johnmaclean 0 Posted June 3, 2011 I am trying to configure a system for a industrial building (roughly 100x30) - only 3 areas of concern (front entrance, side entrance and back entrance) - however would also like to view some activity in the surrounding yard (although facial recognition is not as much of a concern since the real danger is if they get to the door).... I've used vivotek in the past - specifically the 8362 - which worked well since it can withstand the cold winters here - but have only used it in a single camera configuration. Would ideally like a suggestion on cameras, and a recording system that allows for local and remote storage... I know this is a bit vague....but just trying to get started here....

Soundy 1 Posted June 15, 2011 If you're happy with the Vivotek in the past, might as well stick with what works for you. Personally, I prefer a dome enclosure for being more tamper-resistant. As for a recording system... well, these have onboard SDHC, so you've got some edge recording there... what sort of budget are you looking at for other local recording? A basic NVR like something from Synology or QNAP may be appropriate, or you might toss something together from a spare PC. Remote recording could use a similar NVR, possibly via VPN, although bandwidth could be an issue... really depends on what's available for an internet connection.

lely09 0 Posted June 15, 2011 What are you thinking for budget? I would personally recommend the CNB Monalisa VCM-24VFH. Many people recommend this camera and from personal experience it work great. I live in a area which gets very cold and these cameras have no problem standing up to the heat. They also give a really nice picture. Use a quality cable-not the cheap stuff, good power supply (Altronix), and a solid D1 DVR that does true D1 (120fps). I think with a setup like this you will be very satisfied. If you are looking for more then the best direction is NVR with megapixel cameras (much more expensive). Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
