Flir is licensing a product from BriefCam. You can add Briefcam to most major VMS solutions as another service for additional costs (license per camera) or you can use Briefcam to sift through exported video. Think police departments that are given a lot of video from an event. They can feed AVI files into Briefcam.

OK thanks. But I can't purchase a copy or license as an individual?

Is anything like this available for non Flir systems? I had a chance to give one of their cameras a whirl this past week and their Rapid Recap software is really incredible. Does this exist in the non Flir world?

Looks like a winner. Thanks. Is there any sense in upgrading to the POE + version? What about Giga (1000Mbps) over Mega (100Mbps)?

Any advice on buying a POE switch?

The camera will not power from the router..you need a poe injector or a poe switch...or you can use a 12v 1a, power adapter.

OK. I'm a noob. And feel pretty dumb now. Thank you for your quick response. I can stop trying every port and cable that I can find.

I decided to get my feet wet with a desk mounted Hikvision (http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=2236) before venturing into outfitting the rest of the house. I took it out of the box and plugged an ethernet connection in to it and....nothing. No lights, nothing. I tried different cables, different router, etc. It should get power directly from a router port correct? No POE Injector wall plug is required right? Am I missing something? Because this is the very first experience with any camera really, I have zero clue what I'm doing except the little that I've learned here on this forum. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Is this what I should be wiring with now?

I linked to it from the Hikvision front page.
