Would I rather it at 30%? Yes, thatвЂ™s a good target. If youвЂ™re copying a file, your disk is going to work as fast as it can, which could mean it hits 100% (totally acceptable), but if data is streaming into the system at a certain bandwidth and speed and the disk cannot keep up in saving it, because the disk isnвЂ™t fast enough, or if itвЂ™s also getting used by other processes, thenвЂ¦вЂ¦ well you get the picture, thereвЂ™s a problem.Д«ack to my optimal performance: For me, when running an application like Blue Iris on a dedicated machine where no other heavy applications are running, I like to see the total CPU under 60% because it leaves room for spikes. Pinned resources can be totally normal, but when resources are overloaded and cannot keep up with the demand, then thereвЂ™s an issue. Also, I want to say that when resources, like the CPU, hard drive, GPU, Ethernet or RAM get pinned at 100%, itвЂ™s important to understand why. Given this, I can expect to have a little higher utilization across resources. For example, one of my requirements is continuous recording on all channels and IвЂ™m going to have 10-15 cameras.

This is a subjective matter with many dependencies, like the PC hardware, other programs installed on the machine, number of cameras and resolution and even expectations of the software. Since this video is about setting up Blue Iris and optimizing its performance, I want to define MY optimal performance. ThatвЂ™s our first performance tip using the correct hardware an SSD and a mechanical drive for camera footage management.

I could have used the same SSD drive for Windows and new footage, but it was a personal preference to add the second super-fast drive.

And, in my very latest video, I just reviewed the specifications for this i7 PC, do check that out too, so you are up to speed on my hardware, including the 3 hard drives I have installed an SSD for Windows, an NVMe M.2 drive for Blue IrisвЂ™ new footage and an 8TB Western Digital purple drive for storing footage as a temporary archive. Check out this video on the steps I followed to wipe this machine so itвЂ™s running faster with all the garbage from over the last year whipped out. I recently restored this PC back to Windows defaults. With the latest version 5 and, a clean PC, and a handful of optimization tips, performance is about to change. In the past, IвЂ™ve struggled first hand with the softwareвЂ™s performance issues, system crashes and coming home to lost footage, error messages and even the blue screen of death.
