Up the receive buffer on the IP config page for each cam to 40mb

I think this is the first time I have seen this suggested and do not understand why it would be used.
Any help explaining this setting from anyone?

Read about it in the Blue Iris help file.

Read about it in the Blue Iris help file.

The reason why I never seen it suggested before is clear. Most people would not be running all high mega pixel cameras so they would not need to do this.

but page 63 states:

The receive buffer is generally set large enough and you should not need to alter this.
However for very high bitrate cameras (8192 kbps and above perhaps) on very busy systems
(high CPU utilization) it may be required to increase this to up to 20MB to avoid a buffer
overrun or dropped packets.

Actually, I have suggested it quite a bit when someone comes here with a camera lagging or dropping.

I run all of mine at 40MB. I think it helps when you have a lot of cameras as well.
