Those are cheap D-Link and one Trendnet camera. They are all IP cams,
you can use analogue cameras but you will have to get a frame grabber
board. The IP cams demand a bit more in processor but for a couple of
cams you can probably get away with a 1.5Ghz processor without problems
The best thing is to search the forums and read the documentation on it.
I am doing system installations with it, the nice thing is you are not tied
down
to a DVR box that is a dead end device, If I sell a DVR with say 8 ports on
it
and in a few months the customer decides they need 10 cams, I have to sell
them a new DVR in order to do the 10 cams, with ZM, I can just add the
cams most likely, or I may have to upgrade the mother board or just the pro-
cessor. I try to sell the client a machine that has enough horsepower so
that
if they need to add a few more cams we do not need to do any work to the
server. The machine that you viewed has 6 cameras on it, the loading is only
about 0.5, it is a dual core so I can allow the loading to go all the way up
to
2.0 before I have to start worrying.
