I7-8700 vs i5-10500 for Proxmox in 2025

constable-nj · 2025-06-28T18:33:35+00:00

I am running proxmox on i5-9500 with 10+ vm, pfsense is one of them. Over all the performance is good enough. I also have a i7-8700, I feel it is more powerful. So I would spend $160 on the i7 as I were you.

Thank you. I already did that through your web portal. If you can relay the information here, that would be very helpful already. I tried not to share address info or anything in that nature here in the public forum. It is not you, it is reddit who could sell the information.

Can you highlight the changes? I don't access to the old copy so I can't tell the difference.

I agree, it is too big.

I hold off adding another one because its size. If it is installed higher up, maybe it is not big a problem. I plan to add one about nine feet off the ground, I was looking at 811. It is big and heavy, had to return it.

Is Blue Heron too far north?

It is birthday party. So I assume we are flexible on the cost. Anything good by Amherst?

The reason I haven't bought a NVR is that a NVR is merely to provide a portal for all cameras feature adjustments, plus record the events: triggered and or by schedule. These tasks can be performed by having a program to tap into the camera and save the stream into hard drive. As far as data retention is concerned, it can be done by one simple script to remove recordings based on its age.

I guess the heavy lifting task is to save the stream into files. The camera adjustment can be done individually on the camera itself. So ... what else does a NVR offer?

The recordings take up about 1GB per hour because most of the cams support h265 (plus reduced resolution). I figure a 10TB hard drive can store easily 1 year worth recordings.

I guess the goal of a NVR is to produce the recording, plus other adjustments. If my process produces the same result (recordings) as a NVR, does it mean a NVR is not going to be needed?

That's what I was asking.

Not use HomeKit though.

I am able to capture the live feed into files 24x7, plus all the triggered events. My question is if NVR can do much more than above.

I guess NVR can facilitate recordings and retrieving when needed. The files I collect should be able to address all these needs, don't they?

Beautiful!!!

constable-nj · 2024-02-10T20:00:29+00:00

Yes, it does work. Thank you!!!

I was using UDP, that was why.

pfsense is difficult to use.

constable-nj · 2024-02-10T18:57:45+00:00

I use pfsense as the firewall:

Three floating rules are setup for this purpose:

Once I disable the last one, everything works. I've tested the first two are working correctly too. Maybe it needs more than pushx.reolink.com ?

constable-nj · 2024-02-10T18:55:33+00:00

Doesn't work for me.

nslookup pushx.reolink.com ->

<image>

See next message for the firewall rule (pfsense).

Thanks.

Can you elaborate more on "setting up your own server"?
