What else do u want to know? I chatted with AVIGILON tech support and they indicated that one can record directly to a network drive w/o the use of their software. I understand this does not allow me to take full functionality of the camera but certain settings can be configured via the camera's own web GUI interface? The reason I am asking if it is possible to record w/o AVIGILON software is because I already have a very powerful server at home and do not want another dedicated CCTV monitor PC. just about all cameras allow recording of triggered events(motion\tamperring etc etc)to a nas without separate software so i would imagine these can too

if youre looking for a low cost wireless ip cam with audio the dlink hp ptz has great picture etc...avail at retail stores for 169

say you have a mounting point that is 5 stories high and you want to catch the ground floor from there....optical zoom would essentially make it look like it was mounted just a story or 2 high and people wouldnt look like ants
