Yeah, Microsoft is the only way to go, isn't it Sheep. No, we are in a business where security of data is paramount, and Microsoft products are not an option.

You are oblivious.

This product is held out as working well on Linux, and it does not.What would you suppose I should have thought?

All right. That's it for Mobotix.

Someone has clarified for me that {redacted}

I actually downloaded {redacted} And I actually bought a disk drive to install Windows on the backup server, but when I boot the CD to install (same CD as on the workstation), when it goes to boot Windows {redacted} Not buying or running Windows permanently.

Already asked about exposure. My response is on the first page, about 5th down. When I first started I did a factory reset, and framerate hasn't improved since, except slightly when I changed to MxPEG.

So I've installed {redacted}

It is in effect recording to {redacted}

Hadn't thought of {redacted} We have run Linux for 14 years for security reasons, and have never never had a problem like this.

See, the problem seems to be {redacted}

We've proven that {redacted} WTH? Laughable. Is this the '60's?

And then there's this thing called 'budgeting your time'. Maybe some people have lots of time for games, but I am a real estate developer, and have far more important things to do than fsck with an expensive camera for three weeks which is supposed to have all the answers down. I have to actually make a living!

Well, on {redacted}

I'm not using {redacted} I think I'm going to shelve the idea of security cameras for a while. I've just thrown away three weeks on this project.

Haven't tried {redacted}

I used {redacted}

Well, restoring {redacted}

Have set it to {redacted}

Can't use MxCC, as {redacted}

Good to know though that there doesn't seem to be {redacted}

Tried to look at your camera, but {redacted}

When I check {redacted}

I am losing hope for this brand. Sure glad I ran these tests before I made a major commitment.

Don't worry wireguys, I didn't buy it from you.

bpzle I have been working with them, and in turn with Mobotix. I've requested an RMA.

for frame rate, maybe its the extremely slow Atom PC? I mean with the live video streaming on it? MP cam on my P4 which is faster than the Atom, had the CPU maxed right out.

Long story, but {redacted}

I have to suspect:

a. {redacted}

The line between the camera and backup server {redacted}

The workstation is connected {redacted}

So takeaway is, I am doing New Science here, and there are no real tools or expertise to help. {redacted}? I don't know, and no one else seems to.

I bought it from{redacted}

OK. I accept that. So as I say, my hope now is that {redacted} Something's freeping wrong. Anyone know?

OK figured out how to {redacted}

{redacted}

For some reason {redacted}

I know that {redacted}?

I can run either {redacted}

{redacted}

Thanks Voipmodo. This is a {redacted}

Have a Mobotix {redacted}

But when I {redacted}

I have done the{redacted}

Also my {redacted}

As I say I am not here to bicker, no matter how baited.

All right, I'm not here to bicker. No, I don't have vast experience with other apps, but I am a new user and find MxEasy easy and effective for me. That's all I need to know, and maybe it will help others. You can duke it out with yourself in the kitchen... this is too stupid for me.

(BTW, it's annoying when someone repeatedly confuses 'there' with 'their'. Gives the wrong impression of your education)

Sorry MxEasy is not easy or fast. ... Maybe it is easy for you because you haven't tried 50 other VMS but trust me there is a lot better software on the market then MxEasy.

Eh, MxEasy is easy and fast. Quick to set up and configure and intuitive to use. Shouldn't ever have to search weeks of video, if you're keeping up with things.

Unlike traditional security systems, Mobotix has a decentralized approach to video surveillance. The cameras incorporate a high-speed computer and internal flash to enable all recording and storage to occur within the camera, reducing the need for a separate PC or DVR. Furthermore, all data is processed within the camera to lower network bandwidth, which maximizes robust features such as virtual PTZ and 360-degree hemispheric technology with panoramic view. All this on three frickin' watts, and no fan, heater, or iris ever needed.

I have mine set up so it stores directly to my backup server, and the server forwards video streams to other machines where they are viewed, so the backup server is just an Atom with terabytes of storage.

And there software is so complicated to use they have to give it away and people still don't use it

The VMS software was designed for MP cameras where everyone else designed the software for analog cameras and are now adapting to MP.

You are very competent dude, but both of these statements are false. I haven't tried Mobotix's ControlCenter, but MxEasy is just that. And Mobotix is megapixel from the ground up.

Actually MxPEG is also pretty revolutionary. Only changes in the scene are transported. And all of Mobotix's software is free, even the most capable; this effectively reduces the price of the camera considerably. Also their software runs on osx and linux!

Well, I had a catastrophic disk failure on my workstation (Thank you again Seagate, it's WD from now on), and unfortunately Debian botched the current OS release so it won't install. On the backup server where the camera is, there's a KDE problem and I have to reinstall the OS there as well. Meanwhile my phone quit and internet modem quit.

So I've been so ****faced with problems that I haven't made any progress. But the camera is installed and appears to have booted as the #0 light is on.

I'd sent away for the MobotixPOE injector, but SecurityBestBuy took a week to get around to starting to think about shipping it. So I cancelled my order and looked for alternatives. Researched POE switches here and discovered that Netgear makes one, from a post by wireguys in '09. I trust Netgear. Bought the GS108P for just a little more than the single-port Mobotix, and it seems like just the thing. Mobotix confirms they use the FS108P for demos, and the GS108P is the same but adds gigabit. Lifetime warranty?! C'mon, that's unreasonable... just like the lifetime warranty on my Ridgid drill and its batteries! Ridiculous.
