I doubt you could run both on the same physical machine (ie "metal"). However if you virtualized a Windows machine on the computer, you should be able to run a second instance of BI on that virtual machine. However that doesn't "solve" the problem of viewing all of the cameras on one interface. As far as I know, there is no way to do this the way you are thinking.
Here is what I would suggest. Run two machines at their respective locations (home machine at home and office machine at the office). If you want to view the office cameras at home, you can set up a VPN tunnel and duplicate the office cameras on your BI machine. I would suggest that you don't record these cameras on your home BI, but only have them for display purposes. This way if the internet connection at either location goes down the local BI is still able to record all the footage for the respective local cameras, but obviously you will loose the ability to "see" the office cameras at home in this situation. Of course this will cause a decent amount of traffic to flow between the two locations, so depending on how many cameras we are talking about, you better have a decent internet connection at each location - especially a fast "outgoing" speed at the office location .
