I am trying to spec out DVR/cameras for a large warehouse installation.
The warehouse is about 300k sq feet (600' x 480’).
We need reasonable coverage of 24 bay doors (i.e., we don't have to be able to see inside all the trailers, just forklifts going in/out and possible theft of products (large cardboard cases). We need coverage of all the pedestrian entries, and a few cameras’ in strategic interior locations. We hope to keep about 30 days worth of footage from all cameras.
I prefer the idea of an embedded OS, so a hard drive failure won’t make me take time to reinstall windows (also, one less machine to manage updates, antivirus, etc.)
I’d like recommendations on cameras and DVRs. At this point, a 16 camera system is a minimum. I’d like to explore a 32 camera system, but I won’t be against 2 16 camera systems. The DVR will ideally allow several different classes of users view live/recorded video.
What other information would be helpful to make recommendations?
