Hello Everyone,
I am looking to build a surveillance system (16 CCTV cameras and 4 Megapixel ip cameras ) for a small hotel with a tight budget. Ideally, it would be a hybrid DVR card or NDVR standalone box that would meet the following requirements:
- Quality Web streaming and mobile viewer
- PTZ
- Video analytics (general motion, missing object, camera occlusion, foreign object, lose focus and signal lost) and Event notifications
- E-map (overlap of an uploaded image and camera location)
- ideally, Energy efficient and small footprint (24x7 usage of course with back UPS or some failure recovery)
- optional, iSCSI target onto our QNAP nas
So far I came across a good deal on the Nuuo Hybrid 7016 card and I have to say it has a great bundle of features. Only thing I am not happy with is that it requires to be loaded on top of Windows, need for additional IP licenses, and it cannot save onto the network drives. Furthermore, I have no experience building a very energy efficient pc with these components (http://support.nuuo.com/mediawiki/index.php/Hardware_compatibility_list). Anyone with some knowledge? Is 60-80 Watts realistic?
Other suggestions on hybrid cards or DVRs would be greatly appreciated.
I'm new to CCTV Forum so thanks a bunch in advance!
