<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Ryan, when you stated ''download and install the linux server and run it natively''. <br><br>1. Does that mean I can do something here on my end as far as not needing to use install VMware at all? I really would prefer to have a designated Computer/Server operating the Exacq appliance shown in the owners manual. The Exacq appliance appears to be running Ubuntu 12.04 or something like that. <br><br>Granted, I did not spend alot of time reading the manual 'about an hour' though I did 'skim' over the entire manual. <br><br>2. I found an add for a computer costing 80.00 and I am wondering if this would be a good server candidate? --> http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/sys/4873122693.html<br><br>Thanks for your time,<br><br>----<br>paul g<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ryan.coleman@cwis.biz<br>Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2015 16:03:18 -0600<br>To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Using a video camera with linux:<br><br>So you download and install the linux server… and run it natively? <div><br></div><div>All video cameras are taxing on the hardware.

I was unaware of the ONVIF compliant rating system on surveillance cameras. Perhaps that is why I found the Foscam unit while looking for dinner. Anyway, it seems like running even 1 camera with a virtual appliance is pretty taxing on the computer hardware. The most powerful desktop I have right now is a core 2 duo with 3 gigs of ram. I'm going to have to figure something out on my end here.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>----<br>paul g<br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From:<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:ryan.coleman@cwis.biz">ryan.coleman@cwis.biz</a><br>Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2015 08:19:35 -0600<br>To:<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org">tclug-list@mn-linux.org</a><br>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Using a video camera with linux:<br><br>Foscam cameras are ONVIF compliant (BARELY).<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>But you are talking an EXTREMELY CHEAP and VERY POOR FUNCTIONING camera and wanting to do something that comes from something more expensive.</div><div><br></div><div>—</div><div>Ryan</div><div><br><div><blockquote><div>On Feb 1, 2015, at 11:31 PM, paul g <<a href="mailto:pj.world@hotmail.com">pj.world@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="ecxApple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">Ryan, I have been reading through the Exacq manual.
