What kinds of remote-access/monitoring software are you guys using with this? Is it compatible with Blue Iris?

I use Blue Iris with this camera. Works fine. Best camera of the several brands I have tried.

I use it with Blue Iris and it works great. Camera has some great features and I'll be buying more at some point.

I use Blue Iris (BI) and it works perfectly. I didn't try the Hikvision software, but I doubt it has the features of BI. I have a Synology NAS and tried their Surveillance Station - it's not even close to BI and it cost $50/camera.The only downside with BI, is that the software runs the motion detection, which puts load on the computer you're running it from. I have a 18 month old i7 computer, and it takes about 10% of the CPU power per camera. I have two Hikvision 2032s connected and the CPU's running at around 20%.

Sighthound Video (formerly Vitamin D). Very pleased with it. I tested Blue Iris and several others, but found Sighthound to be the most useful -- notably what i considered to be the best workflow and the best at configuring and detecting useful alerts (not too many, not too few). Runs flawlessly with a half dozen high def cameras (consumes about 10%-20% of an i7). I recommend giving it a try (there is a free trial version).

Primarily I am using Blue Iris App on iPhone for the remote access. Works very well

Yes it does work with Blue Iris, however on my system it slows Blue Iris to a crawl and makes it nearly unusable. I think the 720P is whats killing it. I have 6 other 480P cameras attached and havent had the time to troubleshoot the problem. I use the included iVMS 4500 software on my iPhone and on my computer.

V4 should be good for the next 3 or so years if the developer keeps his current pace..Regardless, upgrades are offered at a discount..usually 30 dollars...that is nothing for this type of vms software.Check out ipcamtalk.com, there is a blue iris user forum there.

Blue Iris is a great software that will make just about any camera work great. I use to look for camera that has great options on them for motion detection, recording and different types of alerting. Now I just look at the type of lens and the PTZ function and let Blue Iris handle the rest.

I don't use it alone.I have a program called Blue Iris which this camera among others are connected to.I can access to Blue Iris program and look at individual cameras and control them through this program. It has to be a computer that the camera is connected to.Then you can access that program from the web and I have an app for blue Iris that I can control, listed to the cameras that have audio etc, from my smart phone or tablet - android both. but it also works on Iphone

YES! Exactly what I do. I also connect to a system running Blue Iris so I can view all through the BI interface OR just http to each individual camera

I have tried to pair this glass break detector (as well as non-Iris motion detectors) with Iris and was not successful. I'm not aware of a solution, but am interested in a glass break detector for Iris as well.

Yes, the motion detection (setup thru blue iris) works very well with this camera.

No, not as of 7/6/15 running with Hub Firmware version 4.06r05 (1.29).I have two of these and while they will pair with Iris in the devices menu, they show up as "Unknown Device". They will not show up in the security widget or function as contact sensors.I have requested support for these be added to Iris several times on the official Iris Q&A; boards, but they have done nothing.

I have not tried it as yet, but from my personal experience with IP camera support available on Synology. I am sure it will work.

I have "Blue Iris" (purchased directly from Foscam, by the way). It works fine with this model of camera, though of course you're subject to the basic limitations of Blue Iris (which is not really set up for 2-way audio, etc).

I never got it to respond to any camera. I use Blue Iris and have 3 different brands of cameras on it. You can eval that software for 30days.

Foscam has a few on the appstore. I personally use BlueIris3. It is a fantastic program. You have to purchase the software and also the app, but it is well worth it. There are a lot of customization options with the program and app. Very satisfied with BlueIris3 and their technical support. You don't have to be a computer programmer to figure it out.

No out o the box but you can buy the software for the cameras that allows you doing it, I think is called blue iris and you can keep full control of up to 32 cameras. Out of the box you can see the cameras on real time, up to 9 cameras at the same time, being connected to the same network or remotely.

Yes, it is Blue Iris compatible, but we've never tested it with Blue Iris with audio installed. We know that it works with iSpy software, so I don't see any reason why Blue Iris wouldn't pick up the audio channel.

Yes - I have the camera working with blue iris software using these protocols.

I don't use the built-in options of the camera for that purpose.I have the Blue Iris software running which handles the alerting for my cameras. That actually works really good and fast.
