![]() ![]() I have looked at Blue Iris, iSpy, Motion Eye, ZoneMinder, Shinobi, Milestone xProtect, Bluecherry, and some others. If Linux is not your preference, dont worry - they offer Microsoft Windows as an option too. I do not recommend having anything else running on this server, it should be dedicated to this use. Assure your system is installed and up to date first. I recommend a server installation without GUI. The installation will be done on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, and I will show you how to install Xeoma step by step. In summary, I'm very impressed with how smooth the Deepin installation and usage has been here.This is a brief review of Xeoma from FelenaSoft, in addition to an installation guide. That is a minor detail that I might not even bother with. The only thing I still need to do to make it look 100 percent is install some missing fonts. My REAPER theme works perfectly on this Linux install. It is very smooth and trouble free so far. It is also running as a Xeoma server so I can monitor the security camera setup via the Xeoma client on my phone or any other computer running the client and connected to my network. This system has now been running 24/7 for a couple of weeks with no problems at all. ![]() I can use the mute and volume keys on the keyboard to mute the camera alarm sounds at night while REAPER continues unmuted through the DAC regardless of the mute settings from the keyboard. I'm running REAPER and the DAC under the ALSA drivers and it is rock solid.Īnother bonus of this configuration is that the Xeoma software uses the internal laptop speakers for its alarm sounds while REAPER runs through the DAC at the same time. I then plugged in my portable USB DAC and Deepin and REAPER both recognized it without fuss. Next up was to add a portable install of REAPER to Deepin and that was simple with no issues. In a comparison between Win7 and Deepin, it runs significantly smoother and slightly lower in CPU use under Deepin which I am happy about. I then installed and configured the Xeoma NVR software on both Deepin and Win7 and it worked flawlessly with my existing camera system on both OS's. I then disabled its dynamic adjustments and set it up with a manual gamma and level profile which works well and produced a nice, balanced colour profile on this laptop. I discovered Redshift for Linux and installed it. The only thing missing was a display calibration utility and the display on this laptop has a blue bias which I was able to effectively fix with the Win7 calibration tools. Every piece of hardware worked on this laptop right from the start which was a very welcome surprise! Much to my delight, I didn't have to download anything to get things running. Upon completion, I was greeted with a boot menu and let it boot into Deepin. I resized the existing partitions and created a new one for Deepin and ran the installer. ![]() Well, the first thing was to install Deepin as a dual boot setup with my currently working Win7 install. This laptop is also my bedroom media player and I've been running REAPER on it with a project that has a number of environment sounds looped at different lengths as a sleep aid to mask out outside noises and help me sleep uninterrupted. I had also found a very nice security camera NVR program called Xeoma which is compatible with OSX, Windows and Linux and is streets ahead of what I had been using, so I decided to give it a shot and compare it on the same laptop with both Win7 and Deepin. It got a big thumbs up for ease of installation and use so I decided to download the distro and test it out on my security camera laptop. A couple of weeks ago, I read a post on another part of the interwebs about Deepin.
