Thanks, Brian.
Am I understanding this right, that the free version doesn't monitor individual cameras or even channels? How much more is that?
Is there any real security integration or monitoring going on, or just the VMS/Access Control processes (Which I'm guessing you have to tell it anyway)?

We use Viakoo now... have been for a while.

The biggest obstacle, hurdle, mountain to climb as always is IT. We have it installed on alot of our customers, but not all. It's been effective in some instances, telling us where the problem has originated vs the standard health check "Oh, there is a problem".
For IP cameras its actually very good. The larger obstacle is other security devices. Access Control systems, are painfully behind in the network world.

We tested the full version of Viakoo but it did not work for us. Wouldn't find many networking devices and strangely you couldn't manually enter any. The video stream monitor only works with certain VMS'. They tried to make it too simple and ended up making it too limited.

U2 same issue with us. Too limited as we couldn't monitor UPS, SAN and wireless links. Just didn't make sense to have two different monitoring platforms
