This is with a i5-3450s.īlue Iris is a great piece of software with a wide range of options which supports many cameras. Using the direct to disk recording option I have 3 2mp cameras and one 1mp camera, all at 15fps and using roughly 25% even with 2 cams recording it stays at about 30. While an i7 is nice, 4-6 cameras can run easy on an i5 (third or fourth generation).

Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure to work with such packages. There are softwares that can analyze to quite ahigh level. There are plenty of wireless sensors for this. Another option is to use a camera with alarm inputs and put a contact on the mailbox door so that when the mailbox is opened, it triggers recording. You can control the areas that motion is sensed from, so if the street is not within the motion area, cars won't set it off. A couple of things to consider would be maybe just setting the motion sense area to a very small area like just around the mailbox or something. I can't really speak straight to Blue Iris because I haven't used it.īut you would be best to do a little reading on Video Analytics in order to learn what you can do and what you'll need in order to do it.
