I have a BI system that has 24 cameras. I've been using Blue Iris for years. I am running BI 6 ALL are recording continuous plus triggered. All are running 15 FPS. All are using sub-streams, direct to disk recording. Intel HA and BVR. My CPU usage used to run 10-20% typically. I don't use this PC for anything other than BI. It is a Intel i5 12400 CPU w/ 32gig RAM and 24tb of HD space. So what's with the jump in resources? I started noticing the jump a few months before BI 6 was available. Nothing has changed on the system. I've got it pretty well insulated so I don't run windows defender or antivirus. It's almost like I've got some memory that is going bad. There are times where I'll check the system and I'll be using 80-90% of my available RAM. I reboot and I'm good to go until the next random memory issue.

Sounds like a memory leak in BI. Alternatively an issue in a Windows Update causing a memory leak. Try leaving it without rebooting and see if it runs out of memory and crashes or hits 100% and goes slow as it writes to disk instead. Sure sign of a memory leak.
I think someone else has posted on here of a potential memory leak in a late 5 update.
BTW you can test memory using Memtest 86 but it does take your system down for hours.

I think it's a memory leak in Blue Iris. I open task manager and sort by memory usage and the amount fluctuates but gradually increases over time. Everything else fluctuates but settles in a ball park range. BI just keeps going up and up.Sounds like a memory leak in BI. Alternatively an issue in a Windows Update causing a memory leak.

I think we are recommending to run with Intel HA decode "OFF" ....Globally, or running only a few on HA.
Free to try.....Try removing and reseating the RAM modules. or running with 1/2 the ram pulled and monitor the situation. might find an unhappy ram module.
