Commercial grade
features at a fraction of the cost

Bluecherry’s Linux based software provides the commercial
grade features you would typically find in Windows based solutions but at a
fraction of the cost.  We support up to
16 video and audio inputs and have support for video output.  We have support for motion-tracking Pan / Tilt / Zoom along with (object) theft detection.



Advanced authentication

Have multiple employees at your business? Only trust a few? It happens and that’s why we have support for
per user authentication. Only allow
certain users to access certain areas of the software. Hide a camera, restrict their hourly access
or prevent them from logging in from home.

Remote access

Want to watch your business while on the road? No problem!
With an iPhone or Android device you can connect with a web browser and view live video. We also have a free
Windows remote client that you can connect multiple DVR installations
together.

Updates

Updates are easily downloaded from our Ubuntu repository. You will not be forced to completely format
and reinstall when updates are released.

Ease of use

No matter if you are installing this for a client or at home we’ve made the installation process simple (seven steps). The interface is easy to use (See our screen cast here). Buttons are large and the interface is easy to navigate. Our
developers speak English so you won’t ever be trying to decode Chinese-English.

Help us help you

We are improving our software on a daily basis. We want input from our customers on how they would like to see the software changed or new features added. We encourage our customers to post feature requests so we can easily track them.

Requirements

An NVIDIA card is required for using the server software. A complete list of supported NVIDIA cards is here

Updates

Because our software is changing rapidly we provide free updates between major release cycles. Our next major release cycle is scheduled for August 15th, 2010. If you purchase this card 90 days prior to the release of version 2 you will qualify for a free upgrade.
