6.0 - 6.1 - As a whole this project has two major hardware components: A server and a micro-computer. The server was used to represent what someone could do in terms of scalability and market place capabilities. The server we decided to use is an industry standard HP G7 Proliant Series but in the end any user could install the drivers and software on a machine that can handle the software’s system requirements. That being said, our system can be ported on to many different platforms thus making it a highly versatile solution both for the market and home use. The second hardware component, the raspberry pi micro-computer, is used to manage the commands needed to make this security system functional. Due to advances in technology, this little piece of hardware can do magnificent things at a very appealing price point thus making it an option for many different users. Our operating system of choice is the stock Raspbian Linux. The capabilities of this board, and the support community are what make this particular microcomputer ideal for this project. 6.1.1 - This computer system is used to store all files except the base drivers and required programs which are needed to create functionality of the recording device on the raspberry pi. That being said the server also provides essential services to the network which in turn make our project considerably more scalable for the addition of more all of which would store their files over the network on the server to eliminate the need for storage on each device. Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard Model: Proliant G385 G7 Server CPU: 2x AMD Opteron™ Processor 6234 Memory: 16GB HDD: 6 @ 300GB = 1.8 TB Figure 6.1.2 – The bulk of this project revolves around the effective use of a micro-computer to achieve functionality outside the realm of a typical low cost surveillance system. Thankfully the Raspberry Pi provides this additional functionality at a low price point. We decided to use Raspberry Pi version B with an increased RAM count of 512 MB. The full tech specs are as follows: Manufacturer: Raspberry Pi Model Revision 2
