Hello it is me again Well, I think we will use H.264 cameras after all So I will replace my current cameras in this order: 209FD will stay 216FD > P3343 both 6mm and 12mm 225FD > P3343 both 6mm and 12mm outdoor 225FD > P3343-VE 212PTZ will stay 215PTZ will stay 233D > Q6032-E What do you guys think about this setup???

Hello... Because I am new to all this it would be nice if you guys could answer some questions that I am bothered... 1. Axis 225FD has IR built in. Do I need an extra one for underground parking lot surveillance? (parking lot is inside the building) 2. Can I place Axis 225FD camera in corner? I have looked at Axis's Web Site but they are not providing any kind of angle wall bracket or something... 3. I will place some 225FD outdoor. Is it a good choice to buy Axis PS-12 or PS-24 power adapter for the heater? I think PS-12 has enough power but any advice would be helpful. 4. I will place one 233D outside in Axis T9500 House casing which is powered with 100-240VAC input. Axis says that it is enough for both camera and heaters and fans. Just need your opinion if you have experienced this situation do I need an extra power supply like PS-24??? I know questions are dumb but I have to be sure if I am doing something wrong. Vladimir

I have meant to say H.264 IP cameras, my mistake. I know H.264 is type of compression and I used Axis Design Tool and bandwidth is almost half of M-PEG4 Lets say my boss decide to purchase H.264 IP cameras. What type of H.264 camera you would purchase instead of: 209FD, 216FD, 212PTZ, 215PTZ, 225FD and 233D...

I just talked to boss and H.264 is not an option because they are more expensive here and on old ones we get more rebate People will monitor cameras, there will be IP camera server room where there will be 7 NetAvis Observer III servers on NetEye400 rackmount each one with 4TB storage space. Will also have 6x Cisco Catalyst 2960 PoE switch 24-port ad they will be connected to 1x Cisco 4500 L3 switch and further more to NetAVis Servers. Between switches there will be fiber optic cable and between 2960 and IP cameras CAT5 cable. I guess this is the solution and I can't go beyond this. Only thing I can do is to make triggers on NetAVis if someone is spotted light to turn on and IP camera will capture an image of an intruder. I will manage something. But I wish I can use H.264 just for these low-light conditions. Vladimir

We will use Axis T90A21 IR-LED 50-100 DEG: http://www.axis.com/products/cam_irillum/t90a/ Is this good enough? And I will consider H.264 definatelly. And you were right, this build of material was built round march-april 2008.

Unfortunatelly, people before me made build of material and it will be ordered just as they have imagined I can try to convince my boss to switch to H.264 but it will be a tough task to accomplish... Wow, I just can't imagine purchasing and installing that many previous-generation cameras now that H.264 is so readily available. MPEG is fine for a few cameras, but if you plan to use a large number of cameras, H.264 will significantly reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. Also, given that low light is a requirement, I don't really think the 1/4" Axis sensors are going to be up to the task. I suggest testing with just a couple cameras, and then switch to a company like Panasonic once you discover the light is too dim for an Axis. Best, Christopher

I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina (Southern-East Europe) The third question was with PS-12 power adapter I know I will need an extra adapter for the heater, I found out last night. Do I have to change something in my video surveillance infrastructure if I move to H.264 IP cameras??? I will use NetAvis Observer III though. Do they make higher bandwidth than normal VGA/Megapixel IP cameras?

It is a project and I will use around 250 IP cameras. Money is not the issue. The guy before me decided to use Axis 225FD for parking lot + outdoor surveillance while in the building there will be 209FD, 216FD and 212PTZ together with few 215PTZ IP cameras. These four types of cameras are fine and they will be powered with Cisco Catalyst 2960 PoE switch (except 215PTZ off course) Its 225FD which bothers me. In project, there are IRs next to few 225FDs, so I guess that will be OK. I will consider about H.264 cameras but the company who is responsible to help me, they have poor technical support but I will see if I can get any information from them.

Thanks for response. So I have to buy IRs. I just found - Axis has AXIS T91A64 Corner Bracket and it is suitable for 225FD

I would suggest Axis 233D Network Dome Camera...

Axis 233D It has 35x optical and 12x digital zoom but it is very expensive :/

Axis cameras like 225FD vandal-proof is very good camera for outdoor surveillance.... You can use NetAvis Observer III (free use) very easy to install and you are accessing via Windows client to manage cameras. Only thing you should pay is camera + camera licence for each camera...

Cisco Catalyst 2960 series 24PC-L is awesome Has 24 PoE ports which is nice for you for future IP network camera growth
