I am using three new camera models that are not yet on the list. It seems that thwre are new megapixel cameras every month. Acti has four new ones, and Hikvision has three.

To save on the costs of a security person to watch cctv monitors, some recoding software firms and even a few network cameras have built in SMS, MMS or SMTP servers. In this way, as soon as an external alarm input or video motion detection is detected, a snap shot of the site is emailed or sent to management staff. In this way, "false alarms" can be controlled or minimized. Recently, some new cctv security cameras also support TWITTER for alarm verification/notification. Is this on your software development road map? Megarecorder Most of our applications require that they run autonomously.

But currently it is not recommended to use this feature since LuxRiot server will restart camera if no images are received passing some timeout time (for example if no motion is detected for a long time period) 3) same as 1. 1) I am sorry to disappoint you, but Input and Output signal processing isn’t supported by LuxRiot yet, We plan to implement those features, however we have no estimated timelines for this task yet.

Are these function supported with LuxRiot? 2) On page 45 of the addendum to the Arecont camera/software manual it says: "the on-camera" (motion detection) feature was implemented to reduce overall network bandwidth so the camera itself will not send images until the motion is detected". This is a good feature, will this be implemented in LuxRiot? 3) Is it possible for Luxriot to send a signal to the optical I/O port on the Arecont 1300m camera so that external software or hardware can be activated such as external alarms, IR illuminators, lighting SMTP servers, NVR's? 1) I noticed that my Arecont cameras all have opto-isolated inputs and outputs, but I vcan’t find refence to these functions in the Arecont Operation manual.

I am using (3) 1300M and one usb camera with an Intel core2 duo 1.66 MHz. It is now tunning at 90% with Luxriot motion detection. The only other software apps are the DDNS remote software. I want to add more camewras and don't want the system to slow down or crash. Do you plan on adding an SMTP, SMS or MMS server for alarm verification/notification? My cameras are remote and unattended. I log in once every 8 hours to check them using a wireless network. I want to add many more remote sites, each with at least 4 MP ip Arecont cameras and don't want to babysit each site. I would like to receive some type of electronic notification of activity. The sites have very little human activity and are in remote locations. The cameras are not actively monitored except by periodic checks during hours of darkness.
