Sadly, the low cpu usage only lasted for a day or so and now its back to intermittent 30% and my fan is constantly on

I did report this issue to Reolink support back when I posted here and they said they would report it their programmers to see if they could do anything. This morning I got updated to a new version, 18.15.6, and the issue seems to be greatly improved. It's not perfect, but I'm seeing CPU usage consistently below 5% and the power usage is either moderate or low, and not hitting very high anymore - my fan is no longer kicking in.

I'll keep monitoring this today to see if it continues, but as for right now, I'm super happy, thank you Reolink!

I am having the exact issue. I have an older camera with 6 cameras that I'd like to replace. I can keep the old system running all day and it only uses .1% cpu and very lower power usage, while if I run the Reolink cameras with 4 wifi feeds, after 5-10 mins it's using upto 30% cpu and Very High power usage. Kicks my fan in and I have to close it because I can't stand the noise. I have an i7 notebook with 16g and a dedicated GPU.

I contacted support and they said they would ask the software team to optimize the software but that there was nothing they could do at present.

It is interesting you say that the older 32 bit version doesn't have this issue, I would consider downgrading, but they have made so many good fixes in the last few versions I would not want to give that up.
