Re: Fushion DVR

[Ned <nedhart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I googled Fusion DVR from Honeywell. From what I have read, it appears
to run a Windows O/S. I think this is fine for browsing the Internet
but I am surprised it is being used for security applications
considering the less than stellar reputaion for stability and security
of the MS Windows O/S.  Do these Fusion DVRs have an established
customer base and good track record?

thanks
