IP Cam recording software

[martynbez]

First of not sure if the right place.

Looking for some software to record upto 3 IP Cam's?

Something windows based to record to hard drive. Had a google for it but looking for some "really world" feedback lol

I can recommend Blue Iris from experience. Excellent software, (Intel) hardware acceleration, nice layout and regular updates.

Milestone is good

Another vote for Blue Iris. Used it on a couple of installs now and it just works, and has a handy mobile app.

BlueIris over here but am considering giving Shinobi https://shinobi.video/ a try, mainly as I'm trying to remove Windows from my VM estate.

Been using GeniusVision Community for a couple of years for 2 cams found it works well. Although it seems you have to pay $5 a month for up to 4 cams if you want more than 2 now. Although i think if you download one of the older versions you don't have that limit.

I have been using Blue Iris for about 18 months with 5 cameras and can recommend it.

I use motion detection to record clips to disk as well as the iOS app for remote viewing and get email alerts when a camera is triggered. I don’t do continuous recording.

The only problem I have had is with spiders triggering one of the cameras but that isn’t the fault of Blue Iris.

Make sure the machine you intend to run it on has a sufficiently powerful CPU and adequate RAM.

Take a look at https://ipcamtalk.com/ for discussions on Blue Iris and hardware configuration.
