    Alerts Question

    what do you mean by 1? do you mean set the Alerts folder to 1 gigabyte size? Well, let me ask this.. when setting the Alerts in the camera settings to Database only.. does that mean that the pointers will be deleted once the clip is deleted?

    Alerts Question

    ah, so the pointers just won't be in high def? So all the other folders should be 0 and only use the New?

    Alerts Question

    I recently upgraded my Hard Drive to a 6 TB. I have been reading some posts on how to setup storage saying to only use the New folder not more than 90% of the full capacity.. DONE. (4.6 TB) I read that Alerts are not really needed, but I am a bit confused. If I set the camera setting "Add to...

    Yes, but I am not using the GPU for AI. I even turned off HA completely.

    PC upgrade question

    Great idea, but I wanna preserve my life at least until Christmas! But on a serious note.. the performance I see on that 3700x (in blue iris) is what I was expecting out of this new i5..which to me was a shocker. I was not expecting this outcome at all as I was leaning so much on the benchmarks.

    PC upgrade question

    All computers are running Windows 11. All Blue Iris machines have exactly the same configuration as I use the same config file, so every setup is exactly the same with the exact the same settings. I found strange that the wife's PC, Ryzen 7 3700x... according to the benchmarks, the i5 12 gen...

    PC upgrade question

    Well, this is interesting. I should have tested this from the beginning. I installed Blue Iris on my wife's computer which is a Ryzen 7 3700x. Same configuration, same Code Project version, same cameras, all recording continuously .. Blue Iris is showing at 12-13% in task manager

    PC upgrade question

    The main reason I wanted to get a "Better" computer is because I am planning on upgrading my cameras to 8 MP. So eventually the lowest camera I will have will be 4MP. They will be 8MP/5PM/4MP. According to the specs on this computer, I can upgrade the CPU to an i7-12700F (12 core / 20 threads)...

    PC upgrade question

    Let me see if I understood you. You have two computers side by side running identical systems (blue iris), fresh install on both of them. You open Task Manager and see Blue Iris showing 34% on one PC and the other shows 24%.. that means the difference (improvement) is 30-40%?

    PC upgrade question

    I understand what you are saying.. it still doesn't explain why the new CPU only lowers the utilization by no more than 10% when they are both using the same AI. I honestly was expecting a much better performance difference between the two.

    PC upgrade question

    @wittaj Yea, I understand how the substreams work. But because mine are so crappy (480p), I don't like to use them because I have a dedicated monitor with the cameras on live view 24/7. So I like for them to be at full quality all the time. I understand that using substreams will help reduce the...

    Are you using substreams? I am not.

    PC upgrade question

    Not an issue with the i7-6700. Sometimes 2-3 of my cameras detect motion at the same time and the CPU can take it, no issues.

    PC upgrade question

    They are both using Code Project. I do not use and do not like using sub streams as I prefer to be able to see the cameras live view as sharp as I can. Only 3 of my cameras support using Intel Hardware decode.

    PC upgrade question

    Yes, It's a fresh installation of Windows 11. I would have thought If a CPU in Blue Iris was in the 30s with the old CPU, I would be in the teens with this new one. I guess I am asking for too much. The good thing is I have 30 days to return it. I just can't justify this for what I am getting...

    PC upgrade question

    I was actually comparing the CPU utilization at the bottom of Blue Iris itself and that was the same on both computers. I have them running side by side to compare. But when I look in Task Manager, the i7-6700 shows Blue Iris at 32-34% and the i5-12400 shows 23-24%. I guess that's an...

    PC upgrade question

    So I ended up getting the i5-12400. Set it up with same config file, same cameras. I see no difference at all in CPU utilization. With my old i7-6700 It would hover between 12-15%. Almost exactly the same with the new one. I'm so disappointed, I thought I was going to see a big difference, but I...

    PC upgrade question

    But the core/threads are faster too on the older cpu. Are you saying that even though the i5 has slower clocks and less threads, it would still perform better than the i7 in Blue Iris?

    PC upgrade question

    I'm not really worried about power consumption. I just want to get the one that will be the best for Blue Iris out of the two. The one that can handle more cameras with less CPU utilization.

    PC upgrade question

    Halo, I am looking to upgrade my i7-6700 and I have been looking into a couple of options. i7-10700 i5-12400 I know the i5 does much better in benchmarks compared to the i7-10700, but the reason I am unsure which one to get is because I read that Blue Iris benefits with more threads. The...
