Previously, getting reliable human/vehicle detection meant running a separate Docker container (DeepStack or CodeProject.AI) and praying the integration held.

Native HTTPS and new authentication methods (Digest) have been added to the built-in web server for more secure remote viewing. blueiris v6

The software supports a vast array of camera brands and models. It can simultaneously record up to 64 cameras (in the full license version), mixing different resolutions, frame rates, and camera types (IP, USB, and analog via capture cards) into a single unified interface.

Users can define specific "zones" within the camera frame to monitor, ignoring high-traffic areas like sidewalks while focusing on entry points. Users can define specific "zones" within the camera

is the upgrade the community has been waiting for. It respects the power user's need for granular control while offering the mainstream user a setup wizard that actually works. The introduction of native AI, modern security (MFA/HTTPS), and massive CPU efficiency via substreams makes it the best VMS available for Windows, bar none.

Because v6 uses substreams so effectively, the requirements are actually lower than you might think for basic setups, but higher for AI-heavy tasks.

Blue Iris v6 is a Windows-based, local-first video surveillance and NVR (network video recorder) application for managing IP and USB cameras. It’s designed for home and small-business security setups and focuses on robust motion detection, recording flexibility, and extensive third-party integrations.
