I’m setting up and optimizing (and experimenting with) a new BI system. I have an i7-8700 and 8 x 2mp + 1 x 8mp Dahua cams. Currently set to “direct to disc” and “HA” with 30fps (2mp) 15fps (8mp). I’ve optomised as recommended in the wiki (other than FPS).
My cpu runs at about 30% and GPU about 60%. This seems acceptable. I know I can make it lower with reduced FPS rates. I’m sure I will as I tweak this.
When I playback my timeline recordings, CPU goes to 100%. Obviously there is more work or understanding around playback cpu usage that I need. I’ll get there.
What is interesting, when I close the playback window, and five hours after ending playback, BI reports CPU at 85% and task manager has it 100% (BI 85%).
Why doesn’t cpu drop back to 30% after stopping playback?
If I restart BI, and do not playback recordings, CPU runs for hours at 30-35%.
