Hi all,
Have been running BI for some years - all going well - great software.
Was using a hyper-V VM with a number of Xeon E5-2600 cores servicing BI well. Increased to 10 4MP Cameras and was pushing this system - though would move to low wattage i7 to minimise power usage and heat generated.
After some reading here:
Bought:
Optiplex 7050 i7-7700T.
64 Bit Windows 10.
8gig RAM
Blue Iris only installed
Removed license from old BI VM, reinstalled license
Import reg file/settings.
and CPU died (immediately maxing out at 100%)
Installed all drivers/video/chipset/Intel Hd 630 etc.
Dropped all 10 Cameras (all Dahuas using h264) to 1080p (some where 4MP), Frame rate of 25, iframe of 25. Changed to Variable bit rate.
Using Direct-Disk for all. (mp4 format)
Using Intel-HA for all. (VPAP off)
Using Remote Desktop.
After doing this (mainly the 1080p change) drops CPU to 45%-55% (35% minimum at times)
I also have three groups setup/back/front/outside - does this impact usage?
From the BI info screen I get a total of
9431kB/S and 597.9 MP/s
(with all the groups included)
Is this expected? Seems somewhat high given the previous reports of hardware?
Anything that I could do?
Thanks
Glenn
