      • Android Client/App

        • iPhone client/app

          It seems like most of the people working for us have either an iPhone or an iPod touch. It'd be great to have a very simple app that allows them to login and maybe select an individual camera to view. Wouldn't have to have a ton of features, but just the ability to pull up the cameras on the iPhone/iPod touch would be great.

            • Make a Virtual Machine(s) to run on Workstation, ESXi, Fusion, and/or VMWare Server

              Especially once V2 is out with IP support, being able to run this in a VM would make this a Killer App. Benefits would be 1) quick and easy deployment, 2) no need for a dedicated system. Perhaps even if you made an IP Camera Only version if the hardware is difficult, I still think it would be popular!

              • Support cameras that only provide a MJPEG feed

                Support for Dlink 3220 ip cameras or just dlink in general. There alot of low budget cameras that would be ideal.

                          • add an audible alarm to the client to sound when motion is detected

                            Would be great to add an audible alarm to the client to sound when motion is detected; this would draw attention to the monitor on which the client is showing the camera feed.

                                • Have a separate schedule for motion-triggered relays

                                  I would like to trigger a relay to turn on lights, but only want to trigger them when it is dark outside. I could build a photocell to only trigger the relay, but it would be nice to have a schedule page for these events.

                                  • Embed date and time in exported video recordings

                                    Some cameras do not support embedding the date/time in the video display. Therefore, our recording software must put the date/time display in the exported video recordings for us. Without date and time showing up in the videos, the footage is worthless as evidence in court cases. Our current NVR solution does this, but I hate everything else about the software and am planning to move to BlueCherry v2 if it supports this upon release.

                                      Eldon,

                                      I agree this is a very important feature. The analog cards provide this time stamp, so that part was easily. Dealing with streams that aren’t kind enough to add a OSD for the date / time is something that we need to implement.

                                      I can’t promise this will be added before 2.0, as it will require some development thinking time to implement correctly.

                                      Which cameras are you using that aren’t providing the date / time? Most of them that I’ve seen that are sane enough to support RTSP have support for OSD.

                                      Thanks

                                      At times Apache can be a beast to install SSL certs. A quick and easy SSL install for the web interface would be nice

                                      • Allow separate motion detection zones for triggering relays, etc.

                                        I would like to be able to trigger a relay (to turn on lights, ring a doorbell, etc.) with a different motion detection zone than the one used to trigger recording.

                                        • Make us an option to start/stop motion alarm without loosing trigger view config

                                          I live quite North on our planet and it's snowing here, and the alarm is going highwire on all cameras. It shuld be an easy way to start/stop the alarms without reconfigure the trigger view for each camera when it stops snowing again. if i have 16 cameras and must reconfigure every cam each time........ Im gona loos it ;-)

                                          • Add crashplan backup software

                                            Crashplan (inexpensive online backup solution) allows you to run a "headless" version on linux. Currently you have to proxy your connection from another machine through SSH to configure the headless (bluecherry) machine. It would be awesome if there was a way to put in your crashplan credentials and encryption key and have the software configure itself. This would allow all video recordings to get archived offsite easily.
