[Leaplist] Linux configurable ip surveillance camera systems

[Dan Cherry]

Anybody have any experience with ip based surveillance systems?

D-Link has some reasonably priced hardware, but the initial set up is 
through Windows.

Also, has anyone any thoughts on Linux accessible surveillance dvr's 
(vs. feeding IP camera output directly to a PC for storage)?

I'm considering 4 cameras with a dvr expandable to 8 cameras.

Finally, should I just fall back to older analog cameras that feed into 
a DVR that is IP accessible?  That seems like the best bang for the 
buck, but the least flexible.  Hmmm, come to think of it, how much 
flexibility do you need in a video surveillance system?

Any thoughts on the subject would be welcome,
Thanks,
Dan
