RaspberryPi with DW
Answered
I know this is NX, but after many days with DW support to no avail I've come to the source. In short, we are licensed with digital watchdog spectrum and would like to run a small scale server using a raspberry pi. Obviously this is possible and supported given the posts and guides provided by NX. However, my licensing is with DW - who does not offer the same support. Is there a way to bridge the two or some other avenue I can explore so I am not double paying for the same service?

You can download the latest RPI ARM package for DW Spectrum HERE.
Some applicable support articles:
- ARM Support Article
- ARM Single Board Computer (SBC) Support & Installation Instructions and similar VIDEO.
- Building Linux-based NVRs
Support is limited, since we expect people to be proficient with Linux.
That being said, we do not recommend using an RPI in a production environment since the SD card will be a risk that might cause the system to crash permanently when it gets corrupted, and eventually it will.
People using the RPI or other SBC move all IOPS so SSD or HDD storage which they connect to the RPI.
Also, merging an ARM SBC into a larger system most likely will be a bottleneck for synchronization among the servers in the hive. In general, they are used with 1 or 2 servers in a system.
When people are looking for an affordable solution, there are quite some passively cooled x64 systems with quad-core Celeron CPU, 4 GB RAM that are probably a better and more affordable solution.

We have an SBC with up to 1TB of wd purple sdcard storage that runs any powered by Nx system. arm64. Easy to plug and play hive servers. Contact me at mdelsalto@hudsonsecurityinc.com if you're interested in the SBC.
