I'm going to let the BI "pc" do cameras and the unRAID "pc" do NAS, and use the G6's for compute stuff (one is running VMware ESXi with about 6 VM's, the other now has Ubuntu 14 native). Same thing happened with the unRAID on the i5. As soon as I started running all their "station" apps (web, ftp, dns, mail, photo, surveillance) on that little ARM processor, the NAS started to suffer. Like I learned with the Synology, just because you can doesn't mean you should. I know sooner or later I'm going to say to myself "hey, I bet this would run better on that machine" and totally hose up a weekend getting greedy and moving stuff around between computers. There's also a flaky Synology DS1511+ in the mix, and the 2 HP D元80 G6's that is an enterprise class server and drives are ridiculously priced for it.
XEOMA VS BLUE IRIS PC
My BI "server" is a desktop PC with an and 16GB RAM running Winders 8. It takes a few years in a hobby to realize you're paying too much sometimes to just buy a name (which is why I'm now going to try out that Reolink? camera mentioned back in this thread).
XEOMA VS BLUE IRIS SERIES
Now I pretty much have Hikvision DS2CD series camera models all across the board. Then I bought a few Foscam's and got my ass handed to me by a guy on a camera forum when I had trouble with them when I installed BI. They're both still working, but very low res. Believe it or not they cost over $800 each. Yeah, I started with a Panasonic BB-HCM381A about 15 years ago. I can tell that because all my cameras display a time stamp (easy way to tell if any are frozen) and I see the clock roll fast and skip numbers. And when I click/open a camera it still takes a second or two to clear up, then I see the video moves at what looks like normal speed for a few seconds, then it plays catch-up in quick motion. Also, some of the previews are sharp and some are pixilated, at least until I click them. I learned that I could redirect the archives as well as the folder names just in time.Ī few things that bother me are that Xeoma is still a second or two behind in the matrix live video view. I had the archives going to the local disk which is only 300GB and had to mount an unRAID share fast so I didn't fill up the filesystem. All 16 CPUs are running on average 20-30%. I have all 11 cameras online and am using 5 modules each: Camera, Motion, Preview+Archive, Problems, Email, and the load averages are around 3. I'm learning hard and fast with this one. So the DL-380 G6 seems to be holding up well.
