I have not ever used, and am considering trying, BI for my system. Currently I have 5 Reolink cameras. I have a high end QNAP NAS that includes QVR surveillance software but it has been very problematic in that cameras disconnect often, and recording starts and stops for seemingly no reason. The Reo...

Thank you for that explanation. It is making more sense to me now. I'm using Reolink RLC-410 5MP cameras and they do in camera motion detection. Will BI take advantage of that and thus not spend CPU cycles on motion detection? Will BI allow me to see what portions of the recording have motion and wh...

I'd like to understand what the CPU is doing when BI is running and why such a powerful CPU is needed to support a dozen cameras. The H.264 encoding is happening in the camera. The computer just needs to record those bit streams onto disc. Not much CPU power needed there, just data movement. I under...
