Amcrest has Blue Iris v5 on sale for 49.49, when using HOLIDAY10 coupon for 10% off.

https://amcrest.com/blue-iris.html

You will be emailed the license key after checking out. Then you download the software directly from Blue Iris website http://blueirissoftware.com and input license key

I stumbled upon this deal by looking through a deal from a year ago for v4 and an old code is still working. Not sure if this will drop again on Black Friday.

Buying v5 from Blue Iris is $69.95

Worth the cost to update from 4?

I'm also interested in an answer to this question.

When I looked at it a few weeks ago the users were reporting a lot of bugs in the early release of v5. I know the developer is responsive and the license will be good for a couple of years, but I've got 2 licenses to upgrade and want to make sure the new features are worth the upgrade.

if you have licence for 4, you can purchase a year of Extended Service for $29.95 which allows you to upgrade to 5.

What if you have version 3?

I have version 3 and it supports onvif, so I would find it hard to believe they would remove such a useful feature.

Although the developer makes more money buying direct through him, all 3rd party sellers are selling you a legitimate product key and you DL straight from the developers website. There is no difference.

My experience 3 years ago was ispy wasn't as easy to setup. I wasn't really able to set it up just right, always either too sensitive or too non-. The UI was also chunky. Blue Iris was miles better back then.

Is this a one year license, or a regular license with one year tech support?
I can't find if it's a subscription or not.
