Blue Iris
Video security software runs on your Windows PC with built-in AI, motion-triggered recording, and browser or mobile access to live and recorded footage.
Blue Iris is paid video security software for people managing cameras at home or across business premises. It runs on a Windows PC and includes built-in AI services, so AI processing doesn't require a separate external server. It combines camera recording with remote viewing and controls.
It supports network IP cameras, USB webcams and analog capture cards, as well as Windows desktop capture. Recording can run continuously, follow a schedule, or start when the software detects motion or sound. You can include audio, add timestamps or logos, and save snapshots or video in formats such as JPEG, MP4 and AVI. Scheduled arming lets recording and alerts follow the hours you need coverage.
The built-in web interface, UI3, gives desktop and mobile browsers access to live feeds, recorded clips and alerts, with user permissions controlling what each person can view. Mobile access also supports multiple installations, camera pan and tilt controls, infrared controls, and listening or talking through cameras. Alert actions can send email, place voice calls or run an external script.
AI services run within the software, while CodeProject AI and Blue Onyx are supported external AI server integrations. Blue Iris supports H.265 and GPU integration, with an optional NVIDIA graphics card among its recommended hardware. The stated minimum is a newer Intel processor, at least 8 GB of RAM and 64-bit Windows 10 or an equivalent server OS.
