I remember him saying the NVR software records still frames to disk rather than an actual encoded video. Meaning that if you needed to provide video to the police, insurance, whoever - you're going to have to use their software to encode a video. Recording as still frames might be common, but I'd expect the software to run a job every hour or whatever to encode frames to video ... but what do I know.. I'm told the NVR software installs rather painlessly on Debian (since there's a *.deb package), but beyond that it can be pain. The AirCams we used do not do infrared night vision which is a big bummer. If you want any further details, let me know and I'll ask my coworker since he worked with them more than I did. ;) > > > >and, according to the website, the control software (airVision) should > >install also on linux > > BING!
