Multiplexing IP camera feeds on public view monitors

Recommended Posts

I'm testing Bosch (BRS) and Pelco (Digital Sentry) IP digital cctv systems for our school district. Does anyone know of a good solution to providing public view(information) monitors that can grab the streams off the network? We'll be using an autonomous network for cctv within a school location.

1. I think a kiosk type compact PC may be the answer, but we'd need software to show multiplexed feeds (pref up to 16) or sequence quad screens, etc.

2. It would be great to be able to pull down 4-6 analog 19" lcds and replace it with one 55" hidef monitor. That seems to lead to a problem of having enough "umph" to drive all the video and not have the images start growing mold on them.

 

Any ideas?

How many cameras and what resolution are you using? I would recommend you have a look at Avigilon. They are much lighter on CPU requirements and so it is easier and cheaper to do client machines. Not to mention your overall system cost less and will be easier to install and maintenance.
