GuySabineABS 0 Posted March 17, 2010 Hi, I am in the process of installing a CCTV system in a new unit at my place of work. I will need a simple 8 static outdoor camera set-up. I have been looking into an Axis system, with Axis P3343VE cameras. I know Axis are on the budget side, but how do they compare to, for example, a Sony system? Plus, If any one can suggest an alternative your input would be most welcome. Thanks, Guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Guy. axis are far from budget side. but do you need to go ip. it depends on what you want your system for and how you wish to use it. i.e 8 external cameras. you could cut the cost down with 4 ip and 2 ptz cameras. less cameras more coverage. i would look at a hybrid system so you can mix standard and ip. and also this gives you the dvr to record which is better than using one of your works pc. i am sure you will get a lot of help on here if you can tell us what you are protecting. i.e car lot/pertrol station/office.

GuySabineABS 0 Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks for the swift reply Tom. I work at a small TV broadcast unit. We have 24 hour staff, who sit in front of a monitor wall where the CCTV monitor will be. We log all the CCTV in-house on PC loggers. The unit is 20m by 20m with two entrances (one main and a back entrance), a car park on one side, a poorly lit alleyway along the back side. I need 2 cameras to view people at the door and 4 to cover the area around the unit. Could you explain the benefits of an IP system, I guess this would enable remote monitoring. Thanks, Guy.

Hi guy. ip cameras will give you the best image pos. but at night they have draw backs. for a 20m x 20m unit i would use a hybrid system to have ip indoors and standard hi res cameras with ir lighting outdoors and 1 ptz to cover the carpark. i will pm you a demo.
