That's great! Glad we are on the same page. The main focus of my company is still IT driven at this point. It's possibly but not likely. The customers location is in a congested area with historical buildings. There is a row of 3-4 large townhouse style buildings where is main store is. The office building is not connected but I could probably lay a 15-20ft conduit over the building tops. I'll run it by him to see. Thanks for the idea GSS has been absolutely wonderful helping spec things out for all of my projects. I just don't know if they have the best prices as I've only dealt with them. Just for reference my cost is $54 for the day/night cameras and a standalone Linux based DVR is around $999. Sound right? I prefer the PC based systems as well. The bullet cameras are pretty much my only option because there is no drop ceiling to mount the dome cameras. In fact, the only place he wants to mount the cameras is on the permiter walls about 12 ft up.

First let me provide a little info about myself. I'm a IT Professional and just starting to get into the security camera field. I own my own company that I'm trying to move forward. A few of my clients had existing camera systems in place and asked me about upgrading them. As I didn't know much about them I told them I would look into it. That was a year or so ago and since I enjoyed working with the DVR's and cameras I decided to add it to my list of services. Last week I had a new client ask about a complete new install. I have yet to do a complete ground-up install but imagine it's not going to be much different than a recent upgrade I did. My last client had me install 4 new day/night bullet cameras, GeoVision 650-8 DVR card, run all the cables, etc. I can't imagine a new install will be much more work than that was. This new client would like 6-8 cameras as his main store then ideally 2 wireless cameras at a remote office about 100ft away. The problem I see with the wireless cameras is the signal will need to go through 3 other brick buildings. For all my previous installs I've been dealing with GSS in Virgina. I was told that they are by far 'not the cheapest' guy in town. I was hoping you guys could help me design a system based on my clients needs. His needs/wants. 6-8 wired camers at main store 2 wireless / or independant system as office 14 days of recorded video storage PC based DVR is not needed in his mind but wants remote access Thanks!
