  1. Re:Viruses? (System is running Win2K) by linuxwebadmin · · Score: 1 · on A DVR Security System That Isn't Based on Windows?

    Too many postings to sift through, but the documentation states that the system uses Windows 2000 as its OS.

  2. Antivirus Software by jesseck · · Score: 1 · on A DVR Security System That Isn't Based on Windows?

    The company I work for also uses the Pelco DX8000 DVRs. I did some research on Pelco's site, and here: http://www.pelco.com/products/default.aspx?id=315 under the Documentation you can find a couple of PDFs about installing and running antivirus software (McAffee and Symantec). I am also making the sugestion to my director to run one of these (one DVR was taken out about a month ago by a worm or virus).

  3. Re:Video Mixer by BrianRaker · · Score: 1 · on Video Multiplexing on Large Screens?

    Edirol (now part of the Roland Group) makes decent equipment. Unfortunately, video switchers typically take multiple inputs and will only display one (or two, if in the middle of a wipe/dissolve/whatnot) on the output.

    Same goes for the Sony unit. That is meant for conference rooms; lots of mic/audio inputs, only a handful of video inputs, and it doesn't mention multiplexing. At best it's going to do the same as a typical video switcher will.

    While this particular product may not provide the highest quality multiplexed images, it *is* however what the original poster is looking for.

  4. If you have the money... by duplo1 · · Score: 1 · on High Tech Baby Monitoring?

    ...consider investing in something like the PelcoNet NET350, which supports dual mpeg4 as well as bi-directional audio streamed over ethernet. Coupled with a decent dome camera that supports full PTZ(Pan, Tilt, Zoom) controls, a microphone and speakers, you'll have the complete, latest-and-greatest in surveillance technology setup.

    Don't forget to hook up the alarm, which should be programmed to go off upon detecting motion in the crib.

    To access the video/audio stream, simply form a VPN connection to your home network, type in the IP address of the Net350 (or similar product)and watch away. You even have the added benefit of having the ability to speak to the baby, provided you have a decent mic on your laptop.

    The entire setup will set you back a couple grand, but it should be the ultimate setup for geeks. I wired an entire college campus with a network of these things a few years back - really quite impressive, and it should stream just fine over a moderately fast DSL connection. Do however check up on the legality of the bi-directional audio capability. Last time I checked, it wasn't exactly legal in the US.

    However, if you plan on outdoors security, an Axis camera is definitely not what you want.

    Actually, you can buy outdoor enclosures and mounting systems like the ones from Pelco for the Axis cameras. If you don't want to do it yourself, there are many retailers who build complete packages of cameras, enclosures, and accessories.

    Also, ThinkGeek sells the Axis 2100 and the Axis 2120. And to make it even cooler, the cameras run Linux.
