Run Blue Iris Twice on Same PC?

Post by Bruce »

Hi,

Can I run 2 separate instances of Blue Iris on one PC? The reason would be to separate 2 sets of cameras so that each set has it's own live view port. Would I then need 2 licenses?

Thanks!

I don;t think you need to do this.

You can define cameras to groups - a camera can belong to multiple groups. Then you can define users, and limit a user to 1 or more groups, or all groups.
In this way you can set a user to view only the cameras you want them to view.

Is this what you want to accomplish?

Mike is spot on!
Under each cameras settings, GENERAL tab you can set up your group names. One done check the "All cameras" icon in the top middle of the screen and you can choose which individual group you wish to view from there.

Thanks MikeBwca as I was unaware of being able to place cameras in multiple groups... That is very helpful to me.
