Just wondering about your hardware list:
1- Which cameras are you spec'ing out a 4 IP cameras for $180?
2- Which POE switch are your spec'ing out at $50?
Thanks

I set this up earlier today, and I must admit I am impressed. I am a huge fan of the RaspberryPi platform. I think I have 6 or 7 now in total!
I was able to get this software installed, and up in running in just a few minutes. While the software is barebones, it does work well. I was able to easily add several Dahua cameras via ONVIF in seconds. I was surprised even PTZ controls work!
Chrome works as well. No plugins to install. Video just worked. I was expecting a few hours in terminal to get this level of functionality. Not sure how much processing power is left for motion detect, but that might be there and I just missed it.
Despite how impressed I was with this software, it is not suitable for anything other than as a learning tool or as something to tinker with. Don't expect to see any casino's dropping in Pi clusters anytime soon.

This piqued my interest! I have installed Orchid on Windows, and Ubuntu, and my Raspberry Pi is on it's way.
The interface is super simple and sleek. There aren't a ton of features in the software.. which is good and bad....
I'm interested to see how far the Pi can be pushed, and an easy way to add a 3.5 inch hard drive to the mix and have it all in one container if possible.

How do you access it via smartphone? Is there an app?

It's all web based from what I have played with. Browser seems to play video from my phone and remote pc.

I tried Orchid both on Raspberry and on X86 and was pretty impressed.
But I’ve got two questions:
- Why can‘t Orchid record only those sequences where motion was detected and why does it only use server based motion detection - whithout any possibillity to configure motion detection in any way (set zones etc.)?
I think this could be a real deal-breaker for many people... so does it have technical or „philosophic“ reasons?
- How can I use manual focus with PTZ cameras?
Thank you!

Cort, thank you very much for your explanations!
Now I unterstand many of your decisions, but I think at least considering implementation manual focusing could help often when PTZ-ing live in difficult environment where trees, plants, etc. are in the sight line.
Does multi-framerate Recording work with any camera?

Factory prices for embedded PoE NVR's:
50-55 for 4channel, 70-80 8Channel, 110-125 for 16Channel
I love the Raspberry PI, it's an excellent device. Now It could be kind of interesting for making a small mobile recorder with solid state recording.
$60 would buy you a low end Hybrid with 16 Channel AHD, and 8IP (frame rate limited, and bitrate maxed). Prices in 2017 have eroded from many factories. See race to the bottom on main page!
Maybe soon we have the Year End sales from H & D companies, and or their distributors! Chinese year end is End of Jan so it's an all out let's keep investors happy with our fake figures and long draw out speeches about AI investment.
I don't expect a Longse sale, seems they are like Macys always a deal to be had! (and we know how well they are doing)
