Howdy all,
I am trying to setup 30 Axis IP camera with Blue Iris. (i want a better NVR) One of the reasons I am looking at BI is my current NVR chokes on this many cameras. Is there a document that details best practice for someone with a setup like mine? I want to make sure that I record on motion but want to keep the CPU to a manageable level.
I see on setting up the cameras an option "Trigger using the camera's digital input or motion" and this, to uneducated me, seems like a good way to keep the server running smooth and still record when I need it. If I enable this, is there anything in the camera setup I need to check off as well?
Any other options on setting up AXIS cameras with BI so that I can have 30 on the server with no issue?
My server:
32GB RAM
2 XEON Procs (8 core)
10TB storage (raid 5)
OS on SSD
4 x1GB network adapters (bridged)
Thanks in advance!
edit: i emailed support for a manual/documentation but they just pointed me to the download - anyone know where any documentation for BI is located?
edit 2: with just 4 cameras on BI, it is already keeping the PROC at 47% steady (across 8 cores) - this is insane.
