is blue iris resource consumer??

i have two software in pc with the sames cameras, blue iris 65% cpu usage, uc survivance 15% cpu usage.

i only have 4 cameras
3x2mp 20fps
1x3mp 20fps
101.2mp/s

the pc is i5 9600k 8gb ram

i think 101.2mp/s and 65% cpu usage is a problem.

all in main stream, and live previwew, i cant use substream or less fps, i need this configuration
how is posible the big differente between this two software?

the big diference is when the cameras is in preview. when a minimized blue iris the cpu drops to 15%

any recomendation? i do the guide for better perfomance in blue iris wiki


update:
I solved the problem by reinstalling the program, I had 30% CPU usage without added cameras
the current situation is in my two setup
i5 9600k
150MP/s
18% CPU

i5 4690k
350mp/s
40% cpu

user error...see section on substreams...even without substreams you should be under 10 percent with that load. With substreams maybe 2-5 percent.

You have issues. Folks run 50 cams on a 4th generation CPU at less CPU% than you.

Why can't you use substream?

Have you excluded BI from anti-virus?

Have you followed the optimization in the wiki?

i uses this configuration in 2 diferent pc, with the same cameras

i9 9600k
i5 4690k

the same problem

i need good quality in real time, is important for the bussines

i dont have anti-virus

yes, i do the optimizacion wiki

Well you are doing something very wrong...what you are doing I have no idea....you also didnt read on how substreams work...you dont lose recording quality...start reading...if you are too lazy use UC surveillance...

50 cameras in main stream or substream?

in substream the four cameras, the cpu is 9%, the problem is the main stream preview

i know how substream work, i know dont lose recording quality, but repeat, a nead good quality in real time.

i am not to lazy, i am triying look solution.

Clean install windows with MS media creation tool
Make sure you are using direct to disk recording...not reencoding...

your load would result in under 10 percent even with main stream.

Give up use UC...you did not perform a clean install or you are NOT using direct to disk...blue iris requires you to follow some basic direction...

i do the basic instruccion

i am using direct to disk

all cameras in substream, 19.6mp/s 45% cpu usage in i5 4690k

The show's completely different camera resolutions than you mentioned in your original post... You have one eight megapixel and one 5 megapixel and the other two are two megapixel...
Even so you would be under 10% on the 9500 system easy...

I'm running 25 cams on an I7-3770 and as I look over at it right now, it's running at 35% cpu. Don't know what to tell you. You did check what's using CPU in Task Manager, right?

As mentioned you need to read up as you have no idea what the substreams are for. You save as continuous and you get mainstream recording 24/7 but use the mainstreams to keep the CPU down. That way you don't lose recording quality.

You haven't followed all the optimization. Saving in anything other than BVR will increase the CPU.

Direct-to-disc and substreams are the two major CPU savings.

We are all hear to get the best quality and if using substreams prevented that, we wouldn't use it.

The main stream is used for:
  • direct-to-disc recording
  • single-camera live viewing and recording playback
  • audio
The sub stream is used for everything else:
  • multiple-camera viewing
  • motion detection
  • alert snapshots
  • etc.
You can't possibly have a big enough screen that showing cameras in multi-view need to be mainstream. Once you solo a camera it goes to mainstream, but it is always recording mainstream if you set it to continuous.

i saving in bvr, the cpu usage is the same

i want main stream in preview, is too dificult understand this?

Once again even with the mainstream you should normally be under 10%...
The one time I've seen this behavior was due to a bad driver on the network card.. what don't you understand when we tell you that we have systems many of them running on weaker hardware with a much larger load, and this was the case even before using substrings... You are 100% doing something wrong... Email support and figure out what it is or just use another product there are lots of other options other than blue iris if you can't figure it out yourself
