Use localhost to run a web browser on the same machine as the software, Internal IP address to run a smart device or web browser on the same wi-fi network as the computer and cameras, and External IP Address to view your system while away from your own wi-fi network, such as on a cellphone, from a hotel, or from work. Sighthound is showing me three IP addresses in the Remote Access set up tab. A few cameras only stream to their own cloud services and cannot be used with third party software. Select “Other IP Camera” from the drop down and enter the IP stream info, usually found in the camera manual (more details here). If I need to go and review something though I can with Sighthound's mobile app.Does Sighthound Video work with IP cameras that are not on the pre-configured list? The mobile app for Sighthound is coming along, but I find Blue Iris much quicker to just pull up a quick view of what is happening right now.

I still find its detection while not perfect is far better than I have used in any other program I have tried and it makes looking for things that happened during the day much easier than sifting through hours of footage and if needed the whole day is there as well not just clips. Sighthound is harder to track since it spawns off different processes for the cameras, but I would estimate it uses around 12 to 25 percent as well depending on what is happening.

At night it is lower since a few cameras don't have IR and have less activity. The machine it is running on currently is a 8 core AMD 8350 and Blue Iris by itself during the day uses around 10 to 20 percent cpu depending on the load. That saves on both packages hitting the cameras at the same time and keeps the bandwidth needed much lower.

I use Blue Iris as the 'hub' and all the feeds go through it then using localhost Sighthound connects to Blue Iris for all of its feeds. I have them all running on a Windows server 2012 r2 box that also handles nightly backups. I currently have 9 cameras active in different ranges of resolution from around 480 up to 1080. I still like Blue Iris as the web portion seems a bit better and quicker to pull up on all the remote devices we use it on. When I started using Sighthound it was Vitamin D and didn't have any remote viewing options so that's why I used Blue Iris for that portion.
