Hello everyone, I am planning to use blue iris as my vms as I have read good feedback about it, just one quick question as I am new to NVR's, if I buy the pro version of blue iris, do I have to buy again a separate license of each camera?
Because the description says support up to 64 ipcams, and I don't want to be surprise about licensing each camera like the other vms that I am supposed to buy but I have to hold bcoz there's the base license and license for each camera, whew! it's way to expensive! and I have to setup 32 ip cams!

I just need clarification please? thank you in advance.

You only need to buy the one license, and it lets you use the number of cameras specified. It is either 1 or 64 depending on which you choose. I'm not sure why they bother selling a 1-camera license.

In reality almost nobody gets anywhere near 64 cameras before they run out of need or run out of CPU time to process the video.
