Bluecherry is a powerful video surveillance solution for monitoring and recording video footage. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Bluecherry on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Before installing Bluecherry, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to update the package repository and install the necessary dependencies:
