Help with a new setup - Marble Shop

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

Been doing some online research and wanted to get your input with all the options out there.

 

Basically setting up surveillance for a marble shop. Need cameras that hold up to dust well. Putting 3-4 indoors and 3-4 outdoors.

 

Looking for:

- Minimal wiring, POE would be great

- Night/Day capable

- Reasonable frame rate

- 720P + would be great

- Access via smartphone

 

I want to spend under $2,000 for the equipment. Let me know what you guys think!

One of these: Dahua DVR like Qvis or Gen IV

Eight of these: CNB VCM-24VF

Add a sufficient amount of Cat5e cable and termination, and you're good to go.

 

You won't get 720p for that price.

Thanks Soundy! Also a fellow Vancouverite

 

I've been looking for a POE system hooked up to a computer.

For a commercial security systems with that number of cameras, I wouldn't recommend doubling-up function on an existing system - you want a dedicated recorder for the task, whether analog or IP.

 

The cameras suggested are extremely versatile, very good quality, and you'll have a hard time finding anything better for twice the price. They're vandal-resistant domes, flush- or surface-mountable; IP66-rated, so they're well-sealed against dust and water; they have a 2.8-10.5mm zoom, so they give a lot of range of adjustment; they're dual-voltage so there's no problems with ground loops using baluns; and they're among the best out there for low-light performance, especially in the price range.

 

They're analog, so no power-over-ethernet, but the combined balun/power units (the VPS) and the power-through baluns make hooking it up essentially the same: just terminate the run with an RJ45, and plug it in.

 

I like IP systems, but for the budget, you're probably not going to find the quality you need in the quantity you want - you're looking at probably $500 and up *per camera* to get into megapixel that will come close to the CNB camera's specs (aside from just resolution) . Start with a hybrid DVR and the wiring scheme shown, and you can easily replace cameras later with IP/megapixel.

I wouldn't order those patch cables from easterncctv. I just returned 25 of them. They all had loose bnc connectors and a slight wiggle caused flickering in the image.

^That brings your cameras in around $2000 (for only three of each)... but you still need the recorder.

Actually, all are IP cameras and the software is included!

 

What do you think of the tech spec and brand?
