Using Raspberry Pi B+ / Raspbian to view Blue Iris UI3!

Anyone have a quick way to make chromium restart when the pi reboots? For instance when you have a power surge etc??

You can do this on a Fire tv stick and use the UI3 [BlueIris] android app.
The fire sticks will go on sale for $29 every other month.

How much CPU and GPU does a remote viewing gadget require, and how do the RPi 3B, 3B+, and various Firesticks stack up against those requirements?

Is the Android app less resource-intensive than a browser-based solution since it doesn't have to implement a full browser? Or is all the horsepower required for the decoding and rendering anyway?

I have a 3B+ at my parents' house doing other duties, and they want me to set up a security camera system with ~6-10 cameras, depending on how ambitious we get.
 
Not sure about the Pi but I've run UI3 fine on some crappy old tablets with not much as far as processor/memory so can't take much.
 
UI3 on a pi 3 or 4 should be fine if you limit the streaming resolution to 1080p or 720p. If I was going to run such a thing, I would probably increase the bit rate of whichever streaming profile I settled on (and not use a "VBR" profile unless it was on wifi), so the quality would be as high as possible for the pi hardware.

A Fire TV stick probably will have more advanced video decoding hardware and be capable of 1080p or higher. Just my assumption. I don't use Fire TV sticks.

In theory the official Android app could be more efficient than UI3, so if that suits your needs then by all means give it a try.

My Livingroom BlueIris display is a 24" HP Z24i monitor I had laying around, wall-mounted on a low profile wall mount, with a 2nd Gen Fire TV stick plugged in via an HDMI-DVI adapter (since the monitor doesn't have HDMI inputs). I run UI3 in the Silk browser. I am extremely pleased with the result.
