Hey everyone, I posted my setup in another thread, but figured I would create a new thread to introduce myself and to paste my setup.
Here is my setup btw:
4 Foscam FI9821E POE (White)
- 1 in garage
- 1 in kid's loft
- 1 in son bedroom
- 1 in daughter bedroom
2 Foscam FI9803EP
- 1 for driveway
- 1 for front porch
I have all cameras running at a 4M bitrate and at 15fps (not variable).
Windows 8.1 rackmount (custom) desktop (also used for PLEX)
- Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.00 Ghz (Load is around 15% recording 6 streams @ 15fps 24/7)
- 16 GB Memory (3 GB in use during normal usage without PLEX streaming any content)
- C: running on 256 GB Crucial CT256MX100 SSD
* Blue Iris records to C: in 10 GB chunks, then moves them to D: (not sure if this is the best method, maybe I should record directly to D: ?)
- D: running on a 6.36 TB Windows Storage Space (consists of a 4 TB ST4000DM000-1F2168 and 2x1.5 TB ST31500341AS SATA drives)
* 1 TB of space carved out for BI
Anyways, glad to have found this forum. I've been running BI for a few months now and everything is working great. Just looking to tweak things a little bit.
