Welcome.... What drew you to the IC Realtime product?

Avigilon is releasing their appearance search soon: YwyvVziR7oA

This is not normal and I highly doubt is a Avigilon issue. I would call support and have them run a bug report.

True BUT the Chinese government actually owns Hikvision not just controls them.

Make sure you have done your POE calculations to make sure your switches can supply enough power to all of your cameras. Also I would recommend using Star topology over daisy chaining your switches.

And Hikvision is owned by the Chinese Government.

Genetec can do this with cloud archiving feature. You don't have to worry about hardware but you will pay for it.

If your looking at Hikvision you should understand and be be comfortable with the fact that they are owned by the Chinese government http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/chinese-supply-cctv-cameras-britain-sparks-security-concerns-1581595 SADP is Hikvision's discovery tool

So you have HD IP cameras and you want to add HD analog cameras? Axis does not have HD encoders. Why not just add another HD IP camera like the Q1615 Mk II which supports upto 120FPS in 720P mode. FTUGCfQ0jZM

Here is a small dome camera with HDMI output http://www.axis.com/us/en/products/axis-m3045-v

Hello everyone! We have some stock Avigilon cameras that we need to move to make room for the new line of cameras. Here is what I have for sale right now: [Quantity of 4] Avigilon 2.0-H3A-DO1 (These are 2MP (1080P) outdoor domes with analytics built into the cameras) $450 each - $1600 for the lot [Quantity of 1] Avigilon 1.3L-H3-DO1 (These are 1.3MP outdoor dome with lightcatcher technology) $300 These cameras come with the balance of the warranty which is about 1 year. Please PM with any questions. Will ship to USA only.

SOLD

I see the H3 line going away after the H4 SL line starts to ship next month. H3A and H4 have the same analytics but the H4 has more processing power and better design.

I haven't used the Axis unit in a while. Is it ActiveX or HTML5?

Avigilon embedded access control unit would work very well for this. You can expand it to 16 doors and no server/computer is required for the database as the webpage is embedded into the controller. You can access the system from any web browser from your computer, ipad or cell phone. igJMi7nd_II

You can use something like this unit. Takes a single HDMI input and can send that to 4 monitors over a single cat5/6. Also has a loop output for local display. I haven't used this unit below but we have done this many times for the same reason you are.

Are you looking to display the matrix view of all the cameras or do you need to just show a single camera full screen on the monitors?

Well if you don't require 30FPS Avigilon's PRO cameras are hard to beat when it comes to image quality. Resolution options are 4K,4.5K, 5K, 6K, 7K. They use crop frame and full frame sensors with Canon EF and EF-S mount lenses. Image quality is awesome. If you need 30FPS I would look at AXIS cameras as they don't have a bandwidth cap and you can turn the compression level to zero which will get you the bit rates you are looking for.

Best at what? Lowest bandwidth? Low light performance? Formfactor?

What type of customer do you have that is using Qognifys VMS? That is some big bucks for that solution.

I have a lot of experience with many professional VMS platforms and IP cameras. There is very good software on the market you just need to figure out which platform is right for you.

Avigilon's ES cameras might be a good fit as you don't need to have a server onsite for these to work. Also Genetec has a very nice cloud camera solution where you also don't any servers on site. The Genetec solution is really nice as you don't have to manage any port forwarding or VPNs. To access all your sites you just log into a web page to view all your cameras all over the county.

http://www.3vr.com/ is another option to look at

Nobody is using it becuase it is extremely expensive and not very reliable in the real world. Check out http://fstbm.com/ but keep in mind you will need cameras and a VMS.
