cesperon 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Hi All... I wanted to introduce myself and apologize right off the bat for my ignorance. I am just learning about CCTV equipment and may ask some stupid questions. I am smart enough to realize just how ignorant I am.. so hopefully I won't make too big of a fool of myself, but if I do- forgive me, I am trying to learn. I am here to learn because I am trying to help my aunt set up an inexpensive yet reliable CCTV system in her horse barn. She would like to be able to see and hear what is going on when a mare is soon to foal, keep an eye on a new foal or watch a sick horse from her home. Internet access is also something she would like to be able to use- so her kids in college can watch the births, see the new babies or peek in on their fav horses. Network or DVR security is not a big concern- she is not worried about anyone hacking in to look at the horses. Actually she would prefer it was easier to get in... Anyways- that's my story- looking forward to learning from you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VST_Man 1 Posted March 11, 2009 I am a Sheboygan native.......class of 1978 South. go with; (1) Avermedia 1304netsata with a 500Gb hard drive (4) http://www.supercircuits.com/Security-Cameras/Dome-Cameras/CD33W?intcmpid=71 (1) microphone network the above and your set. - do you have internet in the barn? If not, use this to brigde it http://www.wirelessnetworkproducts.com/index.asp?PageAction=MFGSEARCH&ManfID=1146 I've done barns so keep everything cheap and simple. Use a arrow staple gun to attach the rg to wood. you can mount these camera's at face level as long as you protect the cable from the hose..........you know the deal and if you don't your Mee'ma does. Microphone can be mounted center isle as it will produce great background noise from the entire barn...........as long as the barn is smaller than 8 stalls. If bigger you may need to make the audio movable. you can mount the recorder in just about anywhere as long as it is weaterproofed......... camera's have IR.....will work great in a 12 x 12 stall remeber, keep it simple......cheap.........and you'll be happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
