Using CCTV cameras as Network cameras with Pana BB-HCS301

[H2O]

What has been your experience with the Panasonic BB-HCS301?
It allows analog CCTV cameras to be used as network cameras.

Any recommendations on good, inexpensive Video Switchers that will allow multiple CCTV cameras to be viewed sequentially with the BB-HCS301?

Not looking for a video switcher integrated with a DVR but just a standalone, inexpensive switcher.

This appears to be a Video Server (aka Video Encoder).

If your goal is to take CCTV cameras and IP-enable them, this is one of many devices you can use. Axis, ACTi, Vivotek, and many other manufacturers make video servers for this purpose.

Do you have specific requirements?

It is 8 cctv cameras in place that need to be viewed remotely. They can be viewed one at a time.

Any suggestions on inexpensive 8-to-1 video switchers that can be used? The switcher would need to sequentially show each cctv camera, similar to how they are viewed on a monitor.

The Panasonic is a single-channel device. I assume Axis, Acti and others are also single-channel devices?

Thank you.
