What do I need to build a minimal Cisco videoconferencing system?

I'm trying to figure out what I need to build a videoconferencing

system.

I already have:

Main site with a Cisco 3825 w/ Adv IP 12.4, where I expect I'll have 5

- 10 users who will regularly use a videoconferencing system

Remote site with a Cisco 2811 w/ Adv IP 12.4, where I'll have 3 - 5

users

I'll be adding 5 - 6 additional remote sites with 2811s, with 3 - 5

regular users each.

Everyone will be connected across T1s and IP.

I though I could just use MeetingPlace Express, but I've just realized

that MPE is for voice and web conferencing only, and has no video

component.

So I'm trying to figure out all the bits and pieces of MeetingPlace,

and I just can't work out what I truly need. If I'm half-way on track,

a 8106 30UL IP Bundle will get me started, but I'll also have to buy a

Media Convergence Server AND a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3515 AND

the Video Integration software, not including any goodies like Outlook integration or sufficient web

conferencing licenses.

Is there anything else I'm missing? Or am I way off base, and MPE will

work just fine? I sure would appreciate the advise.

Hi. It sounds like you've gotten further than I have. I'm lost regarding where to go from the camera. I thought Cisco had camera's and screens for a complete solution. I am lost. I believe I need a 3500 series device but how it connects to the LAN, I am very confused about. Do I need to buy a camera and microphone from another vendor?
