I've been looking at building a security camera system for years and years. I have a few IP cams and used BI with some cheap foscam cameras and I'm happy with the setup. It was more of a proof of concept to me than anything. Networking is not a problem, so everything will be hard wired. There is...
Yes, I would like PTZ cameras for the majority of the cameras. The system will be approximately 16 cameras, but as someone else pointed out I should go with a larger NVR due to the fact that I'll likely want to install more at some point and time. I have a server, racks, the house is hardwired...
Thank you for the info. That's very valuable. Would you happen to have a part/model number on one so I can get a good idea. I looked them up and seems like quite a few things come up.
I'll likely put everything on my UPS.
Thank you for the suggestion very much. Would this be the "go to" NVR or are there some others that could be suggested (different brands) that would be an equivalent and highly regarded as the one you suggested?
Is there a suggested/preferred vendor to buy these through?
I have a computer that I basically purchased just for BI, which I have installed on it and some random IP cams. It works well, but I was hoping for a suggestion on a good NVR. Reliability is key and I don't want a random update, reboot, crash, etc... to be the reason my cams go down when I need...
I'm looking at system that will have a maximum of 16 cams. I understand the BI is insanely powerful and can be setup to be rock solid, however I honestly don't think I have that skillset and I simply would like to be able to setup a system and leave it be without worry.
Is there a standout NVR...
Wow, thank you very much. That was precisely the info I was looking for to further my research on this endeavor. I will be reading through the cliff notes as well and likely be back here with more questions as they arise. I have a foscam that I got a few years back and remember setting up Blue...
I have recently hardwired the entire location for Ethernet using Cat6 and the next project will be video surveillance. Most of the cameras will be outside under an eve in the soffit. I would like them to be as least intrusive as possible, so I'm thinking about using dome cameras. I think IP...
