Jul 01, 2013Via VPN, but the YCAM was local and onsite. The worldcams were an available, built in, option in Xeoma.

Jul 03, 2013Luxriot is cheaper and has pro features like search, federation, ad integration, video analitics ..

Jul 03, 2013Luxriot is cheaper????
Luxriot is certainly better overall, but it's nowhere close to as inexpensive as Xeoma is.
Comparison
Luxriot 4 channels ~$269, Xeoma 4 channels - $59.95
Luxriot 9 channels ~$449, Xeoma 9 channels - $139.90
Luxriot 16 channels ~$539, Xeoma 16 channels - $199.95
Luxriot 'Unlimited' per Server ~$1400, Xeoma 256 channels - $1119.95

Jul 03, 2013Well it is cheaper if you have more than 500 cameras like me, plus the value cost relation is better when buying luxriot unlimited, if you have fewer cameras xeoma is cheaper but i still question if its worth it since you can jump to luxriot just for a bit more.

Jul 03, 2013You have 500 cameras on a single server? Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Luxriot Enterprise covers cameras on a single machine, i.e., if you have 5 machines with 100 cameras each, you buy 5 Enterprise licenses?
Either way, using Xeoma for more than a few dozen cameras would be crazy, as they lack the features needed for larger scale management so even if you could save a few dollars in product cost, it would be a bad idea.

Jul 03, 2013Yes. The way I understand it is although Enterprise offers unlimited channels and clients it is PER server. So if you get 500 cameras per server than you only pay one Enterprise fee of $1349 - about ~$2.70 a channel.
However, if you have 5 servers to split those 500 cameras, you would need to pay the Enterprise fee 5 times thus increasing your per channel cost to ~$14.00 per channel.

Jul 03, 2013You are completely correct, in my case i have 500 in just one server. :)

Jul 03, 2013Daniel, would you elaborate on the setup? Type of cameras and settings, server, number of users...how long has this one server been in operation?
Marty Major
Jul 03, 2013Cray XC30 might do it...

Sarit Williams
Jul 03, 2013Ha! So expensive it requires a quote request, found out it's 500K...Thanks Marty! So where were we with trying to calculate cost savings on channels?
So say you spent 500K for this server and loaded 500 channels with Enterprise version..all in all it'll cost you ~$1000 per channel???
Marty Major
Jul 03, 2013Well, in fairness, Cray has a $25K model too - the CX1 (runs a special version of Windows too!)
I was really just being facetious, indicating my doubts about the 500 cams on 1 box comment. :)

Jul 09, 2013If you can put 500 hundered cameras on one server I would be very very surprised, the data throughput requirement would be outragous, even if the cameras are recording at a low image quality
