Starting to get into ip cams once again. I've got my poe injector ready and started to add cameras.

I've tested XProtect, Blue Iris and Bluecherry. I think I'll be going with Bluecherry since it runs efficiently like XProtect and has the features I need without breaking the bank.
 
I like that Bluecherry runs on linux and seems to have wide camera compatibility. I don't like the licensing model though. And there seems to be no demo/trial version.
 
Looks like you have to buy a completely new license if you need to upgrade from, say, 4 cameras to 8 cameras, or 8 to 16, etc. The prices are just high enough that many home users would not want to buy a larger license to start with, especially with no demo or trial version available.

The pricing seems pretty reasonable. They said to go from 4 to 8 cameras one would buy an additional 4 camera license.

Oh, well that isn't so bad then.
 
I've decided to just go with Milestone Essential. It simply works too well and is not something I'll need to worry about. I want something reliable and it works flawlessly.

CPU use is really low compared to anything else.
