When purchasing a home security system, you have the option of going with a Linux-embedded security system (similar to your DVR that records your favorite TV shows) or a (PC-based) computer security system.
Below, you will see the top 5 reasons to go with a PC-based or computer security system for your home security application:
- Flexible – Most PC-based DVRs can work with IP cameras, as well as Analog cameras. This will allow you to seemlessly move from older technology to newer technology or have a mixture of both.
- Expandable – You can add additional cameras and/or storage much easier than with a linux-embedded DVR.
- Maintenance – If a component fails, it is much easier to replace since PC components are readily available.
- Features – For most PC-based DVRs, there are a lot more features offered such as missing object/object left behind detection, object counting, etc.
- User Accounts – For most PC-Based DVRs, you have the ability to have thousands of user accounts, with customized security levels for each.
Linux-embedded security systems do have their place too, though! I will be covering the top 5 reasons to go with a linux-embedded DVR next week. Stay tuned!
