I am planning to view only one of the cams from the HAI Omnitouch 5.7e (For when the doorbell rings), to get a quick view of who is at the door. As far as a more in-depth look at events or recordings, or changing the DVR configuration, I plan to do that from a regular PC running Windows 7. We recently had a burglary in our neighborhood, so the ability to record the streams is high on my list now.
