Well friends, I am a new-bee and am setting up a survielance system in a new office. there will be around 20 or so cameras. 1. From the forums I understand that i use rg59 for video. and BNC Connectors. 2. What Should i use for power?? I understand that the cameras require 12v DC. Should i use a centralised power OR individual power adapters?? Do I get adapters with the Cameras?? 3. Should i use All cameras as PTZ cameras.?? 4. Will be setting up a DVR System. Amd 64 or P-IV with loads of Ram. The DVR Cards would be maybe Chinese. Wanted to Know wether Any software would work on the card other than the software provided?? also PTZ?? 5. Also wanted to Know how do i split the video Feed?? Should i use a BNC Splitter to split the feed?? One will Go to the DVR Card and One to a Switcher Which will be connected to the Directors Plasma. Is this the right way of doing this?? 6. I understand that the DVR software would allow to watch the cameras over the internet. So that the Boss can do surveilance or present the company setup from his laptop. I Hope I have a good setup. Please let me know. If I have all my questions answered in properly. Maybe I can make a tutorial for New-bee From SCRATCH. Also Give me links to any tutorials if there are. Thanks & Advance. Roopesh.

4 . Any specific reason to choose intel over AMD. The system wopuld be standalone DVR. The DVR Card should be software or Hardware based.?? The 8 channel card does it have a 8 BNC Connectors on the back?? I feel It has some 15 pin connector. How do i connect to that?? If on a budget What gv card should i go for and what would be approximate cost?? 4 channel or 8 Chnannel?? How many cards can i install in one System?? Should i Go for GV650??
