We just deployed about 40 Axis cameras at one of our facilities (both indoor and outdoor). You want to make sure that you have enought space if you are keeping the video (in just under 3 months we used 1.3Tb at 8fps). Since we have the drive cage max'd out on the server, we added a Drobo with an additional Tb of storage for archiving. You also want to make sure that you have plenty of bandwidth going to the recording/monitoring server. We kept dropping packets on our 10/100 switches, but eliminated it by putting a 48 port gigabit switch in.

I do have an external web server that we may or may not use.

They are also intended for outside use at least that is what their sales engineer told me. I need inside camera's. Thanks for the dlink warning. What about TrendNet camera's are they pretty good? I am looking at the IP201 and IP400 ones they look promising and are within my price range.
