Re: NVR system for Camp Evans

I know I'm getting to this email late. I love the idea to run a linux based camera system. Instead of moving to a Axis system I'd rather see you stay on the Linux system or move to a unifi protect system. the unifi protect now supports ONVIF cams so the existing cams should integrate nicely. The existing wyse cams might be able to record to both the linux based system and unifi protect but I would make sure they're in a vlan that can't talk to the internet so they can't phone home. The main reason I was thinking Unifi Protect is if you're thinking of a site hardening grant You could use both unifi protect for cams and unifi access for access control for not only buildings but also gates in the future.

On deployment, it will record 16 cameras with a feature set very similar to the existing Wyse cameras. Recommend looking at their website to see if the software is lacking a desired feature. https://felenasoft.com/xeoma/en/ The major differences: * The video stays on site (not in the cloud) * We maintain complete control of the server * InfoAge not have to give away the rights to the images taken by our equipment (seriously, the Wyse terms of service actually require this https://www.wyze.com/pages/cam-supplemental-terms-of-service) Will touch base on additional camera locations, and provide a solid timeline on their deployment (all will be hardwired) Martin On 12/27/2025 5:52 PM, Martin A Flynn wrote: > > Jeff, > > Actually not - that's why I went with a commercial package with vendor > support. > > Martin > > On 12/27/2025 5:42 PM, Jeffrey Brace wrote: >> Great Martin! >> >> Thanks for the update! >> >> Do you have volunteers lined up to assist you in the project? >> >> <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> >> Virus-free.www.avast.com >> <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> >> >> >> >> On Sat, Dec 27, 2025 at 4:53 PM 'Martin A Flynn' via >> VCF-MA-Steering-Committee <steering_vcfma(a)vcfed.org> wrote: >> >> I have contracted with the folks from Felenasoft.com for sixteen >> (16) camera licenses for their flagship Xeoma product to run on >> the hardware below. >> >> Initial deployment plan is for the cameras on the Diana site, and >> expanding the system as funding allows. >> >> Cheers! >> >> Martin >> >> On 11/14/2025 4:47 PM, Martin A Flynn wrote: >>> >>> As previously noted, IA will be applying for a facility >>> hardening grant next summer, which would include a pair of Axis >>> appliance NVR. >>> >>> As an interim step, CDL was offered an HPE system we could >>> deploy a Linux based NVR on >>> >>> HPE G9 Server, Proliant DL380 G9 >>> Processor as offered: two x E5-2650 V4. 24 cores, 2.20 GHz >>> RAM as offered: 128GB DDR4 >>> Disk as offered: 9 x 1 TB drives >>> RAID Controller: HPE P440ar >>> >>> Stock photo: >>> >>> Anyone interested in taking point on a project of this type?

Hi Jeff, I will be there with the Dayton Computer Museum again this year with Stephen Frey our museum curator. He's still deciding what he'll bring. It was nice to meet you last year at VCF-Midwest on Sunday. Glady is still with DMA and is doing better. Not sure when you'll be able to meet her.
