Is Bluestacks App Player a safe application / bluestacks.com a safe site?

[Mark_Albrosco]

Considering downloading the Blue Stacks Apps Player from www.bluestacks.com to use for security camera viewer (HIK vision's iVMS 4500).

Virus Total listed the site as safe 0/66, the community has a +34 score - 84 thumbs up and 33 thumbs down.

Appreciate any help I can get.

Hello,

 

what do you mean, the Android Emmulator for Pc, from this Source:  https://www.bluestacks.com/ 

Or what ?

In this case, that i above mentioned is PUP, and other crap included.😯

I've never had any problems with it, but I have heard from others in the thread about it. I haven't run it on a main PC ever, but on a laptop I don't use often or a VM it should be fine.

Hello, well you can try it.

But please read this also carefully, https://www.quora.com/Is-BlueStacks-safe-for-my-PC

What, do you want ?

What do you really want to do on the Android track?

You can also try also Genymotion, https://www.genymotion.com/

The Trial, after that that 99 $ , each Year, I guess. Or I am wrong.

Hello,

well install Bluestacks, on your Pc, and run a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and you see the result´s.

MAM - re: your question on reason for using it.

I have a HIK Vision NVR, and want to view it remotely from my PC using the iVMS 4500 application.

But the application is meant for mobile device OS platforms. When I searched for the iVMS 4500 download for Windows 10, it was suggested that I install bluestacks and this would allow the iVMS 4500 application to run in the emulator on the PC.

You should not have to install that software to view your cameras feeds, according to this link, you can download the software you need from the Microsoft Store.
