I've set up my own home security monitoring in the past using a camera, Zoneminder, and other tools. Zoneminder is not that great, and I would love to have a packaged commercial solution which isn't too locked down from it's owner. I think there are nice opportunities for business in this area. That all said, I hate gimicky javash*t websites like this. If I have to noscript-enable sites like jquery.com, your site probably is too sleazy for me to look at. Stop hiding your product behind cheesy effects.

I've used Zoneminder and, you're right, it's not all that great. If you can stomach running Windows you might have a look at the Geovision NVR software (http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/Prod_GVNVRV85.asp http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/Prod_GVNVRV85.asp). I find it to be a lot more polished than Zoneminder. The user interface is a bit ugly but the functionality has been satisfactory. I have a client using it in a 100 camera installation, and another using it with just a single camera and it works well in both cases. A license to use the software is included with any of Geovision's cameras, which are also quite nice (and Linux-based, though they don't allow you to get root on the cameras).
