the two attached files to make my point here. Screenshot #1 is 100% CPU load - all 24 cores operating at their maximum about 400 watts or 3.5 amps (not a condition caused by Blue Iris - but other applications running secondary that use up the remaining CPU availability) This...

Jackass - It draws 9 amps at a FULL CPU LOAD. A FULL CPU LOAD at 9 amps is all 24 cores running at 100%. Blue Iris, with all 11 cameras, only hits ONE ( one of 24) of my two CPU's (24 cores) and therefore it only uses 1 amp.

Consumers are trying to consolidate things, not keep dedicated devices performing single tasks. Consider your cell phone, for instance. Is it simply a cell phone or are you so archaic that you would "help others" see your logic that they should "NOT be running anything else on a VMS...

A killawatt meter and a field clamp meter both measure power consumption. Engineers use clamp meters and simple homeowners like you use plugin devices like the killawatt meter. I grow tired of trying to be nice to you when you are determined to be an asshole.

BS - The starting amperage of the i7-7700 has it draw 53 watts. It idles at 18 watts (Bios only). With an OS only loaded it consumes 23 watts and under 50% load it's using 44 watts. It consumes 65 watts (TDP) at 100% load. At NO TIME is it ever using less than 23 watts (with the OS running)...

Ok, let me be as rude as you are determined to be. It is your mission here to insult people? I thought you were a "staff member". Why act like a jerk? No ONE SOLD ME THIS SYSTEM! I HAD IT SPECIFICALLY BUILT to meet MY specifications. It is NOT ONLY a cam system. It does a number of...

So that's it? Ridicule and no real help " You have no experiences with VMS or cams, that is evident...you simply thing bigger is better an more megapixels is better...take some time to learn the ins and outs before wasting any more money" - other than to tell me to learn more and to spend more...

BTW - Condescension is not helpful on either of our parts here. I'll concede that I know little about IPCAMTALK and what the acronym means - Internet Protocol Camera Talk. I'm not asking you to concede to me. I'm obviously here for help. Notice the PS at the end of my letter to Matthew. I...

The "ins and outs" you mention are difficult to learn when I don't speak the language. Imagine it if I were to have a conversation with you in the room and I was using engineering short-hand in the conversation... it wouldn't take long for you to get lost in the weeds and start to wonder what I...

My new system uses 130 watts to manage my camera system. It only starts using more when I fire up the other programs and use it for what it is capable of. I'm all eyes and ears for a better camera. Give me a make, model and price point for the camera you recommend and I'll consider it for my...

I didn't "buy" this one. I purchased the parts and had someone else - with the time - to replace the motherboard, ram, CPU's and fans for me. I simply didn't have the time. I've been busy tending to the medical needs of my wife, who had hip surgery in Dallas Tx, and I needed my security...

My cameras see at least 100 feet in the dark. See the attached. It is possible that you are correct, in the fact that I don't know the in's and out's of this software, nor the short-hand, trade language, acronym's, or other things that are commonly used in the various "guides" that are...

And that's the thing. There is a guide you say.... I haven't found that guide. I've found a lot of opinions that I've tried, some with success and others that required that I remove the camera(s) and start all over. I'm actually more interested in hiring someone that knows your guide or that...

Oh and before I forget - it makes no sense to purchase a 4-8MP camera capable of recording in 4K+ with H265 and then have your BI software capture or record the 1080p (or less) stream. What good is that when you need to show the local district attorney the face or the license plate of the...

I like to build a PC that is designed to last 10+ years and not need much hardware changed in the lifespan. It might be silly to build this system under these circumstances if it weren't for the fact that I don't want to find myself needing to rebuild a system every three years because I've...

Matthew, I want to thank you for this system build! It is the modern version SR-71 of computers. Previously, I was running a single Intel Xeon E3-1225 V3 (1150 series) four core system and the CPU load stayed pegged at 97% with 11 HD cameras feeding to it. If more than 2 cameras needed to...

Does anyone offer a YouTube tutorial on setting up and using BI? I have some cameras that will record a gnat flyby at 50 feet and others won't record a bull moose swimming in our pool.

Re: Hardware Requirement- which Motherboard is best suited to run BI for 24/7 operati Your system build is pretty close to my own. There are a couple of alterations you might consider. Since you are putting this rig in your attic, I recommend you liquid cool the CPU with a Corsair Cooler of...
