Could you point me in the right direction a search came up with a bunch, but nothing I could find that was specifically what the benefits are.

Thank you. I was searching in the blue iris forum only. Most were just saying get blue iris because it’s better. Nothing specific as to why.

thanks for the lead on this! I didnt know about these video turorials. One of my few grips about BI is the lack of documentation. This helps a ton!

There is a ton of documentation for blue Iris, it's called The help file. It's very detailed. For blue Iris 5 it is even more detail and available in PDF.
