We have a large machine at my work and we would like to place 4 cameras around it to allow the operator to view certain areas when another operator is performing maintenance, or when product gets jammed in the machine. We do not need recording ability per se, but mainly the ability to view all 4 cameras at the same time on a single LCD screen/monitor. I was hoping to use POE IP cameras with a POE switch that is either connected to our main network, or simply connected to the computer with camera software installed. What would you guys suggest as the best solution and stay within $700? Thank you so much. Tom

If I picked up 4 of these $99 cameras http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881102034 and then a sub-$200 Netgear POE switch, is there free software for monitoring those 4 IP POE Cameras?
