Re: HA cameras

For me there were a few:
- I already had quite a few bits for the PC
- Geovision software is 'feature rich' and has been rock solid since I
started my setup last October (havn't had to restart the PC once - is this
a
record for Windows??)
- Easy access when away from home (not saying you cannot do this with a
DVR,
but I knew how to do it with my setup). Also access via a PPC around the
house and anywhere that I can find wifi access.

I guess I just felt more 'comfortable' with a PC setup - and as I havn't
needed to change anything it has been ultra reliable -:)

What are the benefits of going the Geovision route as compared to the
current generation of network enabled CCTV DVR's (e.g.
http://www.digitaldirectsecurity.co.uk/
-> digital video recorders ->
standalone dvr, http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/dvr.htm#830c
etc. )
