Hi I am thinking to get a dedicated machine for blueiris. Which will run 24/7 off course. Is this a good choice/deal ?

My Load might be around 1100-1500mp But again doing sub streams so will be 90 % less anyways .. in terms of mps ..

You really don’t have to spend that much on a PC. How many camera’s?

With substreams you won't need the Nvidia card assuming Quicksync is available. Win10 Pro is the preferred OS.
Only Reason I am thinking of the NVIDIA card is for the OpenALPR processing and also a Sony Camera I got requires a Nvidia acceleration.

@tech101, you seem to have a large budget so go ahead and get anything you want :). This complete system is still less than your RTX3090 :).

Be sure and add a second Network Card too to keep your cameras on a separate network, no Internet access. Also, Windows 10 Pro allows you to remote into your BI machine, mine does not have a keyboard/mouse/monitor attached.

So, being a noob, I recently found out that having a Nvidia Video Card in the BI machine is a plus.

Also be sure and check Direct-to-disc

I was about to suggest getting a <$300 eBay PC (I have one that was $250 2 years ago), but 28 or 30 cameras is out of my league. Cost of PC irrelevant compared to cameras.

I don't think the i7-9700 is a laptop CPU... usually those end in -U or -T, and are power saving variants.


Definitely not a laptop CPU.

Crap, now I'm drooling. I've got an i5-9600 in my main desktop and could drop an i7-9700 right in, instead...

Yeah I am looking at the power draw of the chip as well and its seems pretty sweet 65watt and quick sync is there as well :D

I do not have dual nic setup but good article. Currently I have put my cameras within my router to something called No internet rule so they cannot go out to the internet at all.

So this is my thought in having a separate NIC, subnet, VLAN (optional), you keep your cameras separate from your private network. Keeping your Cameras off the Internet mainly keeps the cameras from communicating to China or a hacked site with hacked firmware. Hackers can come in through your router and get to your cameras if they reside on the same network. I do the same thing with my IoT devices, they reside outside my Private network. Not sure which router you have but I highly recommend pfSense or OPNsense...I am a fan of Qotom Minis, I have a i5 version. They have 6 NIC versions too, but you really only need 2 NIC (WAN/LAN). Only issue is if you have Gig Internet, I would stay with an i5 or i7 box. Since I got rid of my store bought routers, Asus, Linksys, etc. and added managed switches, my network now Rocks!!! So, so much faster...Make sure your network can handle 30 cameras streaming...
