Thank you for the reply. Some of your reasons against Ubiquity is why I don't use Ubiquity equipment commercially. As I personally have many Ubiquity cameras I need a solution to be able to monitor them, I'll try Debian 8 and see how that works with the Ubiquity software. I've tried looking for a new NVR that supports Ubiquity cameras without success. If Debian 8 does not work for me I'll have to look at replacing the cameras. David.
