  1. So what? by Dr_Barnowl · · Score: 1 · on Slack Now Letting Employers Tap Workers' Private Chats

    What, we don't think that Lync and everything else that offers a chat server in your own rack can't be configured to do this?

    Hell, at my last office, they were feeding all our VoIP calls through this SIGINT app ; the only reason I found out was because I was copied in on ICT change reports for operational reasons and one of the changes was they moved the storage for the VoIP calls to another server.

    Presume that you're being watched. You likely are, by someone.

  2. Ho-hum. It's off-the-shelf technology. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps
    You can buy the software from these guys: http://www.verint.com/lawful_interception/index.cf m or these guys: http://www.nice.com/solutions/public/law_enforceme nt_agencies.php (the latter's tech support sucks, however).

    It runs on plain old Windoze servers. More Xeons means more calls recognized per hour.

    Call centers use this stuff. VoIP providers and ISPs can too. Sales reps will whisper that the NSA does, too.

    It's not all that expensive; most of the cost is in the Xeons (or Opterons, if you're smart, but Government procurement is not - it's not like it's their money).

  3. that's smartsight by Jjeff1 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Affordable Video Over IP as Standalone Devices?

    That link you have is actually to products by Smartsight. They were bought by Verint, and the product line renamed to Nextiva.

    Their stuff works very nicely, though it's tailored more for security applications. They have an S1100, which is wireless, though it will set you back 2000$ per endpoint(TV).

    The other poster is correct, unless you have need for the serial connection or alarms, going with just wireless video is great.

    If you want cheap, X10 has a package for under 100$

  4. Smartsight by Jjeff1 · · Score: 1 · on Cheap and Capable Video Monitoring Server?

    Take a look at Smartsight, now owned by Verint. They have networked video transmitters (and recievers if you want them), but typically you'd have the transmitters send video to a PC running their nDVR software. This is a digital solution, so assumes you already have a network in place. If not, you might just be better off with traditional analog.
    I've setup their systems a couple times. They work very nicely. One of my customers has p4-1.5 Ghz PC with standard IDE disks for their nDVR server. It supports over 30 cameras.
    The transmitters support any kind of camera. You can also get a traditional security camera and have pan/tilt/zoom control.
    You can view/control cameras from the server or any PC.
    If you want audio, you can do that.
    Costs are something like 1500$ for the server software, which supports up to 6 cameras and 2 viewers. More cameras or viewers are 150$ each. The transmitters are about 500$ each. If you have multiple cameras running to the same location, you can get a multiple input transmitter, which reduces the cost somewhat.
    If you're reasonably intelligent you don't need to hire anyone to set this stuff up. I did it without any training or support.
