I everybody I am Nicolas from Link6 IT company.
Here's my issue:
I have installed iSpy 7.2.1.0 on a computer with a CPU Amd athlon X3 450 @3.20GHz and 4Gb of RAM (with HDD 500Gb). iSPY is running with 6 cams ( Zavio F731E)
At the beginning it was the HDD that was saturated by iSPY. So i decided to put the frame rate at 2 per second. It worked but after that, the cpu got overcharged.
Does anybody have any idea of why the CPU gets overloaded all the time?
By the way I am trying this: found at iSpy User Guide

Performance Tips
iSpy will let you add an unlimited number of cameras and microphones - right up to the point where your computer cannot cope and will crash. Keep an eye on the performance counters on the status bar of iSpy as they will tell you when you are running out of memory or CPU. Note that CPU can spike when recording video and encoding. There are a number of things you can do to squeeze better performance out of iSpy:

Thank you all for your help/clues ;-)

Performance Tips
iSpy will let you add an unlimited number of cameras and microphones - right up to the point where your computer cannot cope and will crash. Keep an eye on the performance counters on the status bar of iSpy as they will tell you when you are running out of memory or CPU. Note that CPU can spike when recording video and encoding. There are a number of things you can do to squeeze better performance out of iSpy:
- You can increase the number of cameras by decreasing the framerate of each camera
- You can increase the number of cameras by decreasing the resolution of each camera – one 1280 x 960 camera requires the same processing power of 4 cameras at 640 x 480 cameras or 16 cameras at 320 x 240
- Having a dedicated PC running iSpy ensures that user interaction or other software won’t interrupt the video processing tasks.
- Use a 64 bit version of iSpy instead of a 32 bit version if you have a 64 bit PC (improves CPU and increases available memory)
- Save to AVI files instead of MP4 files on the recording tab of your cameras - this takes a lot less CPU (approx. half). You can download the AVI videos through the website but you wont be able to play them over the web/ mobile.
- Reduce the Max Redraw Rate in settings to save CPU on resizing the live video feeds.
- Set Buffer Frames on the recording tab to 0 - any buffering means that ispy is converting frames to JPEG images even when not recording.
- If using grid views minimise the video feeds in ispy using view - auto layout objects - minimise to save on graphics processing.
