"Blueiris is a great camera DVR program and then some."

5/5

What do you like best about Blue Iris?

Simple to setup and use on multiple cameras. The system doubles as a security system by sending images right to my phone when "alarms" are triggered. I set the time of day to alarm, and can choose from sound, motion, and many other alarm triggers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blue Iris?

I wish it was cloud based. It needs to be run on a physical machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blue Iris:

Confirm what you need from a DVR solution, then compare platforms. Make sure whatever software you are considering that it is compatible with your hardware and operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blue Iris solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to setup cameras at different job sites to monitor progress and act as a security guard. I also use it as a baby monitor at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blue Iris?

There are so many options it can be very confusing to use if you don't know what you are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
