I got a new Dell Inspiron 20" touchscreen Model 3043 to run my Blue Iris software, and to do absolutely nothing else. It has a Celeron 2.16 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, and it is 64 bit. I am using Blue Iris Version 3.66. I'm running 6 to 8 IP cameras.
MY PROBLEM: the new computer can't seem to handle the BI software. Either with 6 or 8 cameras running, the software bogs down, the real-time videos become pixelated, and if I want to play back a recorded video, there is a long lag time (10-20 seconds is fairly standard). In my experience, this appears to be an issue of the computer not being able to handle the task. Since the new computer specs seem to be sufficient for BI, can anyone give me some insight on how to alleviate the problem? Will changing the RAM to 8 GB help? Do these new computers still have separate video cards, and do I need to change mine out for a better one? Of course, I have antivirus software that runs in the background and would like to hope that that isn't the issue.
