Planning a residential system with 4-5 camera locations outside. Looking to go with Blue Iris and probably the 2mp dahua varifocal starlight turrets. I am currently looking to add a PC. I have found one for a great price but not sure if it has the processor speed to do what I need. Ram and hard drive is easy upgrade. Please advise

From reading here it's suggest you need at least an i5-6500.

Please look in the Blue Iris and the Equipment threads for more info.

What he said, I have a i5 5690k and that's old already. Go with the newer as it'll give you more headroom to work with if you plan to go with more cameras. You can never have enough.

you can easily run your load on that system....note that you dont mention the price..its worth around 100..also you likely mean USDT and that system is a poor choice because it only holds a single 2.5" drive..

I've got an i5-6400 Dell with 4 cameras and BI running at about 7% usage on average, so that Acer should work just fine if it works for you.

Please do be careful with model numbers and such! That CPU doesn't exist.
