Hardware to run Nx Witness
Completed
Hi all,
I am just wondering if anybody has managed to install Nx Witness on other hardware i.e. HikVision NVR or Ubiquiti Unifi NAS.
Thanks

Hi Guy
Nx Witness needs an underlying OS, be it Windows or Ubuntu.
As far as I know, you cannot install Ubuntu server onto HikVision NVR nor Unifi NAS (the later would be such a sexy Nx Server I agree)
You can use Unifi NAS as an external storage you could mount to mini pc running Windows/Ubuntu and launch Nx Server on top.
I too would love to see affordable rackmount candidate (I sense that's what you're looking for too), so far my quest has lead me to Terramaster U series. U4-423 and U4-500 for instance. The external PSU is a no-go for high end customers though.
When looking around I also found out QNAP has recently been listed as a Network Optix' technology partner. If QNAP allows sideloading a regular OS on their hardware I'd consider it for 50-100 cams servers.

I believe you can run NX Witness on Milesight cameras (only some specific types). But I've never seen it on a Dahua or Hikvision camera.
Like already said, you can run it on Ubuntu or another Linux distro (arm types), Raspberry Pi, …0 -
Milesight is sending me a camera to test with embedded Nx running on it. iPRO is also sending me a camera to test running Nx on it.

Sounds very interesting!
Would you mind sharing iPro camera reference number?

Tecneo my understanding is that it is any camera that can run the AI analytics Apps
