The CPU util difference meant that my D630 was not revving cpu fan like mad. I should have done it on BusterDog - with and without nVidia driverĪlso, after installing nvidia, I downloaded a later Xeoma (they release newer, 15 days later after last one).Īnyway, for me, I can use this Xeoma with BusterDog/nvidia as another available option. Linux Mint 21 is released.There are some performance improvements and several new features in Mint 21. It comes with LibreOffice 7.3.7 for office productivity, Firefox. Just what came to my mind at the time.Įq. Undoubtedly, Linux Mint is one of the best Linux distributions for beginners.It is easy to use, doesn’t consume lots of system resources and has tons of software available. Linux Mint 21.1 is a comprehensive desktop operating system that includes everything you need for home and office work. Linux Mint 21.1 'Vera' Cinnamon Edition Look and feel Linux Mint 21.1 was given a fresh look and feel. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable. It turned out the CPU utils were significantly different with nVidia driver installed. New Features Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon Linux Mint 21.1 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2027. Only upto BusterDog, nVidia driver is available for my D630. No motion detection, no recording, no sound, etc. I disabled ALL modules, except viewing cameras. I thought, what if I tested using BusterDog (w nvidia).ĭell D630, T8300 (2.4GHz), 4GB RAM, 240GB SSD, with nVidia Quadro NVS 135M. CPU utils was just marginally lower than Zoneminder.īut today, just before I wrote this report. I almost concluded that it's the same as zoneminder, i.e. That's how I found out the neighbour's cat was eyeing my fish in the pond almost everynight! Zoneminder is not suitable to use for the simple viewing task, CPU utils was high, whether I used it for simple viewing or more complex task, marginal difference. I used Zoneminder for more 'complex' task. I am not keen to learn new camera software. It is probably capable of doing more.a lot more than what I explored. I was looking at Xeoma just to do the minimal, ie. In term of booting/installation time, I have not found anything that take less time than puppies/dogs (for my HW collection, of course). Although when I install Windows, I cut all the bloat to bare bone using MSMG Toolkit. The second was using manufacturer's software. It was not what VLC is designed for anyway - so can't blame the software. When you have more than one camera to view, it's inconvenient, due to the lack of preset layout. The least CPU consuming way was to use VLC. Being old laptops, I have to find ways that do not require a lot of CPU power. You can save even more by using dvr software Xeoma on a free operating system. In addition to the NVR console, I'd like to be able to view from any location in the house. Major desktop Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora or Linux Mint, get. I was looking for options/substitutes for ways to view my security cameras. I thought to report what I have done since I got Xeoma working.Īt the very least, as a mark of gratitude to and who have assisted me many times.
