Hi,
Found this forum and realize there are many friendly and many people with good understanding of CCTV system so I have few questions for you all
I have recently purchased a samsung SRD-440 DVR http://www.samsungcctv.com/product/product_view.asp?idx=6569 to replace my hybrid CCTV DVR installed by my local security system installer as I am very frustrated with the hybrid DVR interface which lags and quite not user friendly. However, upon installing the Samsung SRD-440, I have came to realize that my previous cameras and DVR are running on PAL format. So I am now looking for some branded cameras to replace my current system as I have in many instances my hybrid system has been performing terribly as well.
My current requirements/setup is:
1) 1 external box camera located outside my shop to monitor my shop entrance.
2) 1 Dome camera to monitor my cash register
3) 1 DOme camera to monitor the shop interior
4) 1 Dome camera to monitor my staff dorm entrance which is located above my shop.
I am now looking at samsung SCD-2010 to replace my current dome camera, would this be overkill? I know the answer would be that depending on what I need, so I am looking for a decent camera that can give me good view/ to be able to recognize faces within 10-20 feets. Also the SCD-2010 spec sheet list the camera with Pan and Tilt but it is not categorized under PTZ cameras category, so does it have any PTZ capabilities. I dont really need PTZ camera function but would consider buying one just for the fun of it but the other cameras would be fine with non-PTZ function.
As for the box camera, any recommendations? It would not be exposed to harsh weather condition, no direct sunlight and no exposure to rain. I am very very new to this and hope that I would get help from here.
Many thanks in advance
