If you are using one camera the Axis Station One software is free to
download I believe.

Never-the-less consider me a complete fool and pay no attention to anything
I say. However if you'd like to read about it instead you may want to
consider what others in the industry say with their money and time. Compare
the number of different companies (not small mom and pop companies, but HUGE
ones) that have hitched their wagon to Axis. Here is the page (below). Go
take a look see.

Now take a peek at the Panasonic site. I don't believe you'll see anything
like that there.
Perhaps that's something to consider. It is easy to assume that a company
with a good consumer brand name would beat all competitors, especially ones
you've never heard of. You may wish to rethink all of this.
