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.
Not sure if this makes the "unix hackery" cut, but it's quite good:

Once installed, ZoneMinder is pretty painless in terms of admin through it's
web interface. I have a few of these systems set up with analog/IP cameras that
have been running for years without problem other than external things like
dying cameras or flaky cabling.
Thanks for that link. ZoneMinder is definitely looking in the right direction. This looks
good in the "might use it for my house" sense, which is an upcoming project :)
I don't see anything about handling display of this many cameras simultaneously at the
security consoles. In fact, their forums are full of people unable to get the remote
displays working.
I did see that someone got it working for 58 cameras though so that bids well.
I would just need to work out how to make them all display somewhere seamlessly.
Our company uses NetGuard EVS which is Windows based, but not bad. It's
usable and shows all cameras on the screen and let's you select one,
control them (where applicable), etc.
