Re: Can we use a different camera?

I hope that the answer is that other cameras are allowed. The Axis 206 camera has been replaced by the 207. You can still find the 206 for sale some places, but will eventually disappear.

The Axis cameras are expensive, for what they are, as well. Dlink has some interesting cameras for 1/3 the price. I don't know if the will work with our software, or not, though.
