I LOVE this list. :)

JUST this morning (no lie) a client called me and asked "Can you quote
us for a multi-PoE-IP-camera-DVR solution that runs on Linux"

I said... "Hmmmm, I will have to see what is available."

And then this thread (albeit pretty off-topic) appears in the m0n0wall
list.

Zone Minder looks like exactly what I need! Thanks!

:)
