Hello all,
I currently have a large sized house. I plan on installing at least 30 IP cameras for security inside and outside the main building. Ethernet (cat 6) and power connections (normal wall outlet) are available at each point i want to install a camera at.
I would like advice regarding both the software and the hardware to setup the ip cams. I have not made any purchases.
First, I am not set on any specific brand of IP cams, however, quality and warranty are my concerns.
as stated above, i have a power outlet (220v) and an ethernet outet at each point i want a camera at. what is the best way of wiring the power and ethernet cable to the ip cam? I do not want a power adapter and ethernet cable sticking out from the wall to the ip cam. I want to wire the power and ethernet cable directly to the ip cam (from inside the wall) for asthetic purposes. So i need a cam with a built in power supply.
second, I would like to know what kind of compatible software that can run on a computer on the LAN with the following features:
1) Video streaming/remote viewing from tablets (android & IOS)
2) Motion sensing with FTP upload
3) VGA quality recording or above
4) compatible with at least 30 cameras (would like the option of adding more.)
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
