Hi, Shawn,

I use an appliance from Smartvue - the Smartvue S9. They have a very small version - the S9i - now that has 128GB of SSD for ~$700 that will handle 10 cameras.

I have been running the S9 version for a little over a year with only a few issues. It's been very reliable and easy to use. It actually runs Fedora under the hood!
Interesting - MSRP, $300, but that does not appear to include any cameras, and if it only takes IP cameras, that's another $100 a pop, each.... Right on the edge of the budget.
So, can you ssh into it, or rsync files, or even wget the files down for long-term storage? Does it require IE to control?
