Thank you Virtuguy Yes, I read about this recently. I do need to do some optimsation on BI including what the new version offers along with motion trigger happening at the camera level with onvif providing the necessary data to kick off recording. I guess I could work on that on the current...

Thank you. Unraid is the option to go for me currently. I am wondering if BI will work ok without any IGPU or physical GPU with the new optimisations.

Hi really quick question @Patrick Do you know if there are newer Xeons now with iGPU?

Hi, i know this is a super old thread, but I have been reading with interest. I have similar requirements but I am at a loss because I have an additional software to deal with Blue Iris IP Cam software. @IamSpartacus if you have had any luck with your build, I am interested to hear your...
