Cisco has released two IP cameras and has ported the Broadware software to run as modules in Cisco routers. Cisco's main competitors include Milestone, Genetec and other large DVR/NVR manufactures. Read a critique of Cisco's general positioning and a review of their video surveillance in a router offering.
