There is no way that would work well...two cameras maybe if they are less than 1mp each or vga...the cpu would be choking...if you want small form factor take a look at hp elitedesk http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...+elitedesk+800&_nkw=hp+elitedesk+800&_sacat=0
or lenovo m93p tinys http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Lenovo-...1389850549?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item462c3c27b5

Cool I didn't know they made those small or tiny factor with i5 cores. I learn something new everyday ...

Thank for sharing!

You can do a few cameras with the PC and BI, but they would have to be very low resolution, 640x480 at most. I tried 1080P on brand new Celeron and got 1 camera to work using about half the processing power at idle, with 2 cameras I had to reboot to gain control of the PC again. On the other hand, you can use more efficient software, for example, same PC, NVR server only, I got 6 1080P cameras comfortably on it. With an i5, you should be able to get 6-8 cameras with BI with careful setup.

Anyone here have small form running Blue Iris?


I found one small form here - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Mini+/+Booksize-_-ECS+(EliteGroup)-_-56501007


Someone by the name Blayne M. posted in the review that he using it for Security camera on Blue Iris but with only with 2 cameras.


I am wondering if it could handle more camera and what the maximum would be on a small form CPU like this?

I think I forgot to add only for monitoring or live streaming in my previous post.

What I was looking for something small enough to monitor the cameras at higher resolution but no recordings etc. I leave those tasks done in the camera itself since it all have on-board storage for the recording.

is it possible for this small form factor can handle monitoring (or streaming) only from camera at high def resolution still?

Another thing I looked at was a Android HDMI stick that can be plugged into the back of your TV. Then you can download like IP Cam Viewer apps on it and use it as a monitor but it is limited to Android apps only.

Keep in mind the the 4570T benchmarks lower than the regular 4570 (4800 vs 7000) so its not a full fledged i5. I dont think it could handle all 6 at 3mp and none direct to disk..that would take it to 75 percent or so with little headroom..if you use d2d on most of the cams and overlay 1 or two, you will be fine...
All of these numbers are obviously guesstimates...so only time will tell..
