Does this require the PC to operate 24/7? Or is there some way it can upload directly to the cloud and record and provide accessibility to mobiles?

The software must be running on a PC to upload video and images. So if you need video 24x7 then yes, the PC must be on the entire time.The other option is to have the cameras FTP or email the images when motion is detected. Though you will miss a lot versus using Blue Iris.

You must pay for another license to operate the software on a second computer. Single Machine License only. Buyer Beware.

The PC must be on for BlueIris to run, so if you want monitoring 24/7 you must keep the PC running. The software does have ability to setup schedules if there are specific times where you do not want to monitor, but still the PC must be running for the software to work. I have mine configured to store the files to Dropbox so they are available anywhere dropbox is available. I installed BlueIris on a cheap refurbished Windows 7 PC that I dedicate to just BlueIris and leave it running 24/7. Does a great job.

easy way: after install this program on your second PC, click record icon, and don't turn off pc, it will record in 24hr. ...I dont know how to direct upload to cloud ..

It appears that it is saved to the memory card, not the cloud. You do have the option to download videos to your phone from the cameras memory card. You would have to do it before the crook unplugs it though.

I have it setup through my home computer. Any motion is recorded on that computer.

Yes, will work with no internet access (obviously won't be able to remotely view feeds/recordings). You don't need a computer at all. However, if you want to view the feeds/recordings, you will need a monitor or a TV hooked up the the security DVR.

I suppose, but HomeMonitor provides the clouds! Seriously, though, they provide online storage for the video the camera records. 7 days for free, and 30 days for a small monthly fee. You do need a WiFi network. Note also that thisHD camera is an INDOOR camera, so you'll have to point it out a window for clouds, or run your humidity way up inside your home!

The Parrot will record straight to your phone or tablet but i recommend getting a usb stick to record to as your video stream will lag less if you record locally than on to your phone/tablet.

Yes, this is not a "Cloud" it's a direct connection through USB. Other Models which called My Book "Live" works like a cloud being connected to the internet.

Hello,That would be through a separate recorder or a computer set to do that or maybe a cloud service. I havent done it so you'd have to do research.

You do not connect it to the computer for recording. The recording feature works by storing the data from the night inside the device. In the morning, you connect to a laptop or desktop computer and upload the data. Unfortunately, the software only works with a Windows-based computer. This is a big problem for a lot of people. I have to use my work laptop since all of my computers at home are Macs. I do not believe it will work with any iOS device like an iPad.

No, no cloud or even wifi required. I have a SD card loaded in mine and I don't even have to offload the scans for a while. Big improvement over models that require being connected to the computer or cloud.

U guess u can. I used 1 as access point and it worked. I believe cloud feature doesn't work if u use it as access

You don't have to continue with the Cloud service and can just keep everything on ur PC. The cloud service is for backing up and remote access of your data. It's a terrific software package if you want to eliminate your filing cabinet. I've used it for the last two years and recently upgraded. As I'm on the road, I can take pictures of all my receipts and the cloud service captures them, I then have the Neat software generate an expense report! It works great. I highly recommend it. It's a real document solution, not just a scanner.
