A DVR Security System That Isn't Based on Windows? 383

Brady J. Frey asks: "For months, I've had a client that has been looking for a Linux or Mac alternative for their DVR Security systems. They are a large Real Estate company with 200+ cameras world wide, and their Pelco PC DVR's are hubs for viruses. These systems cannot run anti-virus software at the same time they record -- but require internet inbound/outbound traffic through specific ports that leave some nice holes in the firewall for viruses to find their way in as needed. Yes, we could put up a server in front of each, or a router that has anti-virus built in, however this is not a cost effective method for a number of their locations. Therefore we are looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?"

The poll options are right on target. No one owns their home, even if it's paid for, at least not in the US.

Home "owners" still pay rent for their land in the form of property taxes. Go ahead and try to not pay those taxes for a while and see how long you the government lets you live in that home you think you "own".
