Swapped out Hik with Annke FDC600 and now CPU running high

[tomgru]

hey all. I replaced an older Hikavision with an Annke FDC 600 in Blue Iris and it's working fine. the only thing is now my CPU is running super high after about 15 minutes from startup of the app. I have FPS set at 10 both at the camera and in BI, but it's still running high. Are you guys seeing this and/or have any advice on what to check?

Previous CPU load was around 60%. Now it hits 90%+ within an hour.

Support data:
Version: Release 5.7.7.18 x64 (6/28/2023)
Maintenance: Extended
Expires: 5/26/2024
OS: Windows 10 Pro
CPU,GPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz [93%,5%]
RAM: 2.47G/15.8G
Clips: 1041 items, 49.4G/60.0G
Storage: C: +126.9G, H: +1.77T


Here's the settings:

As I mentioned in your other post, you are not using substreams.

And now that I see that you have a 4th Gen CPU it is imperative you use the substreams as this is a higher MP camera.

Good deal Annke 180 degree dual 1/1.8 for $220?

Edit: this entire post is edited/replaced to increase its utility to the next person who reads it. I am summarizing what I learned in deploying the Annke I91BH/ Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL. This camera hit my radar by way of a recent “can’t recommend enough” post, which pointed to this...

If you have not done so, I would encourage you to do every step in the optimization wiki

Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage

Blue Iris uses a lot of CPU time. In most Blue Iris installations, your CPU is the limiting factor which determines how many cameras you can have. As such, it is extremely important to optimize your configuration to ensure you can get the most out of your system while consuming the least...

I would also make the receive buffer 40MB.

A 4th generation can still be a great computer if you follow this.

@wittaj ... thanks for advice. Saw that in the other thread, but Fenderman asked me to post here.

I'll work through this... I did the optimizations, but it was years ago and I haven't looked back.

@TonyR ... ugh. thanks. Hate when I miss that.

EDIT: just closing out on this. thanks for advice. Things have changed since I went through the optimization years ago... wow. Such a HUGE difference!.

If you are not on sub streams, you are wrong. It will save a ton on electricity and CPU usage. FPS helps a little, sub streams helps a LOT. This is a must do, get on subs. Watch youtube videos. Many good ones out there to help you tweak your BI.

Or follow this ==>> Optimizing Blue Iris's CPU Usage

and this ==>> Sub Stream Guide

Another most never use or follow. CLOSE the BI GUI when not directly watching clips or looking at real time cams. Check run BI as a windoze service and restart machine. BI runs in the background as a service. Just closing the GUI can and will save a lot of cpu and electricity. Using subs is a must. Closing the BI GUI is a close second must do.

I've automated closing the Blue Iris GUI (app) if I've inadvertently left it running.

Automatically Close the Blue Iris Application after an Idle Time

I've developed an approach to automatically close the Blue Iris desktop application after the computer is idle for X minutes. (I use X=30 minutes) EDIT (1/26/2024): attached script updated to V3 (changelog). Key Point: The Blue Iris service is not terminated when the application is closed...
