Blueiris: V6 !!exclusive!!

Blue Iris V5 introduced "substreams," which reduced CPU usage from 80% to 15% by decoding low-res streams for motion detection while recording high-res direct-to-disk.

The entire software stack has migrated to the latest Microsoft Visual Studio environment. This move optimizes code execution for modern 64-bit multi-core processors, resulting in much smoother multi-camera rendering and reduced interface latency. All-New Database Engine

: Development is shifting toward ARM64 support , which is a requirement for running the software on new Apple Silicon (like M5 chips) via Parallels or potentially as a native variant [17]. 5. Dynamic Overlay Text blueiris v6

Scrypted generally has much lower hardware requirements; a low-power N100 mini-PC can easily handle the load. However, users note that while Scrypted has a beautiful native iOS app (arguably better than Blue Iris's), it lacks the raw feature depth of Blue Iris v6 and relies on a single developer for support.

For security setups monitoring driveways or entry points, V6 significantly improves . The software now includes a dedicated license plate management window with custom group lists. It supports automatic license plate OCR (Optical Character Recognition) when vehicles are detected, allowing for powerful automated tracking of vehicles entering and exiting a property.

In version 6, the AI processing now uses a . If you have 30 cameras and a raccoon runs across the yard, v6 prioritizes that alert over static trees. This prevents the AI server from becoming overwhelmed during heavy rainstorms.

: The software now officially supports up to 128 cameras , doubling the previous limit of 64. All-New Database Engine : Development is shifting toward

Faster switching between low-res previews and high-res playback.
