BluecherryDVR.com Gets a Facelift Just in Time for Launch of v2.0 Beta

January 11, 2011

The New BluecherryDVR.com site prominently displays software system features and visuals

Bluecherry was looking for developers to help with building v2.0 of their impressive DVR based video security system when Delta Systems tripped across their job opening at indeed.com.  After an initial query asking if they needed any development help in the interim, before they found the right full-time employee, the discussion quickly gravitated to the need for a new website design and functionality improvements.

BluecherryDVR.com has an OS Detection Feature To Save Users a Step During Download

Need some temp help programming? Nope, but we need website improvements

Sure, Curtis Hall, Bluecherry’s owner, and his guys could have made the updates to the site themselves. However, they felt it was time for a more consistent and professional look to the myriad of sections they have on their website. They were, after all, looking for more developers – so no one had time to update the website.

Delta Systems designed, cut, and implemented a WordPress template. They then turned to improving the eCommerce and SEO components of the site.

The cherry on top (sic) was the operating system detection feature that automagically figures out what operating system you are on and selects it from the list of platforms on which the software is designed to run.

About Bluecherry

Bluecherry  began 2004 with a goal of providing high quality Linux supported video capture cards.Bluecherry’s original product line was focused on software compression cards using the generic ‘bttv’ Linux kernel module.  In 2010 Bluecherry released its free (GPL) driver for its line of MPEG-4 (hardware compression) line of audio video capture cards.

Bluecherry also develops a commercial surveillance application under the name ‘Bluecherry’.  This software is an Ubuntu based application that records audio and video and includes many features you would typically only find in commercialized Windows applications.  Bluecherry is actively working on version 2 of its software which will support several major new features such as a cross platform client interface, network (IP) camera support, and improved optimization for the server backend.

December 17, 2010

The RMI Center for Wine Economics was having an issue with their website and content management system.

There is still work to be done in implementing a more advanced content management system to better suit their needs, but the Mondavi Institute is pleased to be back online. Delta Systems is also pleased to be trusted to host a University of California – Davis website.
