   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.

• Increasing Your Cloud Function Development Velocity Using Dynamically Loading Python Classes

  One of the issues developers can encounter when developing in Cloud Functions is the time taken to deploy changes. You can help reduce this time by dynamically loading some of your Python classes. This allows you to make iterative changes to just the area of your application that you’re working on. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Need some advice on API key storage

  I've been looking at Google Secret Manager which sounds promising but I've not been able to find any examples or tutorials that help with the actual practical details of best practice or getting this working. I'm currently reading about Cloud Functions which also sound promising but again, I'm just going deeper and deeper into GCP without feeling like I'm gaining any useful insights. Source: 6 months ago

• Golden Ticket To Explore Google Cloud

  Serverless computing was also introduced, where the developers focus on their code instead of server configuration.Google offers serverless technologies that include Cloud Functions and Cloud Run.Cloud Functions manages event-driven code and offers a pay-as-you-go service, while Cloud Run allows clients to deploy their containerized microservice applications in a managed environment. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Isolate a resource intensive task (in C++) from a Django Web app and restructure a web app

  Lambda is made for your use case :). It doesn’t have to be AWS there are plenty of other serverless computing services like: - Google cloud functions - Azure functions Etc. Source: 11 months ago

• Need Guidance

  Once you have some basic familiarity with programming, try deploying one of your Python programs to the cloud. Start with Cloud Functions, because that doesn't require any knowledge of Linux server administration. Source: 11 months ago

• 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: 5 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: 10 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: 11 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
