Recommended DVR software for Windows and Linux

[PKL-Lap 0]

What DVR software would you recommend for Windows and Linux? Stand-alone and OEM. Paid and freeware

For what? Tivo use? CCTV use? How many cameras? Do you need Casino style setups (and more importantly are willing to pay for it)? Is it your home?

Hello Thomas!

 

For CCTV use. From 4 to 32 cameras. Paid software is fine. Its for both home and business.

 

Also. If the software supports 2nd/DUAL display mode. Lets say I have 2 19" LCD screens side by side. My video card supports DUAL display. So if I have a 32 camera set up. I can split the cameras in 16 each LCD.

 

I assume you mean the skin/GUI of a casino set up?

 

I'm considering looking at Windows XP Embedded platform. Have the DVR developed inhouse. But I think the development and licensing costs will be too much :/

I just checked out your website. Your software looks very good!

 

Does it support history playback remotely? Lets say I want to preview a certain clip 2 days ago at a specificed time frame.

4-32 cameras is a huge difference in price.

 

If you get a good/high end DVR it will support dual displays, and remote control/playback, in both standalone RTOS and pc, I prefer RTOS DVRS myself.

 

Im not sure if embedded XP is a true RTOS though?

 

Typically for embedded RTOS licences you will pay quite a bit, such as the Nucleus RTOS used in Kalatel DVRs and some other expensive ones. But if you use embedded linux it will be cheap/free, just 'slightly' less stable (from experience with linux DVRs). The Nucleus RTOS is designed for embedded apps though, check out:

They have SDKs if you like to play with that kind of thing. BTW, Kalatel DVRS use PowerPC with the Nucleus RTOS, as do some other US brands.

Used in everything from DVRs, to Coffee machines, Medical Equipment, cellphones, Robotics, and then some, worth checking out if you have some time on your hands ...

 

I think the hardest part of it would be the hardware ....

We do support recorded playback over the web, we just don't keep much on the demo server due to the fact that we're human and we don't want long term storage of us doing things.

 

As far as the casino goes, they generally use hardware/software in the higher end of the range. What they pay per system is alot more because they have to have systems that do more, record longer and in higher detail then the average user.

 

The question is as far as development, how many units will you need? A one off for the building? Then no. Entering the field? Then yes.

Entering the field.

 

Thanks for all the responses people! If you have any other DVR software recommendations for Windows XP or prefably Linux/BSD. Roll them in!
