Hi all, my first post here, I've been thrown in at the deep end, I Just started as the only employee in a cctv company, the boss is overseas indefinately and i have to design and quote an under vehichle system for a local hotel in Indonesia. The hotel plans to use 2 cameras to achieve the desired field of view. If any of you have designed or installed a similar system, any pointers on cameras/lenses and lighting would be appreciated. I think i'll be posting here regularly in the next couple of months untill i get my feet on the ground and some experience under my belt! All the best, Bulana

You're right, it's a total nightmare from a new comers perspective, however, the hotel is an existing client and they haven't really got too many options. Regarding liability, not an issue. I feel common sense and some combined input of experiences will go a long way to an effective deployment. I have read some very detailed insightfull replies to threads by regular forum members. Vehichles have both a speed hump and a boom gate as physical barriers and also men with large, fully automatic weapons to encourage correct positioning and movement over cameras. I have considered the issue of varying heights of different vehichles and will wait to see what suggestions are forthcoming regarding hardware and positioning below ground. I appreciate your input Tweak'e. Many thanks , Bulana

Hi Tweak'e, your questions are valid, Indonesia , and in particular where the system is to be installed has had some issues with terrorists and bombs. The cameras will be used to help in bomb detection and will be both recorded and viewed live by the Hotel security staff. Many thanks Bulana
