Hi everybody, I started working in a new company where they need to improve the cctv system, but i do not know anything exept what i learned this days. In the cctv system there are like 18 cameras and want to add 11 1.3mp IP cameras more. All cameras are connected to de same swtich and the same with all the servers ( dns, dhcp, file, etc. that is very bad and need to be improved too, but then). The analogic cameras has its own encoder and then conected to the LAN as IP cameras. The cctv server is a IMB xeon e5310 with 3gb ram with a windows server 2003 and running genetec omnicast 4.8. The question i have is which is the bandwidth that this NVR supports ( is well called it NVR?). Sorry for my english and my lack of knowledge about the topic. Thanks in advance. regards.

Very much thanks, i checked the cameras before buying. But what do you mean with "is also running the directory server", what is that directory server? Are u meaning that is running other stuff and it is not a dedicated nvr? Do you recommend a migration to security center? why? Which software will u choose considering that money is not problem and u want to handle 30 cameras (and maybe next 60 cameras)? Thanks again.

Thank you for your response. Hugs

The cameras are in the same network. All network cards and switchs are 1Gb, and the utp is 5e. So in conclusion i can connect the number of camera that the network and software support (genetec omnicast 4.8 )? And other quiestion about the network, is it necessary to have physically separate networks (with routers) or is it enought with VLANs? Thanks thanks.
