    Help sought in selecting standalone NVR

    BTW, I did try the "Axxon Smart". It crashed frequently and was very slow, and I could not ever get it to work properly. It was complicated to use and very frustrating. The Xprotect Go was a huge improvement.

    Thanks for the recommendation for "Milestone Xprotect Go". Great product, really happy with free version. I can't find out how much the upgrade to "Essentials" is easily (so that I can keep more than 5 days of recordings). Also have the following problem: http://forum.milestonesys.com/yaf_postst321_Upgrading-from--go---and-strange-dialog-box.aspx

    Help sought in selecting standalone NVR

    Thanks for the link! Looks like a great system, but at $3000 for the system I'd require, a bit more than I want to spend. I might go with the free software Axxon Smart, if it works for me, and just use my PC as the NVR...
  4. Not sure if this is the correct location or not for this type of post, but here goes. I currently have an all-Sony solution consisting of an NSR-S10/1T NVR, and four SNCDH280 (1080p IP cameras). The Sony DVR leaves a lot to be desired, and I was wondering whether there were some good upgrade options available to use existing infrastructure. (Incidentally, the Sony DVR was recently updated to the latest firmware, and as a result it seems to have changed/deleted the admin accounts as only the user/user account works now. I can't find a way to reset the password -- anyone know?) So, anyway here's my wishlist: * Quiet, small (not too much bigger than the NSR-S10) as it will be put in enclosed network box in my son's bedroom. * Support my existing four cameras (no intention of expanding past four) * Provide two NICs (pref gigabit) -- one for camera network, one for local network. * (Nice-to-have) Configurable entirely via LAN/HTTP, so that it does not require USB mouse/keyboard/monitor. * iPhone support so that it can push video snippets based on motion detectors. * Prefer to have 1080p support at a reasonable frame rate. * 500 or 1000 GB HD storage * Compatible with standard browsers without installing software, or be otherwise compatible with both Windows and Mac OS. Does such a unit even exist? Would love to know what options there are to consider.
