Comparing systems and Encoders

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, Im also stuck with 4 existing analog cameras. Hence, the need for the video servers.

 

At $50/channel, I guess its a really competitive price. I suppose all consumers would be extremely glad.

 

One question, TWG, do you ship to Singapore?

 

Also, do I necessarily need a Western Digital hard disk for Exacqvision as listed on it's website? I suppose a hitachi hardisk should be able to function as well am I right ?

 

Regards,

Nycky

If you get a video server with one IP address for all 4 cameras, you only need one license.

Does that also apply to their Linux version, or that strictly a windows price?

 

It includes the EL-S, which is embedded Linux, so I'm pretty certain it will include Linux boxes.

Edit: Also, given the way licensing is done in Exacq, I don't think the server will really care where it is running. It will just check to ensure the license is valid for the number of selected cameras.

No, but their website doesnt say you *have* to use only Western Digital. They also state that you can use a Seagate Barracuda, too.

 

See page two: http://exacq.com/downloads/exacqvision-VMS-spec-0309.pdf

 

The important thing is to make sure you are using an enterprise-class hard drive that is meant for read/write 24/7. Those are the two they recommend, but other enterprise-class drives should work as well.

+1. Some drives are not designed to read/write continuously.
