Axis Communications – Axis 2100 technical overview
The Axis 2100 is based on the Linux operating system. This in order to ensure maximum reliability and ease of use. Some of the benefits are:
* Well-known and well-documented OS
* Small footprint system, it does not take a lot of flash or ram memory.
* Longer term decentralized development.
* Much, much functionality available for “free”.
* The source code for Linux is freely available to everyone.
* Developed under the GNU General Public License. This means we publish our contribution to the Linux community on our website developer.axis.com
* And much more….
Interesting that these guys say Linux is well known and well documented (hmm, I guess that’s true if you’re conversant in C), while the CIOs in the grocery business (see a couple of entries back) think it’s too “bleeding edge.”
This camera looks interesting: if I had a use for it, I’d get one. I’m working on finding a use for one . ..
