Re: IP based Security Solutions

[Dan Oachs <doachs () GAC EDU>]

We have used the Bosch system for a few cameras on our campus and
decided that we really don't like it.  The cameras are ok but the main
problem is the Bosch software.  Accessing the cameras from anything
other than IE with just the right Java version usually results in the
page not working.  The admin software ( at least the older version we
had ) you needed a specific version of Java which is almost impossible
to get and install now.

We have since moved on to Axis cameras ( and analog to ip converters )
and are still evaluating the best software for managing them.  On their
own the Axis cameras are very nice and extremely flexible.
