July 26, 201510 yr I have a xeon/norco build without a built in gpu: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kingfeta/saved/tCJTwP I'm looking to add a Windows vm or docker to run Blue Iris for my 6 IP cameras and save the video on a separate disk/share. I don't have a video card. Can I still achieve this? What are my options? I don't fully understand vm's. I was under the impression that I could remote login into the vm from another Windows box and emulate it somehow...now I'm unsure.
July 27, 201510 yr Yes you can definitely do that in a vm without a video card. You'd simply enable remote desktop and access the machine that way or through vnc. I'm currently doing the same for my blueiris setup.
July 27, 201510 yr I'm using the zoneminder docker to run my ip cams and save the 24/7 data on a HDD mounted outside of the array. I'm very pleased with the results.
July 31, 201510 yr I'm using the zoneminder docker to run my ip cams and save the 24/7 data on a HDD mounted outside of the array. I'm very pleased with the results. How many (HD) cameras do you have? What kind of HW for your Unraid? I am looking into upgrading my unraid from 5 to 6 and was excited about trying out zoneminder docker but I am reading terrible things online about zoneminder being extreme resource hog, doing very poorly with HD cameras (saving video to individual JPGs). Also that text message notifications don't work? thanks!
July 31, 201510 yr Yes you can definitely do that in a vm without a video card. You'd simply enable remote desktop and access the machine that way or through vnc. I'm currently doing the same for my blueiris setup. Hi If I wanted to install Windows VM for Blue Iris do I need CPU with VT-x / VT-d support? thanks
July 31, 201510 yr It is probably not required, but I'd guess that you would get better video encoding performance if you did.
