CCTV approx 20 channel NVR system

[Mokojumbie 0]

Hi,

 

Firstly, i've found this website really useful. It has some great suggestions and information about CCTVs. Thank you. I have a few questions.. hopefully you can help me.

 

I'm thinking about setting up a system which will consist of approx 2 external and 18 internal IP cameras. It will cover a total area of approx 15k ft in a warehouse/store. I'm wondering what the recommended height is if you are to mount the cameras on the walls (12ft or higher?), what to look for in terms of specs to cover more area etc (hopefully, to reduce the amount of cameras i will need) we were looking at the vivotek fd814. The image quality will need to be decent so they can see the faces and movement.

 

For the NVR we were thinking the Qnap 5020. Would you know if we can integrate it with our website. For example.. go to .. www.cars.com\camerasystem. and it would bring a login for the clients .. and to have it go to a specific camera dependent of the login.

 

Any recommendations, suggestions etc would be helpful.

 

Thanks again.

Sorry I don't mean to hijack your post, but I do have a related question. Does anyone what are the better cameras to work with Qnap systems? Thanks.

I tried to sell a car restoration client on a system like this where the customers could log in and view the progress of there cars. I never got the job but I thought it was an interesting idea.

For camera height, don't forget about serviceability. You don't want to be renting a lift every time you have a problem.

Thanks for the responses..

 

The wireguy do you know if it's possible to use qnap with custom websites? if not qnap which system would you recommend.

I put the camera's where they need to be.

 

It gets me in trouble because a lot of time is used to go the exta mile to get them right.

The other companies get in and out fast because time is money.

I loose a lot of money and sometime's do not get paid but i do try and get it right.

 

Now about hight.

 

I actually take one of our camera's and power it up off a little setup monitor i use, stand up where the camera is and you will learn a lot.

It is a must i say for your question, get the right tool for the job. Indispensable

 

Also use Dome camera's with a lens 2.8mm to 12mm really helps a lot to adjust for what you want.

Or a bullet 6mm t0 50mm for longer shots.

Most of the time do not look at a good picture with a big field of view, look at what asets you are trying to protect and choke it down for detail of this.

Looking at big nice picture's without the detail of what you need is usless.

 

Just call me i will do it for free
