I've been reading threads on here for days but getting a bit overwhelmed and confused with all the info
my situation
I currently have a hikvision nvr and looking at advantages to switching to blue iris , wanting to use smart features for motion detection to cut down on false motion triggers but my cameras don't support this with my NVR so looking at blue iris software option instead
my cameras
1. unnamed 1080p ip camera (had for a while cant remember the name)
2. IMPORX CCTV Auto Tracking PTZ IP Camera
3. YUCHENG Auto Tracking PTZ IP Camera
4. Reolink RLC-422 4mp
5. Reolink RLC-411WS 5mp
before anyone says , I know reolink are not well liked in here and I have had issues myself but its what I have currently but will swap out once got hardware setup for hikvision or dahua
so couple of questions ,
1. what is the electricity consumption of running a dedicated PC/Laptop with bue iris like compared to a NVR (question from misses lol)
2. could I set smart features up in blue iris using the above cameras
3. is the below spec laptop ok to run blue iris as one for sale locally
HP Pavilion DV8-1190e
CPU i7 Q720 2.8ghz (turbo)
Nvidia GT 230M 1GB+3GB
Windows 7
sorry if all has been asked before but so confused right now
thanks in advance for any help info
