I’ve been using Blue Iris for both home and business scenarios since 2018. I am currently running 9 servers for businesses and 1 server for my home. I have several business servers set up with 25+ cameras and 100+ terabyte RAID5 arrays. I have been very satisfied with how well Blue Iris works, especially for the price. Just be aware that there is a learning curve, so be ready to spend some time initially learning and configuring Blue Iris. Your effort will pay off.

I have been using 2 NVR’s for the past several years. After purchasing Blue Iris V5, I have to wonder why I have using the NVR’s. Blue Iris has many more functions for a lot less money. I am confident future updates will only improve on what is already the most full featured software VM I have come across. Thank You Blue Iris and IPCT for a great product.

This is the second copy of Blue Iris that I have installed. Very pleased with the software, features, ease of use. I run a mix of analog and IP cameras. I even tried a USB camera once just to see it work (as was advertised), All in all, I’m very satisfied with this security camera software Recommended

I have experience with NVRs with built in software. With Blue Iris, I was able to make a NVR at a lower cost with more flexibility and expandability. The AI features are great and there is a large community of users with a depth of knowledge to assist with fine tuning. I waited too long to get Blue Iris.

Recently upgraded my dedicated surveillance PC using Blue Iris 4 so I thought I’d upgrade the Blue Iris software to version 5 as well. Everything went well without any hiccups. Easy “export” from the old computer with BI4, and “import” to the new computer. Some IP configuration work on the router and I got all my 8 Amcrest cameras working well. Transition between BI4 to BI5 was easy as both software versions are very similar.

Software seems to do what it’s supposed to. I purchased a refurbished HP mini PC specifically for this software as per Blue Iris recommendations. Looking forward to fine tuning the settings and see how much control I have over motion sensing and recording.

I was trying to use my 4 Amcrest IP cameras to capture night videos of how deer are getting through my electric and physical fences and into my yard, where they chew down every hosta, rose bush or hydrangea and then into the veggie garden where they will eat every soft shoot, tomato, beet, spinach, anything, the whole catastrophe. Amcrest Surveillance Pro was uncooperative. After downloading the trial version of BI, I found it much easier to configure the cameras, and I am no techie. I now have video of those brazen hussies (actually it is the same brazen hussy night after night) and can see the spots she is jumping over. She is quite an athlete, but I live inside a big forest on the side of the mountain, there is no lack of soft shoots for her to eat out there. She just prefers my room and board!

After many years of struggling with a range of (mostly) free Windows NVRs like Abelcam, iVMS-4200, Genius Vision, Milestone, Luxriot I finally took the jump and bought a license key for Blue Iris. I had of course thought about doing that earlier, but always hesitated because of the allegedly high CPU demands.
I bought a used Dell desktop with an i7-6700 processor, 16 GB of memory and a 4 TB disk and my worries about the CPU load were proven unjustified. Blue Iris ran smoothly with 12 HD cams and CPU usage remained under 10%.
Then I added DeepStack to the equation and now CPU usage varies between 10 and 90%. I have no problem with that, but I still have to tweak the settings a bit so I think I can reduce the load.
So now I have a fully operational IP cam system with loads of opportunities to fiddle and tweak, so many things to try: I just love it!

Fast and painless purchase via the IP Cam Talk arrangement with Amazon at a great price as well — especially if you also use an Amazon Visa. A very cool way for the forum folks to support their readers/members. Well done.
And Blue Iris obviously speaks for itself. If you’re on the fence about taking the plunge, you probably will sooner or later. At the current price here? Just do it now and don’t look back. You’ll be happy you did.

I came from a somewhat proprietary NVR system. Flexibility with camera types was paramount for me. I’ve had it for 2 weeks and am loving it. I added a couple of
EMPIRETECANDY’s cameras and am looking forward to expanding my system. The software has so many options. I’ve been reading the forums here and am slowly customizing it to fit my wants and needs as I learn.

After the 2 week trial I decided to buy it, and it seems to be the cheapest here. Happy that I bought it here.

Powerful software, takes some getting used to if you never set up a PC based NVR, but if you have some networking knowledge, you’ll sure figure it out just fine.
I like the DeepStack integration, which analyzes your footage to significantly reduce false alerts of moving bushes, and together with a 3rd party tool called AI Tool, you can send snapshots of detection footage over to Telegram, which is almost instant.
Conclusion: great software if you want more features than a regular NVR can offer you.

I have multiple installations of Blue Iris, and I can’t say enough good about it. It is incredible how configurable it is. It takes some tweaking when you want to use some of the more interesting features, but once it’s set up, it does the job with style. I have used it with cameras from many different vendors, and most of the time it already knows what to do. If it doesn’t set them up for you, the support and community are amazing at helping you figure it out. Incredible product, particularly for the price. I can’t recommend it more.

I’ve used older versions of Blue Iris with moderate success but I never felt like it was stable or mature enough for all my needs. Version 5 changed that. Blue Iris is now rock solid and has all the features of products costing many times more. It is very flexible and was very easy to migrate cameras from a variety of other systems.
I am excited to be able to manage all my cameras on one system again.

Purchase # 17. The majority of VMS and NVR software do not actually “get better” or become more user friendly over their lifespan. BI is the exception in this case.
This application started out as a Chevrolet and is now a Cadillac. anyone, at any aptitude level is capable of rolling out this intuitive easy to manage NVR. it works perfectly locally and over WAN, including SD WAN. we have tested on AWS and Azure pulling streams from several different states and via any high speed internet provider whether copper coax PTP PTMP or even 4 or 5g hotspots.
It is important to note, your server hardware should always exceed that of recommended resources when you run NVR software where many IP cameras are in the video network. please check out the tools BI have created to assist in your journey, configuration and pleasure. our NVR’s do not fail to capture all motion activated triggers, not a single one. we have began rolling out this app to government facilities 7 years ago, on their own segregated VLAN.
We have removed many Video Insight servers or NVR’s/ software, ONSSI, Pelco, Milestone, Genetec ETC applications to replace with Blue Iris and the staff still provide praise years later. these locations are fine with the yearly upgrade fee because they do not have to spend unnecessary time with the aforementioned manufacturers or prior integrators “free” support. this free support was very costly over the years our clients have stated as the price of payroll becomes expensive.
This software is definitely going to become a competitor to Genetec sooner or later as the IOT and MQTT aspects work perfectly.
I cannot say enough about the support and Dev teams, though relatively small they provide timely assistance and quality updates patches and have even added some abilities for us and other integrators. we have slated 9 additional installs in the next 65 days totaling 289 cameras all in government facilities.
Remember, the software works perfectly, often times we receive requests from other persons asking for help and find their servers are either old, clunky or under-resourced. cheap POE+ switches are ok but why step over dollars and frustration to save mere pennies. if you are going to setup video security, spend your hard earned money on quality hardware. the used or refurbed market has a vast amount of hardware available and often the sellers stand behind their used products. Please remember to locate and add your cameras second streams to each camera’s settings. this will save on server resources. some mid grade to higher end cameras have ability to broadcast the second or 3rd streams automatically and we have noticed Blue Iris will populate the 2nd or 3rd stream automatically. Excellent job, Blue Iris Team!! this software is way too cheap.
Dig into the UI settings, your colors and layout are fully customizable. if you are new to this product, please reach out to the help threads on this and other sites, folks will help you. as with any new product, please read the manual, peruse the YouTube videos and become a member of the communities.
Caution on the cheap cameras, some work fine while some just plain suck. you get what you pay for, camera-wise. Patients will often render a nicely functional system of any type if we read and seek help. Cheers to the software engineers and support staff!!!!

I used to run QVR Pro on my QNAP device. QVR Pro however is very protective of the video files, prohibiting me from keeping a real-time sync going to an off-site cloud storage. Their suggestion was to do it as a daily back up job (how is that for security ;-)).
I’ve picked up a black-friday offer on Blue Iris, it is now running on a Windows VM on my Unraid server. I’ve set it up and let it running for about a week now and starting to get a feel for it. Tweaking an configuring which files to keep, how long, where, tweiking the alerting etc is a learning curve, but I’ll get there.
Very happy with my purchase, though. Support from ipcamtalk was flawless, quick and professional. Thanks you!

Previous to using BI, I was running a Hikvision NVR – but the inability to integrate other branded cameras I already own annoyed me.
Add to that the lack of firmware upgrades to my Hik gear – which pushed me to look into BI.
I tested several other Linux based options but none of them really did everything I wanted, or were just a bit ugly all ’round, or simply didn’t perform on my re-purposed old i3 machine. Using the 2nd’ary stream for 24×7 recording and the full res. one for ‘detected’ situations really lowers the CPU requirements.
I’ve still yet to delve into the finer details of BI, but it was simple to get up and running and there are decent articles out there (including the perf. tuning one) that really helped short-cut my learnings (which is highly appreciated).
So far the main thing on my wishlist which I expect is unlikely to change is that it would run on Linux rather than Windows – both from a licensing cost perspective as well as not having Windows suck the performance out of my system like it does.
My cameras and BI NVR are in their own firewalled VLAN, so I can vouch that everything still works even with having zero access to the internet (except auto-updates, obviously). I would not run a camera system (esp. with Chinese cameras) any other way.
Anyway, thumbs up from me – having my (headless) gear shoved into a rack means that the web server interface works pretty efficiently and is highly appreciated as my main method to accessing the system.
ED VERGARA (verified owner) –
After many hours of trials, I finally have to a point where it’s usable for my use. I have to admit that I had to read the manual where some of the functions were confusing and even searched the internet on how to create additional views.
As a physical security system consultant I am used to the top tier video management systems such as Genetec, Milestone, ONSSI, Verint, etc. In fact what I was replacing for my home system was Milestone which has gotten too cumbersome for a home system due to their new security requirements. Milestone provides free recording for up to 8 cameras so it was perfect for my use; it also allowed to keep up to date with the system. For easy viewing especially for remote viewing I was using Hanwha’s Wisenet WAVE. WAVE costs a one time license fee of approximately $125/camera … not in my budget for home use.
A big plus for Blue Iris is the price; it’s definitely worth it based on the functionality you get. A big minus is the clunky user interface; there are many hidden functions which are not obvious to the new user, e.g., creating a new view is not even called “create new view” but instead it’s called “Copy to a new group”. And editing the layout is an abomination; you can move the cameras around but the result is almost like a random layout. And there must be a bug because after layout for awhile it was like it was just doing it’s thing. Thankfully it started to behave properly (or as expected) after restarting the computer and starting up Blue Iris again.
But as I said earlier for the price I paid for the application, it’s worth some of the quirkiness of the software. I give it 3 stars for the user interface and 5 stars for value.

I am a newbie to security camera technology. I started with buying a hardware NVR….what a mistake. I sent that back and bought Blue Iris V5 from IPCT(for a sweet $12 savings).

I am a diehard Mac fanboy when it comes to the machines I have to interact with on a daily basis, and for everything else including servers, custom IoT appliances, and network infrastructure I run debian or redhat. For a very long time I tried to find high quality, customizable, and widely-compatible NVR software that would run on Linux without breaking the bank. Sadly, such a product does not exist. Shinobi is close, but even for a veteran linux sysadmin it was a horribly byzantine process just to get it running, let alone doing what I needed. Everything else was either crap, or way too expensive and overkill
I finally relented, found a refurbished i7 thin PC on eBay with Win10Pro, threw BI on it, and within a day I was up and running. I am running 3x HD cams inside and 3x 4k cams outside, all recording continuously to a large HDD, and it’s barely eating 50% of the CPU.
The software is intuitive if you are one of those people who can just sorta make anything work by poking at it for a while, but for everyone else, make sure to read the instructions and do some thorough research. This is prosumer/professional software and you should have a good understanding of how video encoding works, what all the different options do, and a decent understanding of TCP/IP if you want to mess with remote viewing.
If you don’t feel extremely comfortable with highly technical systems, this software is not for you. Buy a dedicated, purpose-built NVR that will just do what you need. But if you DO know a lot about networking, computer engineering, and/or surveillance systems, then BI is just about the best piece of software out there.

This software is by far the most economical on a per camera basis with the ability to add up to 64 cameras. The hardware requirements depends on your camera setup but I have not had any issues running 19 cameras on a Intel i5-10600 machine.
The software was intuitive and easy to figure out for me, but for a beginner I would do my research and read other posts to thoroughly understand what you should and should not expect from this. Overall this is a good value for your money.

I am a Mac user, so I resisted buying this software for a long time. I finally figured out that I should probably run this on it’s own dedicated machine anyway, so who needs a Mac version. I bought a cheapo refurb PC on Amazon and got everything up and running in no time. I can run 4 cameras recording 24/7 on an i5 machine at 20% cpu. I was using an Amcrest NVR before this, and while there are some advantages to having a machine like that just running all the time with no maintenance to do, it is very difficult to actually find things on those NVRs, and a pain to export anything. Blue Iris lets you quickly scrub through your clips to see what was going on. Add to that the ability to gain fine control of every conceivable aspect of the camera system, and it’s a no-brainer to get this. Thanks for the discount ipcamtalk!

I have now 4 licences for personal (Family) sites and 6 sites for work. Even with the expense of a PC, there is nothing that compares to it’s functionality and ease of use. On the sites I have installed for work it has replaced hardware DVR/NVR’s that the staff found difficult to use and difficult to extract video for police and usually resulted in useless video. Since using BlueIris they have been able to export video easily and accurately and the Police have been impressed. Currently have about 90 cameras between all the sites. Mix of HikVision, Dahua, and other cameras. I now only buy cameras that will work with BlueIris. In recent months the spate of updates have sometimes caused problems, but they have been dealt with nicely and a system in place now to allow you to choose what version to update too.
I’m here now writing this as I am buying another licence for a new install.
Thanks Ken. Good Work.

I upgraded from version 3. I used the free trial to make sure it was worth the upgrade and it sure was. The old version was using up to 100% of my CPU on my main computer (a 4 core i7) I bought an energy efficient 2 core i7 mini computer and version 5 only uses 35% of its CPU.
The newer UI on the webcast is also nice. I use it on 2 computers and still use the jpegpull on another.
Well worth the full price, but even better with the ipcamtalk discount.

It was easy to install and very intuitive to operate. It is way beyond any software from Amcrest or Dahua for ease of use and productivity. The navigation within video clips is fast and accurate making it easy and efficient to review.

I was not expecting to have to pay extra for the IOS app for my mobile device, so I have no idea yet how good it is.

Hi,
I have been trying to setup my Hikvision video intercoms for couple of days and I’m now getting somewhat frustrated with iVMS4200 v3.2 which still seems to have bugs. I wasn’t able to setup motion triggering with recording of videos and still pictures. I tested BI 5 for 30min and was able to setup these features very easily. I will get a Hikvision IP cam later so I’m pretty sure it will be easy to add. BI is really great software. THANKS A LOT!

I have an NVR with 4 cameras and it has worked well for a few years, I have always wanted to get BI up and running but my hardware was not willing, I recently scored a AU$90 Dell i3 and thought it ‘might’ let me run BI, so I installed the demo and WHOOAA I am running at around 14% when using the admin interface , so I rushed back in and got me a copy from ipcamtalk and so far the new version 5 seems to be the ticket.
Like many others, I fell into this arena with plenty of tech knowledge, but little nouse about cameras, the NVR just works, but BI lets me play….. and the more I play the more I am learning, the more I am reading and the more I am testing.
Many other have commented about how complex BI appears on first contact, but when you start to ‘USE’ it, you realise it is that complexity that makes it the product you needed in the first place.

Using BI v5 for 5 cameras of mixed types – Univision, Reolink, and Boa – with a mix of resolutions (4MP, 5MP) and differing levels of PTZ capability. All cameras are ONVIF compliant. Everything just ‘worked’ and has no problems with detecting hardware. Although all cameras have in-camera motion detection, I prefer the BI software based motion detection/ It seems top have less false positives. Happy with it so far. Cameras are recording between 15 and 25Hz. CPU usage is only about 15% on an older i7-3770. The web interface is nice and allows me to use the machine running BI without a monitor for most tasks.

Great software! Highly configurable and in my (albeit short) experience, very reliable. Can be a bit of a CPU hog. Using H.264 exclusively and Intel processors with Quick Sync technology helps a lot. Be sure to follow the guides here on ipcamtalk. Direct-to-disc recording and no overlays will minimize processor usage. UI3 web interface is quite good and easy to use on a mobile device. Blue Iris motion sensing is easy to use and more accurate than my camera’s built-in alerts. It’s worked with every camera I’ve tried, including those with microphones. For my small handful of cameras at home, Blue Iris beat all the competitors in both value and performance. Finally, there is a huge amount of information available online about configuring Blue Iris, and the built-in help is excellent to boot.
