hello and newbie question

[hishaken]

Hello,
I start to look at Zwave products.
Just ask, in a complete, functioning Zwave system, do we need to have a Zwave server? can't we just use a controller?
I have seen Honeywell product, Lynx touch 5100, can I add Zwave device to it including zwave cameras, then excluding the server?
Thank you

If you want something right now, then I agree with the Vera suggestion.  If you can wait, then the Almond+ project on KickStarter might be a good option.
