30% cpu to 100%

[ANTH040]

So I have received my 4 th camera today IPC-HDW5541H-AS-PV 5MP WDR IR and added it to the blue iris app 5.1 latest version and my cpu makes a massive jump by just adding this camera to around the 90% to 100% with three cameras its normally around 30-40% I have looked at wiki to reduce cpu and makes little difference any logical reason why it shoots so high?

This cannot be answered unless you provide info on all cameras resolution and frame rates as well as the exact processor you are using. Ensure you are using direct to disk.

Thanks you just answered it Direct to disk was not on and it was encoding. Hoovering around the 50% mark now

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz



Still seems higher than others in the blue iris update helper

also note, that processor will support hardware acceleration for the two 1080p cameras. Your frame rates are high, reducing them to 15 will yield a big drop in cpu use.

Are cameras over 2mp not supported by hardware acceleration?

Thats great @fenderman managed to get it back down to 30%-35% with your help

Yes they are.
