Is there such a thing as a cheap, affordable IP KVM? I’m looking for a way to remotely access PC’s while they’re installing windows or Mac OS (so Remote Desktop software solutions are out of the question).

What I’m looking for is a KVM that has a web interface. All I need is a video feed, keyboard and mouse pass through and a way to switch between machines and to access all of that over the web.

Searching for IP KVM might not be the right thing because I’m seeing 32 port monsters that cost $2 grand that allow you to make the KVM-switch-to-PC wiring connection over Ethernet.

That’s not exactly what I’m looking for, all of the PCs I need to deal with can be right next to the KVM switch and won’t need to be extended over Ethernet.

As long as I can access those PC’s remotely over the internet, switch between them and get KB/M pass through, I’m good. I’m thinking 4 ports, 8 at the max.

Ideally something like DRAC would work, but I’m talking end-user machines that don’t have that tech.

Does something like that exist in the couple hundred dollar range? I need the Belkin of the ip kvm world, not the Cisco, lol

Ugh the dreaded YouTube face. But thank you I’ll check that out.

Upon watching, that only takes one source in. If I want 4 sources, I have to buy 4 of them at $300 a crack.

Oh yeah I suppose if I go the diy route. I just went to their store and looked at the prebuilt model

But I couldn’t switch that kvm remotely on the web as far as I understand it
