I set up Xeoma as it works on all OS's and has PTZ control..

Chinese ebay specials... outdoor PTZ 1080p with PoE built in. Roughly $150 each.  I don't have (or haven't figured out) PTZ control through Xprotect, so I just web into the specific camera if I need to change PTZ related.

And yes, Xprotect free for up to 8 cameras.  Even works with Wyze cams with the RTSP firmware.

    for my small implementation. Only have five cameras, and doing
    either RTSP or ONVIF to get the stream.

        I only got it because it was dirt cheap and you can stream it
        locally without all the cloud BS.

                I'm not against blue Iris, it's just been probably
                10 years since I last used it.  Back then you had
                to have a plugin for IE to do live view.  I'm
                guessing that's changed now to HTML5?  How is the
                live viewing.  Is it the 'jerky' live view, or
                smooth live view?

                BI is certainly superior in terms of software, but
                NVR is simpler and cheaper to maintain then a full

                                    Systems

                                    I haven't put any new
                                    cameras in for a couple
                                    years.  Last one's I did
                                    were Unifi Protect.  And
                                    although it is still
                                    running, the software
                                    seems to be just as buggy as
                                    it was all those years ago,
                                    and for the
                                    features, the cameras are
                                    pretty expensive. Are there
                                    any other low
                                    cost turnkey camera
                                    solutions out there?  I
                                    could do like a Zoneminder
                                    or BlueIris, but I'm lazy in
                                    my old age and was looking
                                    for something
                                    more plug and play.    I'm
                                    intrigued by the Blink or
                                    Nest cameras, but
                                    it looks like their only
                                    options are WIFI cameras,
                                    and I'd really like
                                    something POE.

                                    I'm looking to put 2-3
                                    cameras at tower sites, so I
                                    can go back and look
                                    at recordings to see if
                                    anyone has been there, or
                                    pull them up to with
                                    live view to see what the
                                    weather is like at the site.
