I'm putting together a small security system for a local business here in Columbus Oh. I decided to go with the idea of using IP cameras and POE, just for the simplicity over a traditional surveillance system. (I do have a bit of experience in traditional systems, the IP systems are quite new to me)
So far, I have a few Axis 211 camera, maybe looking for a cheap camera to monitor the room that will house the PC, and in the future I might add a PTZ. The total amount of cameras currently would be 3~4, 5 in the future.
So now it comes down to what software to use. Before starting this project I checked out a few different software packages that I could demo, and came to the conclusion that Luxriot could do what I needed and kept me within budget.
While trying to solve other issues, I came across people talking about Exacq software, and it seemed people often times liked it over Luxriot software. Also liked the idea of integrated video overlay for POS, but not required.
How do you go about getting a demo of ExacqVision?
Their web page says that there is a demo version (can't seem to find it anywhere) and that authorized dealers can get a fully functional 4 channel copy for no charge ($600 value).
My next question in that line, is how much does it cost. Looking for 4 camera solution with ability to expand in the future. $600 seems a bit high, but then again, that value is probably talked up.
Any help or info - even just about the software, would be greatly appreciated. As well as other software recommendations.
Thanks,
Damien
