Blue Iris

Blue Iris is a mobile client for viewing cameras and recordings from an existing Blue Iris 6 system.

Our take

Consider it if you already run the Windows server and want access to compatible camera controls from iOS.

Alerts, playback and eligible pan or tilt controls extend an existing installation without configuring each camera separately.

Keep in mind: It requires Blue Iris 6 running on a Windows PC or VM. Access away from home requires compatible authorized setup.

What you can do

  • View live cameras and saved recordings
  • Receive alerts and use supported camera controls
  • Manage access to more than one installation

Good for

  • People who administer a Blue Iris 6 camera system

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone seeking a standalone camera recorder without the Windows software

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.6.
  • It requires Blue Iris 6 running on a Windows PC or VM. Access away from home requires compatible authorized setup.

Privacy & permissions

Camera audio, video and location triggers can contain sensitive information. Limit remote access and download destinations to authorized people.
