This probably isn't something that most LOPSA people play with, but if you do 
I'm curious what you think. One of my customers has some aging March DVR units. 
Good, high-quality video from both cabled and IP cameras. Something like 60 
cameras across 2 sites total. At the time I looked (5-6 years ago), nothing 
compared to March in terms of quality/price for that density.

Has anything else sprung up or that I overlooked on my previous review which we 
should consider?  Note that solutions which depend entirely on unix hackery are 
not really an option.  The staff who will maintain this are good noc/operations 
stock -- in the old-world "operations" sense, not in the "systems/network 
engineering" sense I keep seeing on recent job advertisements. Integration with 
Unix/Linux is awesome, a black box product which boots Linux/*BSD kernel is 
fine, but the "black box" part is fairly crucial.

Cameras already exist, we're just looking at the concentrator/storage options.
