Hello,
I am setting up a home system with a prospective maximum of eight cameras. I decided to go with a computer instead of an NVR based system to keep my software options open.
My plan is to evaluate use of blue iris and ZoneMinder for starters - running blue iris in a Win7 VM on an ubuntu/mint v20 host.
My plans include running the entire system on a segregated network segment with no internet access.
Thus my first question would be:
Does blue iris actually REQUIRE internet access on anything less than a yearly basis? I would not be needing support or update access.
I would expect that the basic license does not "time out" or need some kind of renewal?
I would plan to buy the software license and only need to run a single instance for only eight cameras.
I already have most built except for buying blue iris and mounting the three cameras I have now.
