Geovision.  Winblows based, and really flaky to setup for networking.
Basically an open internet video server with crude PW protection.  Yuck.
Stability is mediocre, and they play feature and add-on price games with the
client.  Also, watch out for illegal clones and software pirates selling
these or similar through the grey market.

I have played with setup on three of these.  Tech support was ok.
