Hello folks, I am a college owner in Sudan. One of our buildings is in need of a Camera Security System. The building is a 3 story with (11) 60sqm computer labs 10X6 and (1) 300sqm Library 20X15. Only the equipment in the labs and the library needs to be protected. Also the building has a wireless network system. I would appreciate it if I got some help on system components that I need to purchase and some recommendations on manufacturers. If you need any additional information please let me know. Thanks in advance guys, Mo,

Called supplier of the 3xLOGIC cam above and they quoted $577.32 per cam. That is much higher than budgeted for. Is this a reasonable price? Are there any other affordable solution? Any help with this will be appreciated. As the cameras need to be installed soon.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks again, so I did a search for a 2 mp, varifocal 3-12mm lens, h.264, and vandal resistant dome network camera as recommended by u. and found this camera: http://www.heivision.net/index.php?ctrl=product&act=detail&goodsid=156 Any opinions about this product is welcomed. Not sure about the price of this camera yet. I have a budget of about $150-200 per camera. 15 cameras are needed. Any suggestions on the NVR specs needed? From what I understood The IP cameras benefits is that it process the video in the camera. So the saving is that IP cameras replace the long runs of BNC cables from the camera to the DVR. with short network connection from the camera to the network outlets.

Thanks Soundy, that helped a lot. Quick clarification, is the "wide shot" field adjustable on all 2MP H.264 network cameras? or do I need to purchase a camera with a wide shot capability for the lab? please elaborate on the wide shot concept. Also since the 2MP H.264 is a "network camera", does that mean I don't need to buy a DVR for recording? My questions are silly but I don't have much knowledge in this
