   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.

• Bambulab vs prusa vs ??

  Software wise I've installed motionEyeOS which allows the camera feed to be accessible in a browser, or even hooked up to home assistant so it can be accessed in your mobiles home app. For the camera itself I'm using the original Raspberry Pi camera. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Do open WiFi security cameras exist?

  Check out MotioneyeOS on a raspberry pi https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeos As open == do things for yourself; you can easily put together a self charging 18650 battery kit or power from some other source. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Raspberry Pi NVR

  I'd recommend motionEyeOS if you're just getting started. Source: about 2 years ago

• I took 525,600 pictures in 2021. Here's 365 of them.

  For those curious, these were taken with a Raspberry Pi running Motion iOS. Source: over 2 years ago

• Raspberry Pi Blackbox

  Have you heard of MotionEyeOS? Motion is the main program, MotionEye is a browser-based UI for it, and the MotionEyeOS is everything wrapped up with a bow on it. Set up a NAS share (2nd Pi?) and you should be good. Source: over 2 years ago

Blue Iris mentions (55)

• 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: 10 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
