My BI machine (I assembled) is based on an Intel I5-8600k 3.6g with 16Gb of Ram, 6 cores with a decent graphics card. I have spinning disks for long term storage (4 TB) but ssd (1 TB) for OS and temp storage.
The CPU sits around 50-60% all day with 8Gb or ram used with the camera grid display on. If I stop the local display it drops the CPU usage pretty dramatically. The key is the record direct to disk setting which reduces the CPU cycles and makes it nice. I also record with pretty high frame rates & resolutions, my lowest frame rate is around 16 fps with most set at 24 fps or so (depends on the camera generally, door & pool cameras are highest).
- giantg2 6y agoHow many cameras are you running?
- davismwfl 6y ago12 and I still have a few to add. At some point I will have to either upgrade my BI server CPU or split the camera's likely.
- giantg2 6y agoThanks! I've been thinking about doing something like this with maybe 4 or 5 cameras. But I was hoping I could do it on a low energy consumption platform, like a Pi. Your info at least tells me I need something a bit more powerful (and of course Windows based).
