Hi, I'm new to the forum, please excuse any mis-steps.
After having lived off grid and remote for a number of years, and seeing many properties get robbed/cleaned out...down to the catchment tanks, I've developed a bit of necessary paranoia. So far, I have lost my front gate and some yard chattel, that's annoying but not life altering. But it got me thinking about security, and running security camera systems on low power consumption systems.
The summary is that I really like having IR cameras with high megapixels but at 12-18 watts each at night, plus the nvr, etc, it runs into a bit of a hit with 8 cams.
So I came up with what I think is a nice solution. Its a management system on a linux platform on an sbc with PoE. Im targeting half or less power consumption of a grid tied nvr. I want to develop it into a product, so I put my ad up on Indiegogo. What I'd like from this forum is feedback, like if its of interest, other needs, etc. Also. id prefer not to be banned for posting a link lol. I would like to consolidate the discussion there, but here sees like a good place to start.
Thoughts? thanks in advance.
