Blue Iris Overview

The Blue Iris project documents the design, deployment, and optimization of a real-world Blue Iris 6 surveillance system.

Focus Areas​

This project covers:

  • practical camera deployment
  • Blue Iris configuration
  • AI-assisted object detection
  • storage planning
  • alerting and notifications
  • performance tuning
  • maintenance workflows

Core System Areas​

The Blue Iris knowledge base is organized around these major categories:

  • system reference
  • architecture
  • hardware and server configuration
  • network and camera IP planning
  • camera setup
  • global settings
  • storage and recording
  • motion and AI detection
  • alerts and notifications
  • maintenance and backup

Goal​

The goal is to produce a reliable engineering reference for building and maintaining a Blue Iris system using clear structure, repeatable settings, and field-tested procedures.
