Blue Iris using 90% of my network

For some reason, BI is pulling 900Mbps at peak and jumps back and forth between 600 and 900. It used to never do this before. Anything I should be looking for?

I don't know how many cameras you have, what kind of bitrate settings do you have in these cameras?

I think you are confused..blue iris uses ZERO local network bandwidth...the cameras do as they stream their feed to blue iris...that is the same for any vms and any NVR...
As far as when viewing remotely and your internet bandwidth, it will only be used when viewing remotely and will be limited to whatever you max bitrate in your webserver is set to...

I have 8 3mp and 2 4mp cameras @ 10fps

When I look at my task manager, BI was pulling that speed on my network tab

it dropped to average 30Mbps at this time.

again, it is not pulling anything but what the cameras are streaming...it cannot pull more data than what is being sent to the machine...something else going on..do you store files on NAS?

You might have just nailed it. I took my server offline for some maintenance and when I power it back up I noticed this. It might be uploading the files to the FTP server on the nas as I do archive things on there in case something happens. Explains why now is only doing a couple percent
