Hi all
My dahua nvr is far too noisy. Also I find the user experience and interface with it quite average. Soni am hoping to move to a PC with Blue Iris.
I have read the notes on Blue Iris and recommended hardware, and have managed to find a Intel Core i5-3570 powered Optiplex, that I'm sure will run my three starlights, at least from reading the wiki.
However, i wonder if I should be going for a more efficient CPU to save on electricity bills? Would any of the more experienced and competent have an idea of the payback period of a third gen, versus say a 6th gen ( that would cost me an extra 300 USD where I'm from) given my current 3 cam setup ( I may move to 4 cams in future, but not more than 5).
Thanks
