subject: open platforms vrs closed ones
Looking to buy my first NVR and set of cameras, for home security type usage.
I'm actually a software engineer and can sort through the various product features but one area I could use some advice onis which systems are more 'opensource' vrs closed platforms?
Simply put, I do a bunch of work under linux and would love to buy something which allows me to talk to the NVR and other parts, either via a well established REST API, or RPC, or what not.
Simply put which systems would you avoid, which are closed and which are good at truly being open platforms?
