hey guys i need some help as to what cameras should i use for a casino that has over 200 machines, 8 tables and the cashier cage.. Any recommendations as to what types of cameras as well as soft ware and server type will be appreciated. let me know what other info you all may need..............

hey guys i'm thinking about going with vivotek since i can run their software for up to 32 cameras free and i can also join each server using thier cms software VAST after. 1 other question do i need to run all my wires back to the surveillance room or i can use 16 port poe switches in the ceiling at different locations and just run 1 or 2 wires back the room on another switch which will also be attached to the servers..

ssmith10pn So if i get the Enterprise version is that it no more licenses and whats the cost if you know.

hey guys is there a brand that doesn't require all these licenses i got quotes for the advance version of Avigilon vms and it was over 7000 US Plus some other licenses to. Let me know thanks

If im going with the avigilon 2mp for tables and cage, please tell me which server/ software should i use,and which switch..etc

ok guys sorry for not posting I'm loving the ideas but not the hate, here is the thing i got a quote from avigilon for 20 ip 2mp camera NVR server etc. it's costing me alot 55000US.. My other main issue is that my technicians aren't really that good with IP systems that's why i am trying to learn about it. what will be my best option if i want to do it in parts maybe all tables first then cage and slots. Which software can i use that doesn't require me to buy Licenses for cameras. Our setup right now is 10 dvr's recording at D1 resolution each having 16 ch cards in them and it is viewed on 11 32inch flat screen TV. I was thinking of using a similar layout. what you guys think.. Two screens 50inch maybe For just the 8 tables, 8,, 2mp camera each and do 1 server for recording those 8 cameras. but can i get to view the cameras and still do a playback from this setup.HOW? for slots i'll use 2 servers each for recording 32 cameras each, cashiers cage on another server maybe 32 cameras also that will also cover soft count areas etc. and 1 for the outside of the casino, parking lots etc. WHAT IS MY BEST OPTION FOR CAMERAS AND SOFTWARE THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS. I COULD DO THIS AND AS THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES IN TRINIDAD WE CAN THEN UPGRADE TO BETTER MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE AS WE ONLY DO REPLAYS AND ANYTHING NEEDED IS SAVED AND EXPORTED ONTO MY INCIDENT'S SYSTEM. I HAVE TRIED THE ONLY IP THAT I CAN BUY LOCALLY IT'S A BOX CAMERA FRO IVEIWTECH AND IT SHOWS GOOD COMPARED TO D1 ITS A 2 MP AND THE SOFTWARE CAME WITH IT AND WORKS GREAT. IPROTECT IS THE NAME OF IT. I CAN VIEW 25 AT A TIME SO WILL I BE ABLE TO USE THE SOFWARE THAT COMES WITH THE CAMERA FOR THIS SETUP OR NOT?

As i said Ip is new to us in Trinidad, and 15000us per month is my allowance just for upgrading it's not my salary..

Im the surveillance manager, and want to upgrade from cctv to IP but in stages My budget is 100000 per month. But i need to know in detail what to use like lets say right now i have 16 analog with dvr 2tb storage, coaxial,bnc ends.. what setup can i use to replace this please include brands,and switches etc..

I'm from trinidad so anything goes no laws.. I would like to have 30fps though

i want to connect about 20 IP cameras, whats the best software i could use for recording and playback of these cameras.. i am looking for software that i don't have to pay an every year license for.

as topic said what would be the best IP cameras to use to view tables at our casino. and can i slit the image from the camera so that i can view on a spot monitor. need to know before i purchase the wrong stuff.

i have to do an installation from one building to another but i can't run wire underground or over head. the buildings are about 100ft apart. what are my options. i'm thinking wireless but its 18 cameras. how can i get all over.
