   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.

• Which Security Cameras?

  I use Annke (rebranded HikVision, and firewalled off from the Internet) and Eufy cameras in non-cloud (RTSP) mode. I use Blue Iris[1] as an NVR. I also run Skrypted[2] container on my Synology that concurrently makes me able to use HomeKit Secure Video. I've been using this setup for years. I kinda miss the ease of the cloud, but love the configurability and modularity. 1. https://blueirissoftware.com/ . Blue Iris... - Source: Hacker News / 22 days 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: 7 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: almost 1 year 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

  You mean like Workona? This browser sounds a lot like their extension https://workona.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Mega list of extensions for making the internet less distractive

  - Workona for tab management. I used this a few years ago with reasonable success; only stopped because I didn't need it badly enough at the time. I've been struggling with tabs lately and remembered it yesterday; I've reinstalled it and I'm very pleased so far. I'm a web developer and like to hop between projects, and for each thing I'm doing, I keep a million tabs open... And now that I have a hybrid work... Source: about 2 years ago

• It feels like that sometimes

  This is the main reason I pay for https://workona.com . All tabs get auto-saved. Source: about 2 years ago

• Looking for an app that may save windows arrangement with specific apps and chrome urls and multiple monitors?

  I'm pretty sure that there won't be one single app to solve it all so I'm gonna try to address the Crome part. For that, you can use Workona or Cluster. Source: over 2 years ago

  Ps: If you use Chrome, you should really check out Workona tabs manager. It's been free forever but I got a message today that they finally are going paid with a limited free version. All Workspaces created before Oct 6th remain free they said. It's been a god-send being able to organize all the different topics separately for work, learning, research etc, especially during this.
