DVR Recommendation

[mobiledynamics 0]

Hello -

 

I have 3 sites I want to monitor via IP.

In theory, the 3 sites would have 2-3 cameras each.

 

All of them would be sent to a DVR over IP.

 

I don't have a issue with any hardware we need to build the DVR.

 

We are a IT firm and have 3 facilities within the USA. I'd like to start monitor *our cages in our datacenters*. It will be nil to nary I would ever need the footage, but I'd like to have the ability to have it...

 

Can anyone recommend various pricepoints on software options for the DVR. The one thing I do care is that the software is robust with decent GUI. Not a ~roll you own~ sort of software.

You would use a NVR not a DVR with IP cameras.

 

I would not recommend streaming 24/7 over the web it's better to have local storage or cameras with built in storage like Mobotix. http://www.mobotix.com/eng_US/

Actuallt our IP network is *one* but internal within the 3 sites.

 

Analog/coax I'm open to as well.....but we're so ~IP~ centric.

 

In a former job, we just logged into via *IP* to the client software that was connected to a DVR.

The only ones I've used were a Honeywell as well as some local roll your own setup....with their rebranded version of CMS viewer

I would look at Milestone software, they are offering 8 cam software free for the first year, it can support many IP Cameras and is easy to set up. You can download it and play with it with any web/laptop cam
