Home Security Camera Software, Blue Iris. Step-by-Step setup guide to help you deter intruders and protect your home.

CCTV is fairly common, with many homes having Ring Doorbells or similar. Most of these depend on 3rd party companies, access to the cloud and trusting these companies with your data and potentially personal footage.

Blue Iris is a locally hosted solution whereby you take full control of what to record, where, when and for how long.
