I get the impression the same company that was sourced as the manufacturer for the Vonnic and Boavision cameras is the same company given the similar file structure available via HTTP.

This means I can install iSpy on one of my servers and have an additional surveillance system that can facilitate using all of my cameras. The lesson is to not buy an "all in one" surveillance system if you want to use cameras from another manufacturer. It's easier, which is why I bought it in the first place, but it is also far more limiting.
