Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

Why might Blue Iris Android alerts be missed at night?

Blue Iris alert notifications may not get through Android Do Not Disturb settings, even when everything appears set up correctly.

Does Blue Iris still support self-signed certificates for Stunnel HTTPS?

A recent Blue Iris update killed self-signed certificates, so the old Stunnel method for securing Blue Iris with HTTPS no longer works.

What caused the Blue Iris licensing problems during the server outage?

The licensing problems were not caused by the server or database going down; they occurred when it came back up with an older restore point than desired.

What camera scenarios are discussed when choosing cameras for Blue Iris?

Community discussion includes suggestions for camera models suited to low-light, garage, streetlight, and 4K coverage.
