The Axis210 and AXIS Camera Station sofware fits the bill very well but is there a competitive product that we should consider as well - or any horror stories about Axis!!?

Can't recommend anything specific on the hardware side but as for the software, you might want to take a look at ZoneMinder . (Its free, although the developer will gladly accept donations.)

I have 4 D-Link DCS-900 cameras. They work reasonably well but the client sucks. It pegs the CPU at 99% all of the time if you have motion detection enabled. The camera servers do sometimes crash so you will have to hard reset them occasionally. Still way more reliable than X10 PC interface crap. that Axis camera looks suspiciously like the DCS-

1000 from D-Link, I would love to get my hands on their software to see if it's compatible with D-Link cameras.
