Server only it will run on less then a atom. The EL box is has an atom in it and exacq limits it to 24 ip cameras. Also have Exacq running on 9.04 and 9.10 without any problems.

What 2MP camera is that?

That is a first for me. Did you try restarting the machine?

Just saw images from the 10MP and my eyes tell me the image is better then the 5MP

I am with Hardwired on this one. I have deployed Ubiquiti, Engenius, Routerboard setups for PTP and PTMP links without any problems.

Avigilon 16MP = $15000 Arecont 10MP = $1300

If they're not an authorized dealer, how are they getting the sofware to sell? Are you suggesting that they are selling pirated software? In any case, how is an end-user to know what the MSRP is, or whether or not that reseller is an authorized dealer? If exacq has a gripe, they would need to take it out on the dealer, not on the end-user. Unless exacq can prove that an end-user knowingly purchased illegal software, then they would have to support the end-user's purchase. Otherwise they'd be setting themselves up for a lawsuit. No the are not selling pirated software. They are advertising below MSRP which is a no no. Are you an end user or in the biz?

http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2010/20100504comp.htm is that the D510?

So Exacq will punish the end-user by not supporting the software after it had been legitimately purchsed from an authorized dealer because that dealer had a $10 off sale? Nice. Doesn't say anywhere that they are authorized dealer and if they where they would not be selling below MSRP.

http://www.midwestsurveillance.com/exacq-evip01-p/evip-01.htm?gclid=CMzYpquyy6ECFRmjagodrA5VfAThey're listing it on sale for $10 off. (I hope I'm not getting them in trouble by posting this here.) Anyway, I still don't know what they mean by "1-Channel" on the software. Can you explain? Exacq will shut them down for selling below MSRP. Also they will not support any product bought from them.

Yes server only Atom 330. There is a newer Atom out but I haven't heard of any big improvements.

server/client specs I don't know what you mean by that answer, but the requirement I quoted was for the server's processor, not the client's. Client requirements are "Intel® Celeron® Processor 420 at 1.6 GHz or greater" (Windows). But don't you need the Q7404 to get quality H.264 compression / full frame rate / D1 resolution encoding? Are there lesser-priced encoders that produce similar quality? http://www.midwestsurveillance.com/exacq-evip01-p/evip-01.htm?gclid=CMzYpquyy6ECFRmjagodrA5VfAThey're listing it on sale for $10 off. (I hope I'm not getting them in trouble by posting this here.) Anyway, I still don't know what they mean by "1-Channel" on the software. Can you explain? That is a license for one channel. You want 10 channels you need 10 license.

If the Atom works fine, then why do the requirements for the Exacq VMS software specify that the server have an "Intel® Dual Core Pentium E2160, 1.8 GHz or greater"? server/client specs Ok, I just looked at the exacqVision EL and discovered it includes 16 analog inputs. So that means it's more than just a "server"; it's also an analog video encoder. So I guess $3,000 is not too bad a price considering an Axis Q7404 4-ch encoder costs $1,000. Still, I think a better option would be to build your own system based on the Exacq VMS software as you suggested. You don't have to use the Q7401 look at the 240Q for 499 or Vivotek or Acti for less Yep, I was searching around and came up with those same prices. That encoder is expensive! If starting with a new system, then I think it would be better to skip the encoder and just go with IP-based cameras. On the other hand, I really like the specs of the CNB VBM-24VF MonaLisa and V1167NVF WDR cameras. But damn, $1,000 for just 4-channels? So what IP cams are in the same performance and price class as the CNB cams? Also, the best price I found for the VMS Software was $139. But it was listed as "VMS Software 1-Channel". So does that mean you can only monitor one camera? How much does it cost to add additional channels? Mind posting a link for the $139?

An Intel Atom server? Now that's an oxymoron! The Atom processor was designed specifically for netbooks and other low-power (and lower-performance) mobile internet devices. I honestly cannot imagine how a company can justify designing (and pricing) a $3,000 "server" based on a processor intended for low-cost/low-performance consumer netbooks. I think the low-power "green" marketing is just a gimick to justify putting an underpowered processor into an overpriced "server". Is there really anything special about the exacqVision EL? Or is it basically just a dedicated rackmounted PC appliance? If so, then for what it is, the processor should be at least desktop grade, or the price should be substantially less. Why do you need to use a faster processor if the Atom works fine? Look around and find a 16 channel + 24 IP channel DVR that records at D1 all channels that only uses 40watts of power, works with Windows, Linux, Mac, all web browser and smart phones, 3 year warranty and expandable from 1 camera to thousands of cameras at thousands of locations. Let me know if you find anything. So I assume the Exacq software can perform on any standard desktop PC running WinXP, Vista, or Win7? If so, why would anyone shell out $3,000 for the exacqVision EL? If it's an enterprise rackmount system you're looking for, you could buy a 1U rack-mounted Dell PowerEdge R200 with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB RAM, and dual 160GB hard drives for $550. But I am intrigued by the use of using a PC-based software solution over a dedicated DVR. So... 1. So how much does the Exacq software license cost? Is it a one-time purchase or a annual fee? $150 per license + a optional $25 yearly upgrade fee 2. How much does an Axis Q7404 4-channel encoder cost? I think $1000.00 /quote]

I think you mean the Q7404. Yes sorry typo But all that does is convert your analog video stream into an IP-based encoded video stream. You still need some kind of recorder to capture, manage, and playback the encoded video, right? So would that be a dedicated unit, a PC add-in card (hardware), or just PC-based software? PC running Exacq software using a 4 channel encoder for analog cameras. I took a quick look at Exacq and I'm guessing it's a software solution for managing the encoded video (i.e., a software "DVR"). Is that correct? But it appears their software is designed to run on a server. Their "low cost" exacqVision EL is priced over $3,000... hardly a comparable replacement for a sub-$1,000 dedicated DVR. What am I missing here? Well Exacq software will run on a Intel Atom without any problems as a server only. The Exacq EL box has a Atom processor and Exacq limits it to 24 IP cameras + 16 analog cameras. I have many installs on Atom boxes without any problems, they are reliable, cheap, low power and low noise. I have had 10 various megapixel cameras (1.3 to 8MP) working perfectly on some setups. price = Server + 1 license + 4 channel encoder Now you have a enterprise class, future prof NVR that works with Windows, Linux, Mac, every web browser, and web enabled smart phones at a great price point.

You could rip that out so easy

I would try and get at least one good long screw in a joist. Its drywall so don't put to much effort into it. You could go to the attic an attach a 2*4 between the joists, drill a hole for the wire, and mount the camera to it.

So Teamviewer now works with Linux without using Wine but I can't get it to run on startup. To connect I have to manually start it then I can connect. Does anyone know of a way to have Teamviewer startup automatically when Linux starts? Thanks for the help

Right now I am using the auto log in but I don't want to leave it that way. When I log into Window with Teamviewer it takes me to the Windows log in screen. I don't know how they do this but I would like to figure this out with Ubuntu.

Yea Onssi has a very nice product but your gonna pay for it

Easy..... Sell them the right network

What are you trying to prevent?

And better low light performance

Use computers with multi monitor video cards and VMS software like this..... http://www.onssi.com/component/option,com_product/Itemid,30/task,category/id,6/detail,description/
