Hi all,
I have been running BI for a few years now since v3.x and enjoy the product, excellent bang for the buck.
I'm running:
BI 4.3.7.2 x64 on Windows Server 2008 r2
48 gig ram, dual Xeon x5550 2.67Ghz processors with 8 cores/threads each
SSD OS and program drive on the motherboard, all other storage runs off a LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260-8. Off the 9260 is a raid5 comprised of 4 regular drives, a raid0 with 1 ssd that hosts a virtual win7 machine, and two other raid0 regular hard drives. The BI program is on the OS drive, the DB and all the storage folders are on one of the raid0 regular hard drives (5tb Toshiba x300).
The network is robust. All wired portions are gigabit speed, with a 4 gigabit teaming connection to the server from the main switch. All wired networking goes through Nortel 5510 equipment, a regular 48 port and a 24 port POE in a single "stack" as they call it.
My cameras bought over the past few years are "Chinese ebay specials" 720 and 1080. All are POE except 2.
My topology is as follows
House: Server and Nortel stack are in the house, 6 POE and 2 WIFI cameras connect here.
AC1900 and an older DAP-2590 wireless access points.
Garage: AC1200 (wireless bridge to the 1900 in the house) and another Nortel POE switch. Eight POE cameras connect here, including two on long runs (300ish feet).
Remote: Two cameras that run off solar/battery and talk WIFI back to the house 2590 AP.
The server runs between 20 and 50% CPU usage and is using usually under 20 gb of the ram.
With all that crap out of the way, I have had an ongoing problem that is persistent across all 3 connections in my topology. Green blocks that display where there is motion. I can isolate it further, if I mask a part of the video feed from motion detection, the part that is masked does not have the green block problem, while the un-masked part does.
Am I asking too much sending 16 video feeds to the Toshiba x300 hard drive? Should I replace it with a SSD?
I have read the forums and tried most of the suggestions: iframe and fps tweaks, d2d or not, etc.
Any ideas?
