This is my first post although I have read many over the years and learned a great deal from the experience of others. I've been using Blue Iris since 2015, but I've been a CCTV technician since 1989. My system has predominately Hikvision cameras, but also I've experimented with Axis, Amcrest and one Anpviz (which is giving me trouble currently).
My system is currently a Dell rack-mount server with 12 core Intel Xeon X5670 @ 2.93GHz 64 bit OS with 96 Gig of RAM. I'm running around 29 Cameras, recording continuous sub-streams and 8 to 12 fps upon motion trigger, with my CPU usage being 4 to 6% over 1.8GB ram. Storage is four internal drives configured in a RAID totaling just over 4TB, which gives me a back log of 16 to 20 days, depending on the season.
If anyone has successfully added an Anpviz dual element 8MP camera to BI without it freezing every 90 seconds I'd be interested to know your settings.
