Update: Oops, I think I posted this to the wrong discussion... my bad......
Mike, I am a long time, residential BlueIris customer.
* Is there a 64bit version of BlueIris? This would help the memory max issue.
* Are there better system configurations for handling the CPU requirements of BlueIris?
As the price of Camera's have been coming down, I have been upgrading them for better MegaPixel versions. Of course I started with the standard 600 x 400 cameras, moved to 1MP then 2MP and recently am upgrading to the 3MP cameras. I mean, why have video/jpeg images if you can't really see the person or automobile license plate? You can get some information, but crisp pictures are what the Police want! I do try to capture the highest quality jpeg's and video that the system will allow.
As I have updated and added cameras, the CPU utilization sky rockets... My last Security PC was an intel chip "I3". It is now pegging out at 100% and crashes. (I'm not providing the history of the PC's I've upgraded through the years).
I am now putting together an I7 CPU Security PC. During my experiments, I am seeing BlueIris utilize between 30% to 60% of an i7 CPU and memory of almost 2Gb. (that is the maximum memory that a 32 bit O/S can map).
Camera system:
* 8 constant cameras (4 - Trendnet 3MP) (1 - Foscam 1MP) (2 - Vivotek 2MP) (1 - Foscam 2MP)
* 3 vacation mode cameras (only used when we go out of town) (3 - Foscam 1MP)
Security PC:
i3 (soon to be i7) CPU
4Gb memory
250Gb disk (for O/S and application only)
- 2TB disk dedicated to image/video capture from BlueIris
