Low Power Alternative Machine for iCam Server Side Software
« on: March 23, 2011, 04:40:22 PM »
iCam Team:

I am curious if there have been any thoughts around developing server side software that runs on a low power server.  I am thinking of the Linux "plug" computers that have a small footprint (energy and physical space-wise).

On a related note, is there a Windows or OS X capable machine that has low cost and has low power requirements like the Linux "plug" machines?  I do know the latest Mac mini does have low power requirements.

A Linux version has been requested in the past and is currently on our list of potential features to implement in the future.

I know my solution is not for everybody, but Im using a hackintosh with an Atom CPU (dual core), it's handling 4 ip cameras now, going to 6 cameras.

Any update on how your system is performing with the now six cameras in use?
