Howdy everyone, I'm a newbie in CCTV security system and unfortunately english is not my first language so i may apologies for any mistake in this thread.
I've been hired to install a camera security system to protect server room
This is in a silo and it is spread on 3 level.
Level 1: Fan and Electricity system 2 Door
Level 2: This is separate into 2 "room" ( It is like a circle into another circle) The wall between those both "circle" room is made from Glass so we can see partially through it where the computer part does not obstruct the vision (I apologies is kinda hard to explain)
Level 3: Same as Level 2
Plus I need a camera In front of a "special" connector (witch can't be seen from anywhere else)
Those room are really noisy so I do not want any kind of Audio.
I think there small light open 24/7 in the silo.
It is gonna be around 8 camera, and I'm not sure if I would like to use a
1)IP Camera with NVR, Those are expensive and we do not need to get more camera in the future
2)CCTV Analogue Camera + DVR This should be fine but the fact i don't like is I am limited to the DVR. Is it possible to export the video files recorded on the DVR into another kind of device VIA ethernet connection (Like another computer..)
And is it possible to buy a "Linux os DVR" witch i can connect myself as root and do what i need to do?
I'm pretty sure this is impossible.... So i tried to find some information about DVR PCI-PCIe Card to put into a computer so i could have all the control i need. The only software witch linux can run is zoneminder (in my research so far) and this solution seem pretty hard to find Camera/DVR card witch gonna work with this software...
As you could understand I must use Linux as an operating system, I Can't use any microsoft product for some reason..
(I guess an embedded windows DVR should be fine ... but i prefer not)
More specification:
We want to record only when someone enter the silo (Motion detection)
We do not need SUPER feature like remote control from a 3g cellphone...
We cannot install ANY software who needed Windows OS
Quality of camera:
We need to be able to (from the face) recognize who enter the silo (so good resolution is needed)
Some area might be dark during the night so i guess we need IR led?
So here I'm asking Do you have some advice to put this in place?
Thank for ANY reply and I apologies again for any english mistake present in this thread.
EDIT: Here I'm back with more information:
My supervisor want one of those 2 option
Option A)
IP Camera With POE (Power over ethernet ) because we don't want a tons of wire.
Being able to extract every video/picture on a server.
Option B)
CCTV Analogue camera with DVR but we are looking to extract our different file on a server. We do not want the file only on the DVR hard drive.
We want to remote control the DVR. From a distant computer if possible.
Finally we do not need color on camera but we gonna take it if we can.
And we have around 2500$CAN to buy this system
Thx again for any reply
