This ALWAYS seems to be a problem with me. I genreally use Speco Intensifier Cameras; HT-INTB8 is one I like alot... Gives a great day and night picture.. but still at night when someone/some vehicle is 40-75 geet from the camera, you cant see anything. So lets say I have a row of cars in from of the dealer, 100 ft long... I know I could use one camera and get that whole shot, but should I really be using a HT-INTb8 for the first 40-50 and and HT0INTb9 for the back 50? Always so fistrating, the last thing you want after selling a system is a call saying they had an incident and cant make anything out and wants to enhance the picture post incident. This is after the client has gasped as my 4 camera / DVR quote for $3000.00

The distributer I deal with mostly always pitches the analog. I've asked about them and he really hasnt had that much good to say about them. Honeslty I have never used an IP. The biggest pro I have heard about them is you can zoom in more deatail. Do you do this with the dvr or an exteral program. I am in New England so we have extreme cold temetures. Do they make bullet style or are they all need to be housed. Finally, can you recommend a couple models I can look at? Lighting is very good in the area. Thanks!

I have done a couple small car dealerships.. Seems like the common problem the dealer wants to see the whole lot with four outside cameras... which is fine for an overview...but when an incident happens, you can make out any detail and the client is pissed. Any recommendations on the best way to design a system for a dealership, recommendations on a particular camera to use, placemement , number of cameras.. I know it is hard not knowing the layout...but average size dealer, 100 cars or so

Hello, I was called to quote a system for a large college campus. It has 14 buildings, so I am thinking it could be 112 cameras for 8 on average per building. I am an idependant alarm dealer, have done schools and businesses with 16-28 cameras all in one building, but nothing like this. Not sure where to start on this.... how do I tie in all the camreras, what do you use for a "dvr" shoudl you put one dvr in each building and network them together? Thanks!
