I have a client who owns a hotel that is comprised of 2 buildings each with 2 floors on both sides. They currently have 2 8 camera DVRs, running very low resolution cameras. Recently they have had several cars broken into, and while you can see it happening, you cant make anything out regarding the identity of the person. They are wanting to replace their system, (which has no name or model # on the DVRs anywhere) and put in something better. I suggested an NVR system such as the lorex. I realize thats not a commercial grade system, but they arent going to spend a ton of money. I priced out 2 of the 16 channel NVRs that both come with 16 MP cameras. That would put them at 32 cams which would cover the entire property, but after cabling and such, it came to about 10K. They are looking at maximum 7K.
So what I need is a solution for them that wont break the bank, but still provide the clairity and range to help stop these break ins. Who's got some suggestions? I prefer NVR for the simplicity of 1 cable and POE per cam.......but if thats what is making it cost prohibitive, I can deal with it not being.
