No. iOmniscient products are OPEN. They can run on any standard PC with the correct operating system.

Note however, that most commercially available computers are optimized for use in data processing or for office type applications. They will run iOmniscient software but may not provide the best performance. Further they may not have the necessary internal components for real time applications (eg connections for the right type of frame grabber cards, graphic cards, etc.)).

For this reason iOmniscient has established a close alliance with organizations such as AnalyticsReady who build computers that are optimized for video analysis. We would recommend that you purchase your computers from a specialist supplier like that rather than from a general purpose supplier. These systems will perform better and be more cost effective overall.
