I have a proposed setup for cctv cameras i was wondering if it possible to stream to multiple tv from one nvr (vivotek ND8401 ) If it’s not possible to do using IP , digital components (DVI , HDMI , VGA ) can be connected from the NVR and split to the TVs which means they will all be showing the same contents . Otherwise if it was using IP all the TV would connect to the NVR independently of each other which they can show different contents , or a device (android or small HTPC ) which has HDMI output can sit between each TV set and NVR . the tv set are far apart .

Hello im looking for vivotek main profile sdk .. where can i get one other from their website

Hello i have installed a couple of vivotek FD8162 dome cameras and after accessing night images i found the IR reflect back on the perspex resulting to poor video , is there a work around this

examples

I have finalize all the components needed for a major video surveillance project I'm working on . the cameras are in separate floors ( where is 2-4 ) cameras on certain floors . My manager suggest us to use CAT 6 cabling . What is now left is finding a 8 -12 port POE switch , that has 2 SFP and support cat 6 cabling which I cannot find . Does anyone knows of any ?

im tring to intergrate some high end PIR devices(siemens IS404H) that are being installed across our perimeter with a vivotek PTZ camera . our perimeter has irregular shape and the camera is installed at 15 meters pole . i want when the PIR alarm is raised the camera zoom at that direction and records . can this be achievable

my boss thinks having a higher mega pixel cameras provide much clarity than cameras with lower pixel. on our design for the company he says we should not go below 2 MP , according to my survey , areas such as door entrance or camera facing loading bay we do not require higher pixelated cameras because the field of view is not required is less than the resolution of 2MP can provide , in any case if we choose 2MP cameras , when configuring the camera to record on the server , these cameras will still record at 1.3MP or even lower than tat..am right ?right?

but the signals (packet loss ) esp while streaming for live view are going to be affected

taking your primary purpose for camera selection is monitoring for a wide area , open garage area for trucks , what are the advantage and disadvantage of using 360 camera(using 180 panoramic view) over multiple bullet cameras .the 360 cameras is vivotek fe8171v and bullet is ip8361

to my understanding cat 6 has a higher bandwidth capacity and my organization has heavy machinery so using twisted pair cabling is an advantage

thanks man

Hi Im trying to select the appropriate nvr for my video surveillance solution . what are the pros and cons of using windows or linux nvr say from qnap or synology nas (installed with nvr linux software )

In my situation we have a mixture of pir and cameras covering the perimeter but I want to integrate both to work together . I understand some concept with PIR but not the networking technical aspect concerning with RS 485 cabling . Im trying to design the network architecture for the pirs and this is where im stuck . I want to know how does one terminate the cable . If there is a device that can terminate the cable from multiple pirs and convert the signal for Ethernet (UTP) use .

Im a newbie system engineer at company that assigned me with the task of leading cctv upgrade from analog to IP across different remote site ..i have read tonnes of articles and white papers on IP technology and now im suppose to prepare a proposal . i have done the site survey and acquired the technical and operation requirements . whats the problem ?.i dnt know how to write a proposal on this kind ..if some1 could help me with a template of various contents that are suppose to be in a proposal . the proposal is due in two days time for board review and i can't mess up this one . Any professions outthere
