I was running blue iris 4.8 on a HP 40NL micro server until it stopped working. Am using two Hikvision cameras
i thought it might be time to upgrade to blue iris version 5
i found this on eBay Australia DELL OPTIPLEX 7050 SFF INTEL I5 6500 3.20GHZ 8GB RAM 256GB SSD WIN 10 for $129
or would this be better
Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF Desktop PC i5 7500 16GB RAM 128GB SSD Win 11 for $169
suggestions welcomed
 
+1^^.
Plus it's "future-proofed" somewhat with Win 11, not 10. :cool:

I just bought the Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF Desktop PC i5 7500 16GB RAM 128GB SSD Win 11
when they offered it for $149
Now I have to buy Blue Iris V 5 and learn how to set it up.

thanks for your help

This will not run w11...-you need 8th gen ..8th gen is also much more powerful than 7th.

They said it comes with windows 11 so if it doesn't run windows 11 I will be asking for a refund

The system does not meet Microsoft requirements for w11. You can do a simply google search and see that. For intel processors it MUST be 8th gen or above.
There are workaround that the seller might by using but MS could plug those holes and you will be screwed when you need to reinstall. You should do a fresh install anyways on any used system.
Moreover, this system is already 8 years old and underpowered vs the 8th gen.

I’ve done a google search and see what you mean
Thanks for your reply I sent them a message and will be interested in seeing what they say.

What system do you recommend for two cameras

An I-5 8500 will be more than sufficient... But if you have the extra money look at something even newer because you're going to put time and effort into setting the system up and you don't want to be starting with a eight or even 7-year-old system today...
