The axis 1011-w and 1031-w series of cams support 802.1x and are inexpensive. They are quite flexible and run a stripped down version of linux so you can do some neat things with them. They also are ac 120 which may be a pro for you; the 1054 in that line is poe.

On software, Milestone has a free version of xprotect (Go) that is pretty decent on the windows side.

Sony also offers a free version of their Real Shot Manager product, although it only works with Sony cams. Sony makes incredible cams, however they are aimed and priced towards professional installs.

If you don't want to use a whole PC you may want to look into a synology NAS; they have a pretty full featured camera / security application with the new 4.0 DSM (OS). They suck down a heck of a lot less power than a full PC and there's a pretty full lineup of models to choose from. They can also double as your media server, webserver, nas, etc. We have a DS1812+ in the office that I love.

Good luck.

Dave,

I know there are inherit risk with wifi in general however that is why I was specific to say 802.1x authentication therefore meaning the use of PSK with WPA/WPA2 are not being used. When you have deployed a
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Level WLAN the WPA/WPA2 PSKs change frequently therefore making it extremely hard to gain access to a Enterprise WLAN network. So with that said are there wireless cams that can do 802.1x authentication? Or are they only capable of doing PSK?

Does anyone have any security information associated with Z-Wave?

Or any security information related to X10?

I would connect the cameras to a switch and have a desktop pc interrogate the cameras and relay the feeds in real-time to a television such that a user can change channels to monitor the different camera feeds. Yes, we get TV tuner cards but do we get software that does something like this? I need non-computer savvy users to be able to monitor the cameras.
