    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    I actually shared some of my considerations above. I am well aware of the "linux vs windows" flame wars, and frankly I really don't give a damn. I just want the best tool to help me solve a problem under my personal circumstances. I was trying to avoid it by just saying "Trust me, it need to be...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Actually The most interesting feature BI has as far as I see is that it supports more than 1 vendor cameras without losing camera functionality (I believe I wrote that already before in this thread). I think most of the feature it has are of no use to me, but who knows? Maybe I'll find out I'm...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Oh and by the way, I asked for a BI equivalent, because, I haven't heard of BI until I saw this forum. Never knew there was a SW NVR solution, so all I knew that exists is BI, and everyone here seems happy about it, so here I asked about something similar. Sorry if my inexperience offends you.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Already got a digital watchdog referral, and I am checking it out, but I don't think it's the right thing for me. Seems a bit over the top. I have paid for many windows licenses, and it's really not an issue. Cost is a consideration, yes, but as an overall solution seeming that I'm considering a...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Yeah I visited the link. It's an interesting solution, but I have no use for it as I mostly run windows machines, apart from special circumstances. I love keeping stuff simple, but the idea of limiting myself to specific vendor cameras or restricting some features is a bit annoyingly limiting. I...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Sure. My goal in life is to go to forums and lie to cover for my secrets you got me :lmao: I think in this case it's clear someone is snobby in favor of windows and is projecting it on to others.

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Thanks for the option, I didn't know about it. Unlike what others may think, I'm not a Linux die hard user, but rather a mostly windows user. My specific circumstances don't allow me to use a windows machine, and those same circumstances will not allow a virtualization, and even if it would, I...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Hey, I'm all for fruitful discussion, personal attacks (and of someone you don't even know and understand, but assume to automatically do) are non productive and don't lead to any meaningful helpful discussion and community. Thank you for your valuable input so far, I'll take your messages into...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Hey, please no profanities if you don't mind. Don't like being called a snob. There are actually (like I said) great many reasons why I don't want a windows machine, and I don't want this thread to deteriorate to a "linux vs windows" flame fight, so I don't want to open this to discussion, but...

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Virtualization is not a solution I'm looking for. I'm looking for a native Linux solution, but I understand there is none that comes close. That's too bad :( Thanks for letting me know

    Is there a Blue Iris equivalent for Linux?

    Hi all, Couldn't find any information on the forum on this matter so far, apologies if I missed it. So far I was very impressed with BI and its flexibility, however, my setup (for great many reasons I won't go into detail right now) is going to be Linux based, so BI is out of the question. Are...

    @SouthernYankee Thanks for that. Already seen your message and while I can't say I followed *all* guidelines (there's a lot to read dang it), I already learned a lot from it

    Hi all, I've been lurking anonymously for awhile, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm new to the ip camera security world, and am looking to design my security setup for my place. This forum has helped me a lot. I've already started boring through the cliff notes, lots of information there...
