In addition, the distribution supports Nanny Cam via Raspberry Pi Camera, allows users to share their content, in any format, from their computers to SMB, HTTP, NFS, FTP or USB, it is 100% compatible with the standard Debian software repositories, so you will be able to install any package with a few mouse clicks, and it is secure out-of-the-box (by default, the built-in firewall restricts the network only to LAN).
