    CCTV over CATV

    I would use a low end RF modulator (channel vision) to send the signal throughout the house. This way even if you decide to go with your cable provider you can add a low pass filter later on.
  3. We have been building/installing VPON systems (Linux DOM) for the last 3 - 4 years. The ease of DOM's have made us stay away from Windows systems. That said some pros and cons on linux: Pros: 1. OS not HDD dependent 2. Don't have to pay for the OS 3. Fast COLD BOOT 4. User friendly - specially using the IR Controller 5. Truly Plug-N-Play 6. Remote Firmware Updates 7. GUI customization using local/remote FTP 8. Minimum/No installer/user interaction - post installation - no windows updates, AV, etc 9. IDIOT Proof and dedicated - hard to mess up the DVR Core even if the user tries hard Cons: 1. Need specific hardware - specially VGA and Audio Cards 2. Web Servers are not that Windows friendly - specially with Vista (ActiveX signing issues) 3. Video quality not up to par with windows contenders (similar priced) 4. Need a Laptop or linux/windows boot (rescue) CD to work with the DVR HDD's 5. No multitasking - PC becomes a dedicated DVR - These are some of the pros and cons off the top of my head and based on the VPON DOM Model.
  4. Thanks for the quick reply. I think I know the distributors you are talking about but that's not going to do any good for me Oh well the search continues...
  5. I am looking for Eyemax DVR cards in LA area. Ebay carries quite a few but seems like there are ton of knock-offs around. Any tips or links would be much appreciated.
