I would look at Milestone software, they are offering 8 cam software free for the first year, it can support many IP Cameras and is easy to set up. You can download it and play with it with any web/laptop cam

Your best bet is to contact a local distributor and establish a relationship, I believe Gardiner is in your area. They can supply you will up to date pricing and marketing materials.

I always find it best to buy from a good local distributor, no issue with returns, can usually get close to matching online prices and can build a good business relationship and credit terms over time.

You can set different user profiles with the Ded Mic, also the PTZ itself might have programming to restart patterns after a set amount of time. What type of PTZ is it

Probably a proprietary clip that can only be played back by the player software, what type of system is it. You may also be able to export the clip in another format such as AVI,check the manual

Might have luck using an IP Camera in a special housing that can meet the criteria, explosion proof etc.

You could use an integrated camera and intercom system such as Siedle or Aiphone, two way audio with build in camera. They have the wiring specs on their sites depending on which model you choose

Pelco, Infinova and Panasonic do control up the coax, would have to buy matching keyboard or coaxitron producing equipment such as Pelco MPT 9000.

Casino surveillance follows strict criteria such as Nevada Gaming Board regulations on what is required, therefore I would strongly suggest bringing in an expert. Items covered but not limited too are FPS, Coverage requirements, Storage etc.

How about IP Cameras with built in audio such as Axis

That's an F Connector, not a BNC Connector.

You could put a junction box next to the camera for the connections, if its not too ugly

Make sure you drill at the same angle as the pitch of the roof to avoid drilling through it. Try to get a marker such as vent plate, locate in the attic and go off that, use an attic rat

RJ45's

Go1984

Could use a Foresight VDS2500 to run 2 video's over one coax and use the 18/2 to power both if you have enough current

I think you will find that the Sprite 2 only records 60fps across all 16 cameras, might want to tweak and set up on motion recording, this should increase picture quality

Try building block video out of the UK

I would probably look at Axis M1054, so much flexibility as far as streaming video. Also has 2 way audio that may come in useful. Would need storage and software also.

Could use a Megapixel box camera with a pan/tilt housing and motorized zoom lens, this way you can choose whatever you want. Don't know if it would work for your application though

Soundy, sorry to knit pick but it should be trench, pipe, pull wire then bury, wouldn't want to dig up again if there was any problems with the pull

Depending on the distance you can either trench and install the correct size PVC Conduit or use Directional Bore, a local utilities contractor should be able to give you a quote on doing this. A locate is recommended to identify other water pipes, electrical, telecom etc.

Try www.broadberry.com, talk to Mark. Has put together many storage solutions at a very reasonable price, also knows what is needed for the CCTV industry.

Try Marshall (mars-cam.com), they've got a good range of covert lenses and cameras
