Hey guys,
I made a post in the Blue Iris area a few weeks ago, but it seems that I'm not getting it to work for my situtation.
So, I'm calling out for help to find a semi-enterprise solution.
Currently, we have 62 IP cameras.
Camera types:
Intellinet: 44 NFC30/NFD30... 12 are NFC31 with h264 capability
Intellinet: 1- IDC-752IR 720p (h264 ability)
Foscam 89xx: 3
Trendnet TV-IP110W: 2
Axis 215 PTZ - 1
We use the NVR software ViewCommander. It's okay, but there are limitations on cameras since it's older. We have version 4, and they are on v6 now.
This NVR software is Base License + Camera Licenses. So, at this point, it really isn't economical to just pay a couple thousand dollars to move to v6 with all licenses.
Unfortunately, the version that we have does not work with h.264. All our cameras currently record via MJPEG.
We've turned down the quality on the cameras along with fps to 3. We have seven 3 TB drives in our server to maintain footage (total 21 TB).
We get less than 3 months of video retention split among all drives.
Anyone have any ideas?
The problem I ran into with BlueIris was re-encoding lag so we could store the MJPEG as h264.
Let me go ahead and say thanks for anyone who gives this time of day.
