[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3300921, member: 44288"] I sincerely hope Zoneminder is a much more stable platform than the Exacqvision and Milestone platforms I'm used to. Being Ubuntu based I'm sure it is more likely to be than Microslob. I started out with sequential camera MUX's and VCR's with analog cameras. I have installed multimillion dollar CCTV systems running both analog and network for 25 years. I have run analog PTZ cameras over fiber optics into a fiber MUX then into proprietary code translators. (which didn't go well - long story) I have used about every DVR and NVR platform there is from Ma-N-Pa 4 channel to enterprise systems world wide. All that being said I much prefer the old analog systems of transmission compared to network. If an analog system goes down there is a physical reason for that to happen not because some magnetic pixie dust got it's shorts in a wad because of some automatic update Microslob thought we needed to fix machines in Zimbabwe. Yeah it actually happened. We installed Exacqvision in a bunch of facilities and just when they needed the recorded video, guess what happened. Tech support was great but had no clue. It just quit working for some reason. All it took to get it started again was a reboot. The damn thing just stopped recording. There was no outside access to the NVR. They were all on their own private network not associated with the facilities main network. in any way. I do like megapixel and HD cameras and I feel they are kind of still in their infancy because the technology today is almost obsolete by next week. They are still inventing compression protocols and really have not decided upon a standard as of yet. Give me the cameras of today with the robustness of yesterday. [/QUOTE]
