maximum cameras on BI

[bennuss]

I know that it technically can handle 64 cameras but I dont believe there is any computer that can run that amount. i am trying to setup a 30 camera system . Is there any computer that can run 30 cameras at 1080?

It will depend on various factors. With the new hardware acceleration it could be done on a haswell/skylake i7 if you limit frame rates to 10-15.

i am running a skylake i7 with 23 cameras at 15fps and it is bombing out too often at cpu 100%. I am going to have to switch to ivms if i can ever figure out how to set it up.

What version of blue iris? what exact processor are you using. You are doing something wrong. Are you recording 24/7 or on motion?
Using direct to disk? How much memory does the system have? Are you using the new intel hardware acceleration?

 

[bennuss]

12 gb of memory which it never comes close to using. in motion although it is a daycare which during the day and when i have the problem it is basically continuous record.

what about all the other questions posed.

 

[bennuss]

yes direct to disk. i7 6700k (which cost me a fortune). i haveto check about the hardware acceleration

Something is not adding up...what is the cpu load at night?

 

[fenderman]

Are you running the demo or paid version?

 

[bennuss]

paid version at at night it drops down into the 40s at most very often even lower .only have about 3 cameras recording then

something is still not right with those numbers. What cams are you using?
Hardware acceleration was added two days ago so if you have not tried that, do that first.

install and run hardware acceleration. Confirm that you have set direct to disk for EACH camera. You can also reduce the live preview rate to 10fps
