interesting point i didnt even think about it. Is there some sort of calculator or documentation on that fact. thanks again.

what kind of bandwidth are you referring to?

Well my application is pretty basic. It is a bar scene with low light. I do have some outdoor IR cameras for the front door and back patio area. They are interested in watching the doors, cash registers, they also want to make sure everything goes okay if there is a band or DJ meaning if there is a fight etc. For the most part they are interested in watching for stealing. The bar is fairly large. One is around 3400 sq.ft and I proposed around 22 cameras and the second is going to be 60+ cameras. The square footage is a lot larger I would say roughly 6K Sq ft, but its broken up pretty good. Right now both bars have seperate internet connectivity, but we are going on getting a site to site VPN or maybe some fiber between them. They also have 3-4 other small bars that already have CCTV and are using Dedicated Micros DVRs (which I am not a big fan of). I would like to proposed monitor the cash register with some sort of RS232 interface. We are an IT company by trade that specializes in data security. We are slowly getting into CCTV and Access Control due to demand from customers. I have a strong back ground in physical security and i would a decent one in smaller 4-16 cameras CCTV installs. Let me know if that is enough information.

i dont mind doing multiple DVRS but the problem i think i would face is managing 60+ cameras on 4+ DVRs....what camera was on what DVR etc. Is there a solution for htat? will the DVR software allow you to view as many cameras on multiple DVRS?

Thats a great demo! Thanks so much! The customer wants all cameras to be real time..no delay or lag. When the DVR specs say 5FPS is that per camera? or spread across all 16. Thanks again for the link. Have one that will show the difference of BW/Color/IR cameras? Just as a demo to a customer. Thanks James

What is the difference in FPS and IPS? is there any other measurement I need to know? Is there a place on the internet that will show me 5FPS vs 30FPS? Thanks James

I am looking for something stand alone...no DVR cards that will allow the expandibility and flexibility of axis. Does anyone have experience with it? Is there a demo i can view? Thanks to all!

I have a customer who is interested in 60+ Cameras. Does anyone have a product they recommend that will scale that well? I dont think putting in mulptiple DVRs is the solution> PLease let me know if anyone has used the AXIS video servers or Honeywells Enterpise Video Server. Thanks James
