    Help with new system design

    Hi, I'm a technology consultant for a small company that wants a security system. I know PC's, Mac's and networking, but this is my first foray into the security world. I think I've got a grasp on what I need, it's just a matter of trying to figure out what brands and items would work the best. Basically, I know that the client wants a PC-based solution, because I'll be building them a PC. There will be 2 cameras, and my budget is probably under $1000 (including the PC). Here's the requirements I have: 1) Support for 2 cameras 2) Must be able to use web client on Mac under Safari or Firefox (no ActiveX controls) 3) Must support motion-triggered recording. I started by looking at DVR cards, but I was having trouble finding one with a web client that would work under Mac. Now, after looking around, I think IP may be the way to go. Can anyone recommend either an IP camera and software combo that would work for this application, or a DVR card that would work? Thanks for the help!

    I apparently can't send PM's yet. Looks like we may have the cameras, can I buy just the software off of you?

    @hardwired- That looks like exactly what we need. How much does it run? I know the Video Insight software is about $500 for two cameras, is the Exacq software any cheaper?

    Yah, we can open ports. How much does the Video Insight card and IP software cost? I called and talked to VI, but it seems their stuff was pretty pricey. Any other IP software options that are any good (and preferably cheap)?
