They need to be powered where there is ethernet. This makes it hard for areas outside in larger fields and such (that are not tied to that). But for a hard-wired business, that wants to do away from home run copper back to the on-prem box, this is a great alternative.

We looked at Meraki/Cisco cameras, as well as various on-prem servers. Nothing really stacked up when it came to features, cost, and ease of use. Meraki/Cisco came the closest but the licensing was not ideal.

  • It was initially cheaper to get the system install.
  • Time savings for myself has paid over ten times it's worth.
  • All positive ROI.
