Building Digital Video Recorders on the Linux platform
What you need to know about the Power of Linux
Take a look at some of the key advantages & benefits of a Linux DVR: Optimized system performance - Since Linux is an open-source, the Linux DVR system can be customized to include only functions and services which the customers need. Unnecessary applications such as e-mail and spreadsheet programs may be removed while some services may be fine-tuned to deliver optimized system performance. More reliable, stable and secure - Because Linux can be customized, it means that the operating system is not constantly carrying unnecessary application code. This increases the Linux DVR system's reliability simply because there are fewer services running. Your surveillance system is also less susceptible to attacks since most of the active computer viruses today that have been designed to strike server & desktop applications cannot damage anything (because the applications are not running). Moreover, Linux provides the ability for security and surveillance equipment developers to go directly into the code to remedy performance vulnerabilities. High-speed viewing, recording & playback - An optimized Linux-based DVR requires less memory or RAM. It also provides a bigger hard drive space. See below for a list of Neugent's Linux PC-based DVRs.
