Ivideon Server for Linux

Want to turn your Linux computer into a video surveillance server? No problem. Ivideon Server for Linux has the same features offered by Ivideon Server for Windows and Mac OS X.

We officially support

• Actual versions of Linux Ubuntu LTS (16.04/18.04/20.04)
• Debian (9/10)

Ivideon Server can be installed on other Linux distributions, though we don’t guarantee that it will work perfectly.

Minimal system requirements

• CPU: Intel® Atom™ Processor
• RAM: 1 Gb
• HDD: 500 MB + 11 GB per day for the video archive from one camera without a motion detector (bitrate below 1 Mbit)

Please note that Ivideon Server for Linux is intended to be run in a graphical desktop environment. The current version doesn’t support configuration over a LAN yet, though we’ll certainly add this feature in the future—keep an eye out for updates.
