About Blue Iris

This app is a CLIENT for the Blue Iris Windows PC software. In order to make use of this app, you must have Blue Iris version 5.x installed and running on a Windows PC. Instructions for connecting this app to the PC software are found in the Networking topic of its Help file. This app provides a single point of contact to your home camera network. There is no need to insecurely open individual cameras to the Internet. This app connects using a secure and session-based protocol--no passwords are transmitted in plain text. Key features include: - Manage multiple Blue Iris installations - Control the traffic signal icon, schedule and profile selection - Receive Android push alerts when a Blue Iris camera is triggered or there is a critical status message - Fast H.264 streaming - Control PTZ, IR and more for any camera that’s also controllable at the Blue Iris PC - Listen to and talk to any camera that’s also supported at the Blue Iris PC - Navigate cameras by tapping and swiping - Review recordings as stored on the Blue Iris PC, up to 64x speed - Selectively delete recordings from the Blue Iris PC - Remote control DIO output signals on compatible devices

What Blue Iris Is Used For

Blue Iris appears to be a companion app for the Blue Iris Windows PC security camera software, rather than a standalone camera system. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used to connect a phone to one or more Blue Iris installations at home or elsewhere, making it easier to monitor cameras and manage alerts from Android. Because it requires Blue Iris 5.x running on a Windows PC, the app seems intended for users who already have a Blue Iris setup and want remote access on a mobile device.

Common uses may include checking live camera streams, switching between cameras with taps or swipes, and receiving push alerts when a camera is triggered or when the system reports an important status message. The listed permissions also fit this kind of remote monitoring app: network access is needed for connecting to the PC system, while camera, microphone, location, Bluetooth, and storage permissions may support device-specific features such as talk/listen functions, connection setup, and local media handling.

It also appears to support more advanced camera management from the phone, such as PTZ control, IR control, schedule and profile selection, reviewing recordings stored on the PC, and deleting selected recordings. The app may be useful for people who want a mobile control panel for a home or small-business camera network without exposing individual cameras directly to the internet.

Common uses

  • View and switch between cameras connected to a Blue Iris PC
  • Receive push alerts for motion or critical status events
  • Control compatible camera functions such as PTZ and IR
  • Review recordings saved on the Windows PC from your phone
  • Talk to or listen through supported camera setups
  • Manage schedules, profiles, and traffic signal status
  • Control supported DIO output signals remotely
