You will be fine. I am surprised you are using that much cpu. What are your frame rates? At 15fps and 2mp cameras I would think you would be under 15. Are you running the demo?
There is a new feature that is being introduced in BI in the latest releases that would lower cpu usage significantly further but I would wait until i matures.
Thanks for the reply. BI is full Subscription.
Frame rates -
30 fps on all 3...But...It just occured to me...(long day cleaning the yard)....Often I will have the 16 channel NightOwl (DVR HDA10-16) up with 14 Cameras showing in a 16 view display mode as well.
That's when I hit the 33% mark. It was about 15% with two and 19-22% with the 3rd 2MP PTZ.AND When I can turn off the DVR feed things are normal. It's going to be a slow migration over to BI, It's a real bitch to manage 2-22" Screens and two mice out of a Rack. So I was able to condense it all to one Monitor and one Mouse using a Dell 7010.
I'm using the
Cat5 connection on the DVR to the switch and the Nightowl HD CMS Windows App. I really should be spending time on Building maintenance...
They are finally starting to see the clear value in leaving 480P B&W behind and moving to IP. The real case for better equipment came was when I was able to send the police good images and video clips with 2MP fixed turrets (AHD 1080P Coax).
It added a second charge of Grand Theft Auto the Car thieve/Purse snatching Duo. They got caught in another unrelated auto theft, and they were able to Identify them as the same couple in our theft. But the Zosi cam and the
Amcrest cam left me wanting. They were now in color, but the details of Bonnie and Clyde's face were a bit weak. So thats when I learned that Coax was out and IP was in. And then I found you fine folks. Now i'm upselling the Condo on the need for better equipment. We just spent $650,000 on a reroof. So the budget is blown. So I can throw in a camera here and there and they can digest it in smaller chunks.
