OK thanks. But I can't purchase a copy or license as an individual?

Is anything like this available for non Flir systems? I had a chance to give one of their cameras a whirl this past week and their Rapid Recap software is really incredible. Does this exist in the non Flir world?

Is this what I should be wiring with now?

I decided to get my feet wet with a desk mounted Hikvision (http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=2236) before venturing into outfitting the rest of the house. I took it out of the box and plugged an ethernet connection in to it and....nothing. No lights, nothing. I tried different cables, different router, etc. It should get power directly from a router port correct? No POE Injector wall plug is required right? Am I missing something? Because this is the very first experience with any camera really, I have zero clue what I'm doing except the little that I've learned here on this forum. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Looks like a winner. Thanks. Is there any sense in upgrading to the POE + version? What about Giga (1000Mbps) over Mega (100Mbps)?

Any advice on buying a POE switch?

OK. I'm a noob. And feel pretty dumb now. Thank you for your quick response. I can stop trying every port and cable that I can find.
