G'day, I'm currently upgrading the security system of our farm, currently there is a 4xbt878a capture card with analog cameras & i want to migrate to all IP cameras. I am not worried about hybrid systems as I am not happy with the analog quality. We have been broken into once and only have a very fuzzy picture of the guy stealing everything. I want to switch to an all IP system with a minimum of 1.3mp cameras (1x indoor dome, 3x outdoor cameras with room to expand) with a dedicated windows computer as a recording server (I will switch to linux+zoneminder if it means I can mix up brands to get a cheaper system) I am open to suggestions on camera/software brands & have been researching geovision but the licensing confuses the hell out of me I had some questions on GeoVision IP cameras, does the NVR software come with their IP cameras or do i have to buy it separately? I am looking at vivotek too but their ~2mp cameras look very expensive here in Australia ($6-700AUD+). I am budgeting around $4-500AUD per camera Regards, Phill
