Looking for IP Cam-like Software for Windows (DVR/NVR)

[gigglebox]

Hello,

I've recently been plugged into the world of IP cams and IP Cam Viewer is great on my phone, but now Im looking to expand my capability.

Ultimately, what Im looking for is something that I can install onto a Windows machine (Server 2003, 2008, Vista, 7, etc.) that will provide a consolidated UI to monitor all of my IP cams (TrendNet, DLink, perhaps a Vivotek). Additionally, I am hoping to find such a system that will serve as a DVR/NVR for the IP cams in my setup. I've looked around, but all that Im finding is software in the $1000 range and most look extremely dated. Obviously, something bundled with a decent cam or way less expensive would be ideal.

I did see that Vivotek bundles what appears to be pretty decent software, but I cant find any reference to it supporting non-Vivotek cams.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
