This is IP based and you can attach USB disk storage.

Anyone have expereince with this? It's a GE product and going for
about $799 for 4 channels. It uses MPEG-4 which it states is for small
applications. I plan to purchase 2 IP cameras and use 1 existing
analog camera.

I went through two of these one one site. Both failed within a couple
months. GE support was almost impossible to reach and of practically no
help either time.

They don't support IP cameras, either.

Don't walk away... run.

Thanks. Any thoughts on an IP camera solution for two cameras? Axis
offers software that can be loaded onto a PC to handle this for a
small site.
