Message-ID: <f59fe003-bd33-5ab5-5e2d-b54e4e394...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Hi all, my question is about motion piping. I am using a Lenovo i5 4 core 650 CPU with 3.20 GHz x 4 Currently using 3 cameras, all Hiks, 2 and 4 MP each. The cameras are using up 30-35% resources. I have altogether 10 cameras, but when I use all of them in motion (even without recording clips or pics) it chokes at 100% CPU use (all cores). As I am reading through the manpages again, i read a section on piping, apparently making use of the cores as motion only uses single core, is that correct? Does anyone have experience with piping, would it possibly reduce the CPU load?
