   Terrible Experience

   I have tried this software and it was the worst experience I have had. First, I had so much trouble connecting up my IP Cameras. I would error messages multiple times and the application kept crashing. Once I finally got everything up and running, I would periodically loose connection to my cameras. I had contacted customer support regarding my issues and they would never respond. There are many other better products than Blue Iris.

• Security cams

  Frigate https://frigate.video/ and ZoneMinder https://zoneminder.com/ come to mind. Blue Iris https://blueirissoftware.com/ is not open source but is what I prefer to use for my PoE systems ($80/yr). Source: 6 months ago

• unable to activate-- blueirissoftware.com down?

  I've had BI running for years-- something went haywire with my setup this morning and now I need to re-activate my license. However, I'm unable to do so within BI, and it appears that blueirissoftware.com is down. Anyone else having issues or know what's going on? Source: 11 months ago

• Trying to get a Blue Iris license - no response from IPcam-central

  Blue Iris' official site is blueirissoftware.com and the company is Perspective Software. Source: 12 months ago

• Looking for an alternative

  Could look into a diy solution like https://blueirissoftware.com/ See what cameras are compatible. Might be some Ethernet based or wifi based cameras out there that would do what you need. Keeps it all local no clouds. Source: about 1 year ago

• Alternative "Reolink cameras" clients

  Blue Iris is said to work well. https://blueirissoftware.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bear alternatives on PC

  You might check out iA Writer. https://ia.net/ If I didn't have a Mac with access to Bear, that's probably what I'd be using. Source: about 1 year ago

• I didn't realize the community has grown so much..

  Obsidian ai (a forked version of this theme is my main, I haven't released it publicly because the ui is a clone of my favourite app iaWriter https://ia.net/, and I don't think that's ethically right to share). Source: over 1 year ago

• Tools for structuring research notes and productivity/creativity

  Ia.net: looks good to build a personal wiki with hyperlinks (which is something I def want) but I fear this can get messy after a while and can loose overview easily. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to find and remove all finished tasks [x] at once in a single txt document?

  Thanks, it works! Could you share a link to learn more about patterns and how to use them. Unfortunately I couldn't find any info on ia.net. Source: almost 2 years ago

• iA Writer's new site is up—where's the new update?

  I went to ia.net today to see if they had updated to a new site yet, and they had! Source: almost 2 years ago
