... it's all but impossible to tell what you get for $39 without actually buying it I guess.
Unfortunately, you'll need the Private ($49.95) or Pro ($99.95) versions to have a really usable package (These are the only versions that password protect the web page.
I purchased the pro version, but in retrospect I should have purchased the private version.
The only thing the pro version adds to the private version is motion detection and remote admin.
Motion detection is OK, but it's difficult o configure sometimes (my wireless cam sends a false trigger every time there's a bit of static, but it works well on the USB cams). You can also have it trigger the HS command line utility every time it detects motion so HS can react (but you can't configure this for each camera, one command for all cameras)
The remote admin is not necessary now that I can RDP my server.
It would be nice if the security version included password protection (how can you say something is for "security" when it's not password protected?)
If I were to start all over, I'd probably not have bought the software and just bought same-brand IPcameras 1 or at a time, as I could afford them and use them. It seems it would be simpler, free-up my processor for other things - and not be dependent on the server being up (if it's down for some reason).
I still think that's the direction I'm going. Wireless IP cameras can be had for <$100 and wired for <$80 if you shop around.
Maybe one of those ebay-special 4-port IP camera servers might be nice too.
My bottom line is that
I would not recommend this software for purchase, but rather - my intent was to let existing owners of the software be aware of the capabilities of the latest beta.
