I saw some older threads but they were from 2015/2016
Currently on BI v4. Before I upgrade to v5 I want to move to a new PC. Originally I was using BI for only 3-4 cameras, it is now up to 12 and it’s 4-5 year old PC and its suffering performance wise.
I see some deals on i7-8700 HP’s with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 SSD for $500 at best buy. My older PC has a 6 TB HD I can remove and add so it should be a fairly robust set up? Running 12 cameras at 4-6 MP a camera running 24x7.
Re: moving - I want to keep settings identical. There is a lot of customization and I have this tied into Control4 so lots of stuff with the specific camera names linking the two programs, etc. Is there an easy way to dump the settings/profile then reload them, especially when going from v4 to v5? Should I upgrade the current PC to v5, then dump the settings and install new on a v5 BI on the new computer?
Trying to limit the headaches so any advice is appreciated!
