I am evaluating Blue Iris as an inexpensive and powerful neighborhood security system.
I'm loving the interface and the technical features, but that is not how one should evaluate a platform like this.
You have to look at how easy it is to export video into a rational, easy-to-use "kit" that can be handed to the authorities, and can be used easily.
One such product that does this EXCELLENTLY is Milestone Xprotect.
It allows you to click on the cameras you want to include, set the timeline for the export, and then it asks where you want to place the report and video.
It exports a player that requires NO installation, all the video, and it shows it in the player with an easy-to-use scrubbing tool to move through the exported investigation effortlessly.
The video exported is in a format that is universal and of "evidential quality" using full-HD MKV files
I cannot find anything even REMOTELY like this in Blue Iris.
It's like pulling teeth to get this platform to do this.
It is the single most important job any video surveillance platform has, with everything else secondary.
Am I missing something regarding a client that I can download?
What method do people use to export incidents from multiple cameras and sync them all into a synchronized export?
All I'm finding on Reddit and other places is that people have been asking for a client and trying to find a good way to export video from multiple cameras in an easy-to-use way.
