Re: DVR with IP access recommendation
Thanks for the reply Robert,
The old system I am going to replace has 7 black and white cameras
connected to an old monochrome multiplex switcher that has a monochrome
monitor connected to it and also a time lapse VCR.
For the new system I would like to switch the cameras to color and add a
few more for a total of 8-10 cameras. Currently, 4 are outdoors and 3
are indoors. There is already RG59 cable and power run to all camera
locations so I would like to reuse the existing wiring.
The current monitor is at a location where nobody is sitting. I would
like to be able to view a camera, or cameras, on web browsers for just a
few people in the company. The cameras are mostly watching parking lots,
door entrances and a warehouse so I don't see a need for pan and tilt
cameras.
I think the lowest resolution of what is available now is much better
than we have by playing back the old VCR. Since we mainly use the system
to see what happened after an incident, having the resolution to see a
license plate would be a plus.
My preference is to have a dedicated, non-PC based system system with
storage for two, maybe three weeks.
Thanks, Tom
