hi,
i currently don't have any knowledge at all about CCTVs but have the following requirements, hope someone can help me.
Requirements description:
I want to monitor 4 work areas for approx 8 hours / day. 2 of the rooms would need audio/video feed, while 2 rooms only video. am not really after top quality video. i would want to view these 4 areas on demand, through live internet streaming as well as full video recording for database storage in a server or external hard drive(good for 1 week?). I would like to also have the capability to "burn" the video to DVD-R so as to free up hard-drive space regularly.
My questions:
1) do I even warrant a CCTV system at all or will this work with commercial video cameras (i.e. mini-DV, Video systems which i just need to connect to a PC with broadband connection.? how to do this? complexity and approx how much is this?
2) if this is a CCTV system, what are the basic requirments that i need? 4 cameras? 1 PC? 1 DVR? graphics card? how much approx?
I know this is a very basic question, please lead me to a thread if this has been done before, or hopefully please help me to also help future inquiries which are on the same level.
thanks!
jay
