I love Home Assistant and have been using it for years. It just keeps getting better and better over time! With so many new features added all the time I have just started blowing away my entire VM of it and recreating from scratch to see what's new. It's a good problem to have!

Blue Iris in the other hand... just give me a damn version that runs on Linux natively and not some Wine bullshit.

Frigate seems fairly popular among Home Assistant users for security cameras.

I think ZoneMinder is still going too which used to be the go to Linux option for that.

Having used both these and Shinobi cctv. Frigate is by far the best. I can't recommend it enough.

Check out iSpy: https://www.ispyconnect.com/

It can even run in Docker (which is how I'm running it). Not as intuitive as BlueIris but the dev is super-active and responsive to new features and bug fixes. Been running it for a couple of years now and like it.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll give this one a shot. I think I tried it a few years back so it is time to try it again.
