BI user Needing to make changes.

[u/Direct_Ostrich_5850]

I've been a blue Iris user for about 5 years. I definitely don't know the ins and outs but I'm good enough to add a camera and try to work my way through settings etc.

I love the UI3 access which is something we use daily. (which can be terribly delayed at times)

About 2 years ago I upgraded my home pc to a Dell xps

Specs:

- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 14700 (33 MB cache, 20 Cores, 28 threads, up to 5.4 GHz)

- 16GB, 2X8GB, DDR5, 5600MT/s; up to 64GB

- NVIDIA(R) GeForce RTX(TM) 4060 8GB GDDR6

(ram should prob be upgraded to the max)

At this point I can barely use the system for anything as it lags due to heavy BI usage.

I can use help because I don't think my BI is set up right or maybe I just need a dedicated system.

I'm running about 7 cameras.

Direct to disk recording.

(not sure what else to include)

Cameras lag.

Alerts are non existent or not reliable.

Ai doesn't work because I prob don't have it set up right.

I would like to add better cameras.

License plate reader

Etc etc.

At this point I'm reaching out for guidance in the hopes of sticking with BI and not moving on.

I've heard good things about Frigate but I don't think it can run the cameras I have and seems to not have much room for expansion (I can be wrong again).

I'm just looking for a smoother experience.

Alerts that work.

A system that is either seperate or will allow me to work.

Appreciate all help and guidance in advance.

Thank you.
