>> Well, I don't really have any INTELLIGENT questions but I have some dumb
>> ones.  First, here is my situation:
>>
>> I have old 15k' light mfg building in the Cleveland inner city.  I have
>> been broken into 15 times this year alone.  We have an ADT system with 3
>> PIRs, 1 Dualtech, door switches and fire system connections.  We have an
>> armed guard service that tours the building every few hours and has
>> almost caught the thieves a couple of times.  The thieves can hear the
>> main gate opening and they run.  The Cleveland Police has staked-out the
>> building on numerous occasions without joy.  I have researched many
>> security solutions and upgrades and am most inclined to use a video
>> system.  One of the limiting factors is that we have cats on duty in the
>> building thus limiting our dumb sensors.  The other BIG advantage other
>> than security is monitoring and recording workcenter activity with the
>> intention of improving efficiencies, supplement training, reduce
>> shrinkage, record injury circumstances and see just what those silly cats
>> do at night.
>>
>> The end product I want is:
>>    1.  Selectable, robust motion detection areas that will be cat-immune
>> but record face identifiable footage of criminal activity and trigger my
>> ADT system.
>>    2.  Constant recording of selectable work activities.
>>    3.  An easy to use, robust, low-maintenance, non-twitchy, good-feeling
>> system that does not have too many capabilities that I will never use but
>> has most of the capabilities I DO want, at a reasonable cost.
>>    4.  Administration of system through our tcp/ip computer network.
>>
>> We can internally handle installation and computer related issues with no
>> problem.  I have been looking at various websites of DVR cards and
>> related equipment and will pull the trigger as soon as I am sure of what
>> I want and need and find a vendor that I have confidence in. I see the
>> full spectrum of ebay vendors to stuff that is WAY out of my range with
>> capabilities I will never need.  I believe that eight cameras would more
>> than cover the internal views I need but I don't know if I might like to
>> expand to accommodate external views and coverage of some areas with
>> different angles or magnification.
>>
>> I haven't submitted a budget range yet as I am unsure what I will use.
>> The prices vary so much, I know some of the stuff is crap and some is
>> just WAY over-priced...I haven't figured out the sweet spot yet.  A few
>> local companies I have called knew nothing about DVR systems.  Most of
>> the on-line vendors I have e-mailed with questions haven't
>> responded...they're out of the running, they must not want my money.
>>
>> Just what is the difference between a Geovision 800 for $700 and a
>> off-brand with similar specs for $210?  Does every DVR card demand an
>> Intel or can I use an AMD?  What cameras can I be happy with?  What's a
>> reasonable budget number for everything excluding labor?  What stuff
>> should I avoid like the plague?  What features are necessary, too cool
>> not to have, or just plain cheesecake?  Are there any recommendations for
>> vendors?
>>
>> Thanks, next time I might have intelligent questions!
