Switched from Unifi Video due to it being unsupported, buggy, and the viewer only working in Chrome. Bluecherry is much better, ram usage is much lower now, CPU usage went way down and the motion detection using default settings just works. Support has also been excellent!

My use case is very simple, my home and a bunch of salvaged, heterogeneous cameras.
I don’t have a dedicated server, so I run it at a virtual ubuntu under my TrueNAS server.
I tried it all, from zoneminder to some AI based candidates, but no one gave me the simplicity and reliability of bluecherry dvr. It just runs and runs. Very light on resources server-side which is a must for me.
Highly recommend.
