iestx 0 Posted October 15, 2009 I am needing a 8-channel h-264 dvr with 8 cameras that will be outside where there is some light around the camera locations so probably would like to use box cameras with housings , dont have a budget looking for best quality and reliability. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crirvine 0 Posted October 17, 2009 You need to deside if you want a stand alone or pc based dvr. As for cameras I think you waould like these (JVC 540 TVL Color Camera, TK-920U) and either auto iris 2.8 to 8 or auto iris 5 to 50 lense pelco weather proff enclosures and a 16 channel 24 volt ac power supply that way you can expand or have plenty of reserve power simeese rg 6 with 18 for power. That should get you started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted October 17, 2009 Lenses selection is going to be the main concern. Do you want wide angle to increase peripheral vision, and suffer with distance distortion? If you need to see in to the distance then what mm lens is going to be needed for that view. Facial recognition requires non wide angle lenses, and you will need zoom lenses.
