There's no monthly fee, but you do have the cost of running that Windows 10 machine. What does that amount to? At 100W and $0.14/kWh I calculate about $10, which is competitive with something like Nest Aware.
- Mister_Snuggles 8y agoThis really depends on the machine and how you deploy it. I picked up a refurbished SFF business desktop type of machine and the power draw is only 40-60W (with Blue Iris running and recording from all of my cameras). This is definitely a consideration though. More cameras and/or higher resolution cameras will result in more power consumption or require a beefier machine.
