    1. 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.

        • Easy SSL certificate install

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

            • automatically play next event

              When using search. It would be great to have a button so when you play an event, you could hit that button and it would go ahead and begin playing the next event. Seems now you have to manually select each event. So if you bring up a camera and need to watch over a period of an hour looking for something, then you have to click on each individual event to play it. It would be nice if you could just start it playing and sit back and watch like you could in Version 1.

              • Limit FPS for recorded events

                Would be really usefull to limit the FPS that events get recorded with. It's nice to have a fluid live view but makes little sense to waste hdd space on 24fps video when even 1fps would be sufficient for surveilance purposes.

                  • 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

                        • Dont let all non admin users change the live view setting globaly for all other users

                          Created a user "guest" with only web view rights.
                          That user could change the layout of the view. (thats ok)
                          The user logged out and one admin user logged into web interface and the view was changed to that the guest user last changed it to. (that is not ok) ;-)

                                  • Record now and Stop Record of selected camera feeds.

                                    Maybe not important for straight up surveillance, but in the scientific application I'm hoping to meet, it would be essential. Being able to select which camera feeds to record would be a big plus as well.

                                    • Display Camera Type and Model in devices list (Web GUI)

                                      you can select the make and model when adding a camera, but once in the device list there is no related information. Im more familiar with the makes of camera i have than the arbitrary names i gave them!

                                      • XBMC Add-on for live view

                                        I have a small XBMC powered machine (zotac) on each of my TVs. It would be awesome if there was an add-on where I could pull up the live view on these systems.

                                        • 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.

                                          Headless info: http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client

                                          • 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.
