+1 for FogBugz being awesome and it does everything you ask for extremely well except for it being a desktop app or locally hostable webapp. You could host it yourself but that would be very expensive. I think you should have a little more faith in the cloud though - I believe they are a trustworthy organisation with too much to lose (i.e. shitloads of customers) if they did leak your data.

But is an addiction to nicotine really all that problematic if you're addicted to the patch or the gum? Does nicotine alone have long-term health effects and would those effects outweigh the possible benefits?

I really don't know the answer to that but there surely are issues with being addicted to anything. For example; controlling the dosage levels (an addict may take more than recommended), ability to switch to a better alternative in the future, unwanted side-effects (which I'm pretty sure nicotine has). I accept your point though, if the benefits outweigh the current problems the recipient has, it's certainly worth considering.

I suppose a way to test it for yourself would be to get the patch or the gum and see if it helps you. At least that way, you're not getting most of the bad stuff too.

Whilst your point is valid, he'd be putting himself in danger of becoming addicted to nicotine again if he did so. Obviously he's managed to give up once, but nicotine is *very* addictive so it's probably not a good suggestion!

Additionally, they only can be viewed with IE.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. There's an ActiveX mode and a Java mode. If you use the Java mode and have the appropriate plugin for Firefox or other browser, it should work fine.

Also, if you just want video, you can use something like VLC to view the MJPEG stream. Something like http://ipaddress/image?speed=25 will do the trick.

They're twice the price of an Axis camera, which doesn't have the quality control issues

Yes, Axis cameras are excellent in many respects - and also Linux based. You can even go in and edit the control scripts.
