This app is a CLIENT for the Blue Iris Windows PC software. In order to make use of this app, you must have Blue Iris version 5 installed and running on a Windows PC or VM. Instructions for connecting this app to the PC software are found in the Remote Access chapter of its Help file.

This app provides a single point of contact to your home camera network. There is no need to insecurely open individual cameras to the Internet. This app connects using a secure and session-based protocol--no passwords are transmitted in plain text.

Alerts stören Polizei

Die Alarmanlage wurde für einige 1000 Euro angeschafft, unter Anderem 20 Apps BlueIris und das Serverprogramm BlueIris. Wenn Einbrecher auf dem Hof sind, werden versehentlich jede Sekunde z. B. 10 Pushup-Alerts eingeblendet, sodass unsere Mitarbeiter nicht in der Lage sind, die Gesichter der Einbrecher zu erkennen. Wenn wir zur Dachdeckerei gefahren sind, sind die Diebe längst weg. Der Programmierer riet uns, die Apps BlueIris zu beenden. Sehr witzig! Das ist nicht hilfreich bei der Erkennung der Gesichter und bei der Strafverfolgung. Ich habe dem Programmierer geraten, Banner als Alerts zu programmieren. Tut er nicht. Ohne Einbrecher laufen die Apps rund und sehr gut. . Auf einem iPod 6 mit 8 GB geht die App nicht. Nach Einblenden von CANCEL stürzt die App ab. . . .

Functionality great, user interface needs tiny bit work

This is a great iOS client for Blue Iris camera viewing and recording software for Windows. Great because it works without glitches to view live and recorded video. However, the user interface, aesthetically is from the 90s. Needs work, but not from the software developer, but a real UI designer. The price could be raised if that was done. My 2 cents. Apple Watch app would also pay for that.

Terrible program

The support is non-existent. The software doesnt support the cameras they list and they simply ignore all emails. Choose another product.

Sophisticated

The app works as advertised. I have no issues to report. Although it is intuitive and easy to use its very sophisticated with excellent features. A very cool and useful feature is that you can select specific push notification sounds for alerts in the Blue Iris server and they will port to this app-- I have four cameras that I have assigned a different sound for each when an alert occurs; this sound is then pushed to my phone via this app making it quick and easy for me to distinguish which camera is producing the alert. Pretty cool. Also, there is about only a 5 second delay from when an alert actually occurs and when the push notification reaches my phone. I could go on about how well the app performs. Im happy. Its worth the 10 bucks.

Awesome mobile control

Update: 6/10/2016 Love this app. I have 2 Blue Iris Systems and this app makes it easy to arm/disarm my systems, see alerts and look at current live view. Highly recommend it. I have had Blue Iris running at home for a couple months and recently got the iOS app. I am totally satisfied with both. I am able to easily monitor and control my system away from the house thru the app. The app is far better way to see your cams while on the go than via the browser interface. The browser interface is ok for desktop remote viewing, but the iOS app makes it much easier. I highly recommend getting this addon. It was well worth the price, which isnt bad considering it integrates so easily to access my system.

Fantastic overall

Great fit and works well on my media server. I have 4 cameras currently, and slowly adding more. Worth the money for sure. Im not stuck with a nvr with specific cameras.

Amazing Support!

Those reviews stating that support emails are being ignored must be using the wrong email link. My emails requesting support or advice or with suggestions for enhancements are responded to within hours at most and in some cases within minutes. Ken literally goes "above and beyond the call of duty" in this age of complacency and entitlement.
