Blue Iris

Сервером Blue Iris для компьютера пользуюсь уже лет 10. Сейчас функционал на высшем уровне, можно подключать любые камеры, смотреть в любом браузере на компьютере. Данное приложение-клиент тоже супер, очень удобное. В связке с сервером система получается гораздо удобней, чем решение от Hikvision. У меня с Blue Iris работают несколько камер в загородном доме и в квартирах, сервер берет потоки с камер удаленно через интернет. Приложение работает только в связке с сервером! Спасибо автору.

This app needs to work over cellular. When I am Not home I want to be able to use the app and see the clips.

Works great — but I think it’s time for a UI over haul, this same design has been used for years now with no improvements or simplicity. A new UI would be refreshing.

Bought the app on a whim and was able to get it working on the first try. I was pleasantly surprised by the functionality and glad I could access all my cameras including PTZ and two-way audio. If you’re on the fence, I would recommend taking the plunge. The $13.99 price tag is worth it in my opinion.

This update breaks the live Camera tab in the app (on iphone SE at least, maybe other devices). The ‘new’ PTZ hide feature puts a wide bar right over top of the controls making it impossible to use them anymore. There also seems to be little point to this feature as, at least on the several devices I use the app on (some landscape permanently mounted), that touching the bar doesn’t create any more screen space to make the image any bigger, it just visually removes the controls, and other devices the bar/ feature doesn’t even appear. Which also reminds me that, after a really long time since last round of updates, another thing previously broken still has yet to be fixed, that is when the app starts (on iPad landscape), the last live image view no longer opens full screen automatically, you have to go and manually do that now each time the app starts or restarts. And also, if the app has a problem communicating, and the live view returns, it returns with a bar overlapping the bottom of the live full screen that requires the app to be shut down and restarted to regain a normal full screen landscape camera view without that bar obstructing the image. These last two things broken during previous updates make using an iPad permanently mounted in landscape as a constant full screen live camera view, almost useless now ( where it worked wonderfully before) as it frequently requires attention to manually put it back to a normal full screen view. It seems it is often two steps forward and three steps backwards with this app; new features are nice, but breaking basic and essential features is not a suitable trade off, esp when they never get fixed, or only partly fixed months later. Blue Iris has an amazing design as a system as a whole, far better than any other, but the constant software problems, mostly related to existing things being constantly broken during very frequent updates (last ‘stable’ version caused more problems than any other update, making cameras suddenly frequently go offline), makes the system rather unreliable on and off, and has failed me multiple times when it was truly needed. And recently, I now get spammed every single day on my phone about updating the main software to a version that I’ve already told the software I do not want, and I can’t turn off alerts else I will also loose the cones that really matter.

New version is crashing, won’t open. And, like many other reviewers I agree about the UI / theme being really bad.

If you have a blue iris server this app is a gem. Work flawlessly. The only thing not going for it is the design, let’s say it could improve a lot. Great work!

Blueiris is a great software with many updates and improvements as you go along. I love the software. For the APP however it has been having crashes when accessing clips, there is no way for me to go watch my clips without it crashing and closing, on both iPad 5 and iPhoneXR, it was working super well until they upgraded something and it is now nothing more than a realtime viewer, I cannot see clips. It sucks that i cannot go back to a previous version.

I bought this app to work with the previous version of BI. Now the app has been “upgraded” and no longer works. I didn’t want this upgrade, it was forced on me. Now my security setup is broken! Thanks for nothing!

The baby blue theme just isn't cutting it. It's hard to take this app seriously now.
