I think you should go to IPCamTalk and ask this question LoL

But, to be honest. I think the biggest issues is the CPU cores you would need to allocate and the potential inability to passthrough the GPU processing power.

That’s interesting, how in BI do you then zoom in and out? I tap the + or - in the dial. It is interactive. I imagine the pan/tilt would be the same but I only have z and not pt. Do recognize that if you have any zones, they will be warped and not accurate to the original settings if you zoom in or...

BI will certainly use all the CPU cores. One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of us have been around BI for a long time. We have opinions set based on facts that could be 5 years old. Back in the day, the operating models very heavily relied on decoding the full streams and if you wanted to captu...

Your camera needs to be able to support ONVIF commanding AND you need to set up the ONVIF settings in the camera setup. I'm forgetting the specifics now but play around with the ONVIF setup for your camera in BI. Maybe inspect your camera in the BI camera settings and see if ONVIF control is availab...

I am aware of using the webUI for each individual camera. However I want a vms application to load up to 4 cameras on the screen so I can line them up next to each other and adjust zoom all in one screen. This is something that can be done in an IPC tester but those are chinsey and not outdoor rate...

If you plan on using the GPU for AI motion detection, then look into getting a Google Coral Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) instead. It is inexpensive, is better than a high end GPU at AI motion detection, and uses 2 to 4 watts of total power doing so. If this is accurate (no reason to doubt), it woul...

I didn't use a graphics card with BI5 until CPAI. Before CPAI and sub-streams, the Intel cpu graphics was used as an accelerator. It all depends on what you will be doing with BI5, how many cameras you will have etc. Good point. I am getting a little old in my experiences. In my aged experience the...

I must say that sadly that windows had worked just as badly than I fear. Compared to unifi video in vm what crashed about once in 1-2year BI got stuck or OS start hang once in 1-2month. It is really sad that this usefull server software had choosen go with windows. Oh well. Sorry. Good luck with wh...

BI can be intimidating if you try to bite off too much at one time.

If you are new, try the basics such as simple zone-crossing alerts before diving into the latest AI detection methods.
