Is Blue Iris that much better than iVMS-4200?

I am running 6 Dahua cameras. The 7th came doa. Andy is taking care of me. 5 are 2.1 Starlights and 1 4.2 non Starlight dahua. Right now I have 5 at 15fps max bitrate and one 20fps max bitrate. I sit around 6-7% at current setup. Of course it climbs and drops as needed.

I was sitting at 10% at 25fps max bitrate on all 6.

System: Refurbished Dell Sff I7 6700 with 16 gigs of ram and a 4tb WD Purple drive. Adding a 10tb drive at a later date.

Where did you acquire and for how much?

how much he paid is irrelevant..users here have purchased i7-6700 systems for 400-500 dollars...an i5-6500 system that would outperform the old 2012 cpu because of hardware acceleration using quicksync would cost about 300...search elitedesk and optiplex..
there are literally hundreds of posts on the subject..

Hello All,

If I have to start, need to buy a PC and performance is more important than money.
Also in mind to the future support of BI for newer video formats.
I would like a rack pc so I can place the pc in a serverrack
What kind of config I need to buy for the PC ?

in the network is:
3x Dahua SD52C430U-HNI
2x Dahua DH-SD59430U-HNI
4x Foscam FI9900P
1x Doorbird (intercom)

kind regards
Kees

Hey there. Give these two guides a shot, they pretty much sum up all of the advice given in the various threads here:

Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris
Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage
 
tnx . gone order a mountrack pc
 
I was ignoring all BI threads and was ready to get an NVR that I narrowed it down to.

Back to the drawing board and many more nights of reading. At least my camera choices are still good to go. Yes I'll read first!

This sounds exactly what I need to be looking at. Love this forum!

If you haven't seen the link below, I think the three articles there have pretty much summarized the key points of about 100 different threads floating around on here:
IPCamTalk WiKi | IP Cam Talk

Yeah I seen that. Now to dig deeper and fast. Kids are out of school and break-ins have been on the rise.
