Salut à tous 😉 Très intéressant comme projet 👍 J'adore votre professionnalisme 😇 ainsi que votre configuration 😎

Thanks for the emphasis on a properly setup computer for Blue Iris. I am currently using a 4 year old stock Dell XPS with i7-3440 and 8GB and no SSD and no graphics card. Your tips should help me drastically improve my dedicated but choked 12 camera system.

Thanks for the ideas, now I record direct to hard drive with audio and save two weeks before it loops, I'll add more cameras soon. Cheers

Great video! Thank you!

What’s the advantage of building a server vs the pc build for blue iris? I’m trying to determine which route I should go. Thanks for any advice

I have wanted to use blue iris for years but it seems so overwhelming for me to understand/learn. But I am getting a new computer in a couple of weeks and can dedicate my old i7 to the blue iris software. But I am still overwhelmed! Do they offer an under-whelming video,? lol Your videos are VERY helpful . thank you!

Great work! Quick question, what camera set-up do you have? They look nice and crispy. Thanks in advanced

Here is my setup from a couple years back. kzread.info/dash/bejne/k46axZWHhqWqqps.html I have since added some Reolink cameras: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKulk5itdpWseMY.html

if i use an 8mp ip camera, do i also have to use a 4k monitor and an hdmi 2.0 cable to achieve the maximum resolution? I previously heard the issue that the Hikvision NVR cannot use the HDMI cable version 2.0, is it true?

Will Intel NUC work for an surveillance system?

thanks , this is helpful to me, I have a Lorex NVR that has stop recording and playback. I would love to set up a system like yours from scratch. How can I get help in doing this.

@@HomeTechDIY Thank You for the returned reply. I'm currently using a HP Z230 SSF Workstation, running blue Iris. With only a 230 watt PS, and no foreseen way to update this SSF into a higher PS, this PC don't have the "ummhp" to run blue iris. So, I'll be upgrading the whole PC using the PC in your video. By the way! Excellent presentation. Straight foward and user friendly....Best Regards.

Which used PC would you recommend 8 to 16 cams? Also, I have some Lorex IP cams, how would you set them up or connect to the computer?

The PC specs depend on the software you plan on using for you camera management. Most options will call our their minimum and recommended specs. The PC in my video is perfect for my system of 13 cameras ranging from 3-12MP. If you are considering Blue Iris, do check out my video on performance tips. Before purchasing software make sure it's compatible with your Lorex cameras. I would connect them to your network using a PoE switch. Hope this helps!

2 years later, are you still using the same setup? If so, how is the NVMe SSD lasting? I know these have a limited lifespan, particularly when doing a lot of re-writing

@HomeTechDIY

Hey! Yes, I am still using this very same setup. The NVMe SSD seems to be holding up just fine; no issues that I have noticed. I am however starting to see some issues with the Windows drive (500GB Samsung 850EVO SSD). When I reboot the machine for Windows updates, the BIOS complains of a possible disk issue. I don't think it's related to the excess reading/writing of the NVMe, but still worth calling out. Hope this helps!

If I had 12 Cameras... Would your setup support a bunch of 8mp 4k Cameras? Eventually will add more cameras so need some head room too..

You can duplicate an HDMI monitor using these extenders: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mW2Ok9yPY5m2f9o.html If you want a the second monitor to show just the cameras (BI) and your first monitor to be something else (email, youtube, etc) then you will need 1) 2 video ports on your computer, and then right click on your desktop and go into Display Settings. Here you can extend your desktop. 2) a video port that supports daisy chaining (and a video that supports it). This option gets complicated and had a whole set of new challenges.

I have 11 Amcrest cameras and wanted to move 4 of them down to the second monitor. I have the BI monitor run with an HDMI cable and the second monitor running from a display port on the same BI computer to hdmi on the monitor . I have the two monitors set up to not be duplicate? Thank you very much for the info. I may have the wrong cables?@@HomeTechDIY

I have never tested this, but BI has a feature where you can move cameras to a "desktop frame". If you right click on a camera, select "Open in desktop frame" and add the cameras you want in that frame, then move the frame to the other monitor. Let me know if that helps. I don't have any monitors on my PC and access it via Remote Desktop, so I can't try this out.

Correct. Mixing brands back in the IDE days might be questionable but no compatibility issues with drivers nowadays. However, I would caution mixing brands on a RAID 0 drive, only because I haven't striped a drive in a while.
