Hi all. I'm pretty new to all the CCTV malarkey, but have a couple of SimCam Alloy 1S cameras that are currently running on the supplied phone App, but I'd like to go 'PC' for better control. SimCam provide info on how to connect up with Synology, but I'm aware that Blue Iris seems to have a decent reputation, so I was wondering if anyone could provide any pros and cons for either? Thanks :-)

Cheers Tom. I best repeat - I'm new to this, but I'm feeling my way around your reply! Ok, so VMS is Video Management Software, and this is seemingly what I was after - a program to provide a PC-operated system. So you reckon using a VMS - even BlueIris - won't provide for H265? It certainly has rtsp, but apparently not ONVIF. I've had rtsp streaming live on VLC media player. Essentially, all I'm after is a way to record this streamed image on to an HDD. The camera has an IP Addy, and on the App is an 'NAS/HDD Config' setting which indicates a //192.168.../folder. Does any of that help me?! Thanks.
