CPU useage What is normal?

[SouthernYankee]

You need to start over.
1) do a clean install of windows 10. Do not install any other crap software.
2) install bi. The latest stable version. 5.4.9.18
3) define one camera in bi correctly. Only one camera.
4) posted the requested screen shots, from my previous post.

We will start from there.

Your screenshot right here shows you are not using substreams.... There should be a subFPS and Sub Bitrate and you have none of that. That is the reason for the high CPU, among it appears other issues. Double cameras that are not clones so it is pulling the stream twice... Someone here is running 50 cams on a 4th generation at 30% CPU. As SouthernYankee said, start over.

Lots of other needless crap running as well.
When you do the optimizations, you need to do each and every one, not just "some of them".

It's a clean windows install. I just installed it a few days ago and it's not exclusively used for BlueIris.

 

[SouthernYankee]

then what is all the crap on the task manager screen copy ? A clean install does not have those programs running.

Start over.

I don't understand, because the MainSTreams_AI do use the substreams. They are configured for the right address and also are 1280p instead of 4K. What am I doing wrong?

See this: Sub Stream Guide

It's always best to use a dedicated machine for only BI.
Be sure you are doing the clean install by using the MS Media Creation Tool, and NOT from a computer manufacture's restore disc or partition.
Be sure you have excluded BI from windows defender, as per the BI help file.

Go to your camera setup screen and it should look something like this:



It is obviously camera brand dependent, but your sub stream profile is blank or you would be showing a substream FPS and bitrate in the BI camera status.

Plus 1280p is way to high for a substream...

Note the way the the frame, bit rates and key frame rates are displayed in the non-cloned cameras. Proper utilization of sub streams and using a clone of the original camera are key to keeping CPU utilization at a reasonable level.

My cpu is a older Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz 4.20 GHz

I run 6x camera's all 20-30FPS and between 4000-15000 bitrate.

3x 8mp
2x 2mp
1x 4mp



Also worth checking your Power Plan to make sure it is not set to a power Save plan as this will make high CPU values.
