BI - enable Hardware acceleration, no video?

[Cougar281]

I have a system that I just picked up to set up for my sister Blue Iris setup. It's a Dell Optiplex with an i5 2400 processor, which from what I can tell, supports Intel Quick Sync Video, which is what the Blue Iris Hardware Acceleration uses. The cameras in question are Speco O4D1 IP cameras. When I added the cameras, before enabling the hardware acceleration, it was receiving video fine; after enabling it, I now get 'No Signal'. Apparently, the acceleration is for H.264, which is what the cameras are set to. So any suggestions as to why it's apparently not working? (This is a vanilla 'installed Blue Iris and connected to the camera' - no tweaking or anything other than enabling and disabling the acceleration)

the quicksync in the second gen support a max of 1080....if you lower the res to 1080p on the cameras it will work..that is why 3rd gen+ is recommended...they are about 100 bux...

Oy. Always something lol. That would explain it, thanks. Truthfully, I suspect it'll be fine without the acceleration as we're only talking about 2 cameras right now, with MAYBE 5 total in the future, but the load reduction, so to speak, would be nice. Main reason I picked this one up was to swap out the loud and power hungry PE2950 I put in as a 'get it up in a hurry' measure. Considering the image quality of the cameras at 4MP, 'dumbing them down' to 1080 isn't really a good option, but I will take this into account for the if/when I choose to replace the R210 II running a Xeon E3-1240 V2 that's running my Blue Iris; It's running a pretty solid 25-30% all the time with 11 1080 feeds from my pre-existing DVR, the one Speco O4D1 IP Camera and a cheapo foscam.
