Thanks for the reply Matthew. The specific constraint I am having with this site is related to having two sites with limited bandwidth (rural area). I'd like to run two instances of BI specifically to allow for local motion detection without having to push the video over the WAN (until viewing is required). The problem with this is that I loose the ability to manage both sites over the same
BlueIris App. Seems like this maybe an issue with the lack of aggregation of management/viewing functionality in the Blue Iris clients (http and iOS app).
Does the Blue Iris App allow aggregation of server instances and their cameras for the purposes of occasional remote viewing and archival footage access? If not, I would agree that your suggestion of pushing the video over the WAN (this is what I am doing today) is the only answer. It just seems wasteful and limiting to scale the platform while keeping your infrastructure complexity and costs to minimum. Also, if not, seems like a good opportunity for a 3rd party client/app to allow for this.
