@LittleScoobyMaster I am still using XProtect, and the client performance leaks have been addressed at some point by updates. I don't know which version fixed it, just that today it runs for weaks at a time without issues. The move to Ring was nixed for several reasons. One was that I didn't...

I do want to be clear about something, in case I wasn't. XProtect is not even close to BI when it comes to features. It's not as user friendly as BI either. For most people, I would still strongly recommend BI. I just updated this because when I search for "Blue Iris vs. XProtect" this was my...

I do realize both of those things. I don't like to run old software. There are security reasons etc to keep your software, especially those that run accessible services, updated, but that's not it. It's more like ocd. I just hate to know that I'm behind on updates, and major versions bother me...

I just want to update this after a recent "attempt-2" at using XProtect in 2022. I didn't want to pay to upgrade BI, and I only have 6 cameras, so XProtect is free. I honestly don't remember well enough to say how much the experience has really changed. A lot of the difference may be that I was...

I take it back. This is nice. I didn't like the PTZ area in the left bar personally, because I don't use PTZ, so that was bothering me "wasting" screen realestate. I also didn't like that I couldn't disable some of the controls, the way I did in UI2, to prevent the wife from messing with...

Very nice. I'm glad to see it's heading toward replacing the current official UI. Blue Iris is amazing on the back end. Super stable, feature rich, compatibility with "everything," and constantly updated. I wouldn't take anything away from the developer, but the UI is a little off-putting. I...

I did not know that. You're right though. Thank you. I would have renewed support.

The search feature looks better in their marketing videos than in practice. I honestly missed the Blue Iris interface. At this point, I sound like I'm trying to sell Blue Iris. I'm honestly not. I looked at XProtect because I'm about to have to renew my Blue Iris license. I wish it was better...

On the 4th point, they have They seem to have improved on your 4th point. I was able to select the drivers to "try" when I did a manual device add. However, it still refused to use ONVIF for one of my 5 (same model) cameras. Selecting ONVIF as the only driver to try resulted in failure to add...

Just another thank you if you're reading these.

I recently decided to give the free version of XProtect a shot. It's free for up to 8 cameras, and I made the common false assumption that, being a commercial package, it would be "better." I installed it once and let it find all of my cameras automatically. It's a home system, so they are all...

I've got my system up and running with 5 cameras. (3x:IPC-HDW4431C-A-V2 and 2x:IPC-HFW4431R-Z) Using Blue Iris 4 for VMS. Everything is pretty good so far, but I'm still tweaking and tuning. Mainly trying to get motion detection where I want it. I've disable all but night-vision triggering...

Thanks. I guess an RMA is in order.

First thanks for all the information that you guys have accumulated here. It's been a great resource while planning my system. I accidentally ordered a CVI camera. I had good coverage over most of the property with 5 cameras and I wanted a cheap one to cover one small gap, so I found this...
