Ok, I *must* not have made clear what I was asking for. Let me try one
more time....
We want an appliance, such as
<http://www.zmodo.com/4ch-h-264-full-d1-dvr-500gb-hdd-with-4-cmos-480tvl-ir-outdoor-security-cameras-with-11-leds.html>,
that we can put on our network, and manage, and d/l videos for long-term
storage, onto a server. We have exactly, um, two? boxes running Windows,
and we normally do *nothing* with them. We've over 100 servers running
Linux, and that's where we live.
Currently, the USB cameras are connected to ->CENTOS SERVERS<-, no WinCrap
at all. We use the standard package motion to record for surveillance.
We're looking for an "appliance", like the link I give above, that we can
manage the same way that we manage an HP printer, which does *NOT* require
IE, and we can do with firefox, or probably even konqueror. At the very
least, we want to use, say, wget, to d/l the videos.
NOTHING RUNNING WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, if I can calm myself down, have I made it clear what it is we're
looking for? If so, can anyone recommend a source for such an appliance?
