I played a bit with Blue Iris, but eventually settled on https://www.milestonesys.com/solutions/platform/video-management-software/xprotect-essential/ for my small implementation. Only have five cameras, and doing either RTSP or ONVIF to get the stream.

    I have 5 Amcrest/Foscam wifi 1080 cameras. I purchased a dirt
    cheap Wansview off Amazon to keep an eye on my utility room. I
    only got it because it was dirt cheap and you can stream it
    locally without all the cloud BS.

        It's been great. Push notifications. Nice geofencing
        capabilities for when you're home. The UI3 web interface is
        really slick as well. I run 6 Amcrest WiFi cameras at 1080
        on 30 fps. Windows 10 machine with basic specs...runs around
        20% CPU with hardware acceleration on. SSD makes retrieving
        clips and archives very snappy.

        I think you can download a 30 day trial.

            I'm not against blue Iris, it's just been probably 10
            years since I last used it.  Back then you had to have a
            plugin for IE to do live view.  I'm guessing that's
            changed now to HTML5?  How is the live viewing.  Is it
            the 'jerky' live view, or smooth live view?

            BI is certainly superior in terms of software, but NVR
            is simpler and cheaper to maintain then a full blown pc.

                                I haven't put any new cameras in
                                for a couple years.  Last one's I
                                did
                                were Unifi Protect.  And although
                                it is still running, the software
                                seems to be just as buggy as it
                                was all those years ago, and for the
                                features, the cameras are pretty
                                expensive. Are there any other low
                                cost turnkey camera solutions out
                                there?  I could do like a Zoneminder
                                or BlueIris, but I'm lazy in my
                                old age and was looking for
                                something
                                more plug and play.    I'm
                                intrigued by the Blink or Nest
                                cameras, but
                                it looks like their only options
                                are WIFI cameras, and I'd really
                                like
                                something POE.

                                I'm looking to put 2-3 cameras at
                                tower sites, so I can go back and
                                look
                                at recordings to see if anyone
                                has been there, or pull them up
                                to with
                                live view to see what the weather
                                is like at the site.
