One of my coworkers experimented with the Ubiquiti AirCam (the regular
white ones, not the minis). 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. ;)
