    Unsure on what i5 CPU for residential camera setup, advice

    So after reading many posts, I'm still unsure on what system would be best for my situation. I know I don't need more than a i5-6500 w/ 8GB RAM, but not sure on the additional specs that each CPU has, video card, displayport, etc, and if it matters on form factor (mini, reg) Devices: 6-7 POE...

    What is better for blueiris more cpu cores or GHz?

    Ah sorry, Assuming VERA starts up automatically with computer, not sure how I can measure that as I don't see it in the task manager, doesn't that run based on the chip/RAM inside of the VERA unit? When going into Task Manager, no HA is there, next thing in line is Google Chrome 3.2% and 195MB RAM

    What is better for blueiris more cpu cores or GHz?

    Question along same lines... Not wanting to hijack thread. I have i7-4770 3.4 4 core, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon 7500 1024MB. Currently 5 Hik 4MP 20fps cameras and 2 foscams, all direct to disc when motion. I enabled Hardware Acceleration in BI Options, fresh system reboot with only BI running and...

    What is better for blueiris more cpu cores or GHz?

    Well I already have the 4mp hik turrets. The place gave them to me for same price as 2mp. I heard a lot about what you said 2mp vs 4mp and noise. What is the cost diffeeence. I paid about $139 for the turrets. They are full us warranty not the import/gray market. I still need another 2 so...

    What is better for blueiris more cpu cores or GHz?

    @fenderman, where have you seen the i5-6400 for about $300? And if I read previous posts correctly, that should be sufficient for BI, Vera, and if I use Plex lightly at times?

    What is better for blueiris more cpu cores or GHz?

    You all think for a standalone CPU: 1) 2.7GHZ i5-6400 Quad, w 8GB RAM soley dedicated to Blue Iris and my Home Automation (VeraPlus) would work well? Current price $399 plus w/ only 4GB RAM and I would add another 4GB OR 2) i7-6700 Quad (Skylarke), 8GB for $499 is overkill for that? Currently...

    What is better for blueiris more cpu cores or GHz?

    I'm in similar situation. Only have 7 cameras and currently have i7 w 16GB ram and still can't use any other programs as BI takes a lot of memory. I just ran a memory test since I couldn't believe all the ram was working but it was. So next step is standalone CPU. I'm considering an i5 6500...

    Set up alert/trigger to send command to Vera / Z-wave?

    Evening all... I'm getting there in setting up my system and wanted to know if there's a guide or previous thread outlining how to have BI interact with Vera. For example: I set up a specific motion zone on my outdoor camera, what I would like to do is if there is motion in the zone...

    Camera Export not working, causing freeze and unable to close Properties out

    I'm trying to export my camera properties in order to clone the camera for another feed. I open properties, click export, and nothing appears to happen. I then try to click OK or CANCEL and I cannot close the camera properties window. I also cannot "X" it out. The feed in the background...

    DISREGARD - Camera disappeared from BI feed on CPU but still on iPhone.

    Hi, I have BI4, had 7 cameras set up, I went into camera 1 to export the settings and BI froze. I had to End Task and reload BI, upon reloading that camera is not in BI CPU interface. It still appears on my iPhone so I know it's there. I checked Show Hidden Cameras, just in case, but still...

    Can you set up two motion triggers on same camera?

    Wondering if this is possible... Here's my setup for the camera: One camera in the front of my house, I have it to record when there is general motion, so when a car passes or activity on sidewalk it will record. I have enough HD space to allow me to do so. What I would also like is to set up...

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    all good points... Again I think i think too much. If I didn't just finish an overbudget remodel, and had some extra funds the wall mount rack is definitely nicer/cleanest way to go. I definitely want it neat, I plan to make it as neat as possible on the wire shelving rack, no lose wires etc...

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    @drew91101 Yea, I see your point. But really the POE switch and one other switch is only thing mounted to wall. I was just hoping to when/if I need to get behind the rack to not have to remove alot of patch cables/switches, which is why I was thinking of two switches one on wall and one on...

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    @tangent, yes that's what I'm planning. all my CAT cables homeruned to the wall right behind the "rack". Put a 24 port patch panel on the wall, that patch panel will handle my POE cameras and also any other CAT cables coming down to that area. From that patch panel, I plan to also have a...

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    So my rack is actually a NFS 5 shelf system on wheels, (about $120) again this is home residential, so I didn't want to go crazy and also wanted to keep my AV equipment in same area so the rack you linked wouldn't have worked. I am going to use the POE switch (8port) soley for my 5-6 IP...

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    Thanks yes. Answer your question - because on my rack I will have my computer (nvr), modem/router, audio reciever, cable box, etc. Therefore, if I'm thinking it out correctly, I need a switch on the rack for all of that stuff and also a switch on the wall if I don't want to have multiple patch...

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    Morning all, simple question, I'm setting up a "rack" not professional, but wired shelving to hold all of my A/V equipment. I have about 5 IP cameras that are all POE, what I'm hoping to do is have all of my CAT cables run to a central punch down then use patch cables from there. What I'm...
