Which cameras? Not all software packages support all cameras well. Want to run all 20 on a single computer? Some packages take more CPU cycles per camera, especially if the computer has to do all of the motion detection.

If you want "free" soft, use Zoneminder

Another, with no update fee and lots o cameras support - Digifort.

But, be carful, Digifort use motion detection at server side with most cameras.

Milestone XProtect is one product that supports a very wide assortment of cameras and is highly regarded. Luxriot, Exacqivision, NUUO are others. Download them, see if they a) work with all your cameras, b) has the features you need, c) determine the size server you'll need. If these are megapixel cameras, make sure you have the netwok design that will support that.
