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. Because our software is changing rapidly we provide free updates between major release cycles.
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 buttons are large and the interface is easy to navigate. Our developers speak English (as their first language) so you won’t ever be trying to decode Chinese-English.

- New! PCIe designThe Bluecherry BC-H16480A is true hardware compression card supported by our Video4Linux(2) driver. Recently tests with this driver has shown siginificant CPU / memory saving over standard software compression cards. This card has several features not commonly found on traditional Linux supported H.264 encoders, including:
- Each port has a MJPEG and H.264 encoder, each can be opened separately.
- Each device shows up as a Video4Linux(2) device and you have access to each encoder using standard Video4Linux APIs.
- Each port is loaded up as an ALSA sound device, allowing for encoding G.723 audio from each audio input.
Our driver is available in the latest kernel releases, in the ‘staging’ directory.
Note: The device has the following features, which are currently not supported in the driver:
- Hardware (on-card) motion detection.
- Hardware motion detection is currently only supported in our software.
- Composite video out.
