John you to should work together.

Why give it out for free?

Did you get the laptop dock?

Well?

UPdated pricing

Thanks for the help I ordered the 1080P today.

Thiea Lenses are very nice.... I have the 183 on a Avigilon 5MP an it is very impressive.

What 5MP cameras are you using? Also are you using IR corrected lenses? http://rayteccctv.com/default.aspx

Soundy

If you want MP Mobotix is the only solution that I know of. http://www.mobotix.com/other/content/view/full/37540

Ok so what is your question? Does Axis have good low light? answer is NO. If you want good low light look at the Arecont 3135, Mobotix m12, Also might want to take a look at the Vivotek Supreme cameras. To my point of "shooting your self in the foot" if your limiting your camera selection to what ZoneMinder supports you are limiting yourself. Hopefully Zoneminder supports the cameras listed above. Otherwise good luck.

When did I disrespect you? If your doing this as a hobby and your main goal is a "open" solution go for it. If you want a reliable security solution I think you are looking at this the wrong way.

I have installed many 4201, 1231 and 7411s. Most recently I have used the TCM-4201 and with a firmware upgrade I have been very happy with the camera at that price point. 1.3 MP, POE and audio there really is nothing else at that price level. Also the new TCM-7811 looks promising. http://www.acti.com/product/detail/Fixed_Dome_Camera/TCM-7811

Because I have seen the FD8134 and the video was very good. I have not seen any video from the FD8161

Your definitely shooting your self if the foot going with ZoneMinder. Why not look at Exacq? It runs on Linux.

you will need this... http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html

I would look at this one from Vivotek. http://www.vivotek.com/products/model.php?network_camera=fd8134

PM me with prices. What country are you from?

Where can you find a processor, disk drive, and memory that does not include proprietary technology? Yep. Yep and yep. Yep. Best, Christopher If you going to use the web server I would upgrade to a more powerful processor.

Could you clarify what you mean by headless setups? Do you mean NVR systems that do not require an add-in card such as a GeoVision DVR cards? And lastly, if you don't mind, could you share the specs on your ATOM system? Ex. PSU wattage, brand, case, memory, etc... I'm debating on a very small box or a bigger box that can support up to 4 HDD total. Small Box: http://www.mini-box.com/M350-universal-mini-itx-enclosure using picoPSU power supply at 60W Pro: Very small; easier to hide Con: Room for two 2.5" HDD only. or something bigger like a Silverstone or Lian case that can handle a regular size ATX case. Pro: Easier to find replacement PSU; Room for 3.5" HDD that can hold 2TB+. Cons: Bigger case and much harder to hide. I'm still reading up the specs of the components to make sure 60W is sufficient when running both hard drive at full speed, CPU at 100%. I'm just afraid it may draw too much power and cause the powerbrick to heat up and become a fire hazard. Thanks! Headless as in no Monitor, Keyboard or Mouse. As for my Atom solutions that a product that I have spent alot of time and money developing and testing. This is a solution I sell to customers and something I am not going to give out for free. If you would like to purchase the Exacq licences from me I would be more then happy point you in the right direction for your Atom system.

Rory claims to regularly build Exacq NVRs on Atom systems... That was me with the Exacq on Atom systems. Yes it will work for headless setups.
