Hi,
This is my first post in this Forum!!
I am into designing a CCTV system for a mall where there are two buildings and the total number of cameras frozen is around 110 - with a mix of PTZ, fixed box type with VF lens and 22x zoom fixed box type cameras.
The CMS is going to be in Building no. 2
In the first building (building1) there are around 60 cameras. Accordingly I would connect the cameras to multiple DVRs and get their feeds to an L2 switch through their Networking ports which will be further transmitted to the switch in building2 via OFC.
The cabling distance between the two buildings is around 200 mtrs.
In the building where the CMS is hosted (building2) , there are again a series of DVRs which shall be connected to an L3 switch (with another input coming from the L2 switch of building1 (via OFC)).
Now, i need a software which shall be able to see the feeds from all the cameras (via the DVRs). The number of workstation PCs need to be controlled with the maximum no. of LCds connected to them.
Also, a specific requirement of the client is that in case any cam needs to be zoomed in / viewed seperately, that should happen on a different LCd (specially kept for that purpose).
Another special requirement is that a straight distance of around 500 mtrs on the periphery of the mall needs to be covered -- I had suggested a couple of 36x PTZ cameras for the same - but the client is insisting that it would be better if that is done with a single camera.
Please advise.
Kindly let me know if any more information is required.
Regards,
D
