   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.

• Qumagie won’t show video Thumbnails (TS-130). I have photo and video station working and it seems that multimedia console has generated thumbnails. But in reality only pic thumbnails are shown at qumagie. Any suggestions? Tnx

  Not sure I’m a fan of QuMagie - I’ve started using https://photoprism.app with Qfile on the mobile to backup the photos …. Source: over 1 year ago

• Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or _?_ on _?_?

• Ask HN: Any good FOSS solutions to organize the family albums?

  I would also recommend checking out PhotoPrism for a robust self hosted endpoint. One of the features that sets that project apart is its implementation of object and facial detection to help classify and sort or search your library. It's worked well for me in limited (<10k imgs) use so far, but I haven't had the time yet to throw my entire 100k+ library at it. https://photoprism.app/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• 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 / 23 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

• 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: about 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
