Milestone Arcus on ReadyNAS vs. Blue Iris on PC?
I own a ReadyNAS 628X. I was hoping to start a discussion about the pros and cons of two different solutions to video surveillance monitoring. I have no actual experience using either of these two ...
I had to pay a less than full price fee to upgrade from Blue Iris 3.x to 4.x, but have never paid another dime for upgrades or support. I've never even considered changing to something that runs on one of my NASes, especially at those prices. I do have BI set up to use one to offload older captures. BI and my 6 cameras (2 outdoor at the doors and 4 inside) gave me the evidence I needed to send a thief to prison for 39 months. Once his lawyer saw the video, he plead no contest.
One additional con of Milestone Arcus is that Netgear unfortunately will sometimes drop their added services. ReadyNAS Surveillance was one example. So there is some risk that Milestone Arcus won't have staying power.
