QNAP does not do licensing like VMS software does. You buy Qnap devices just like you do DVRs 2,4,8,12,16, channels and when you have to add more (say you have the 4 channel unit and you want to add a 5th camera you would need to add a second unit or upgrade to a bigger unit). I see this has a huge disadvantage with QNAP compared to VMS based systems. NAS VS NVR NAS= Network attached storage. You can use these as storage for NVRs or any computer for that matter. Some companys like QNAP add special features that allow basic NVR functions NVR = Network video recorder. Is used with VMS software to record IP camera and analog encoders. Some VMS can use NAS as a storage target.

OK what DVRs do you have and what is your budget?

Why do you want to do this? Why not just pull recorded video from the remote site when you need to review recorded video? This also depends on the capability of your DVRs. I have systems the you can do dual recording to two different system and they can also off load video at schedule times. Streaming continuously 47 DVR's over web will take a lot of bandwidth. Each site will be X amount of upload bandwidth and then the headend will need (X * number of sites) download bandwidth. This will not be cheap.

VideoIQ will not detect animals Mobotix will.

Well what that video doesn't tell you is all you need is a Aircard and a smart phone. Camera detects rule violation and you get a email clip if the alarm video. You watch the video and call the police or you 2-way voice and talk to the perp on at the site and tell them the police are on the way. If you want to take it to the next level you can sign up for video monitoring or video verification and have the monitoring company handle everything. Pro-active or Re-active solution it's up to you. But if you want to be Pro-active VideoIQ is the most cost effective solution for this setup.

Soundy watch the video and you will understand. http://www.thewireguys.tv/education

Mobotix M12 stands out but VideoIQ looks just like any other vandal dome and Mobotix dome looks just like a dome also.

That is what VideoIQ is designed to do.

Not really

Why not prevent the theft from happening?

Mobotix or VideoIQ will do the job. Watch this video on VideoIQ. http://www.thewireguys.tv/education

I suggested VideoIQ and someone suggested Mobotix. Response was to expensive and extractive to thieves.

What does your neighbor use to record that $500 camera?

Those look like fun to install. Raytech should have some products that will fit your needs. http://www.rayteccctv.com/product-selector.htm

Sorry about my spelling and grammar. They are obviously not my strong points but please don't discount my knowledge for CCTV and low voltage systems because of this. I am not trying to disrespect you I am just telling you what I know from 13 years in the voltage industry.

How long till they have these for CCTV? http://xrez.com/chi7_giga.html

This is funny you guys are all checking out Pelco D1 PTZ cameras and your looking at them from a Gigapixel camera.

I Qnap is web based only and local...... no thick clients CPU ●M-JPEG format (up to 12 channels): Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.0GHz or above ●MPEG-4/ H.264 format (up to 12 channels): Dual core CPU, 2.8GHz or above * For higher surveillance performance, please select more advanced PC models. Memory 2 GB or above Operation System Microsoft Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 Web Browser Internet Explorer 6.0 or above Network Interface 10/100/1000 Mbps Display Resolution 1024 x 768 pixels or above

Eh, MxEasy is easy and fast. Quick to set up and configure and intuitive to use. Shouldn't ever have to search weeks of video, if you're keeping up with things. Unlike traditional security systems, Mobotix has a decentralized approach to video surveillance. The cameras incorporate a high-speed computer and internal flash to enable all recording and storage to occur within the camera, reducing the need for a separate PC or DVR. Furthermore, all data is processed within the camera to lower network bandwidth, which maximizes robust features such as virtual PTZ and 360-degree hemispheric technology with panoramic view. All this on three frickin' watts, and no fan, heater, or iris ever needed. I have mine set up so it stores directly to my backup server, and the server forwards video streams to other machines where they are viewed, so the backup server is just an Atom with terabytes of storage. Thanks for the Mobotix how to..... We are Mobotix partners trained by Mobotix If you saw other VMS software you would agree their software is cumbersome. You don't have to tell me how good there products are but there software sucks, they know it and all of the dealers that I talk to all over the world know it. The cameras are very powerful and have great image quality but they need to make the software more end user friendly and intuitive.

I have the Q24 mounted on the front of my house with a Aviglon 1080P at my front door all recording on my Aviglon server. Aviglon will record the MJPEG image from Mobotix and will record what the Q24 is displaying. Since I have the Q24 wall-mounted I have it set to full uncorrected image and it works perfectly for my needs. Avigilon does not control the correction or PTZ in the camera only digital PTZ. Avigilon will record 24/7 or on motion events from the camera but will not use the cameras on-board storage. I have not tested the camera mounted on the ceiling with Avigilon.

What is your network work setup? What computer are you using? Are you viewing the cameras it EI only or VMS?

You are very competent dude, but both of these statements are false. I haven't tried Mobotix's ControlCenter, but MxEasy is just that. And Mobotix is megapixel from the ground up. Sorry MxEasy is not easy or fast. I will give you that Mobotix is megapixel from the ground up but they dont have HDSM, the search is slow. People forget how much time it takes to search weeks worth of video after the fact. Maybe it is easy for you because you haven't tried 50 other VMS but trust me there is a lot better software on the market then MxEasy. Most customers only use the system when something happens which could be every couple of months. If you don't use MxCC everyday you will forget how to use it. BTW.... I love the Mobotix product and if they had software like Avigilon they would be my number one.

You just opened a big can of stinky worms! Wait for it.... wait for it..... lol This is why the image is so much better. I have the cheap indoor dome hook up to the encoder and at full quality 30FPS there is 20Mbps stream coming from the camera. Only wish I had a good analog camera not this crap CNB camera

I would recommend looking at Mobotix's website for the minimum system requirements for the MXCC software.
