mpm 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm designing a surveillance project, for monitoring some road intersections (same city, but independent systems) and i need some hints. This will run 24/7 with motion detection, and the customer wants a good quality, that's why i chose a HDTV cam. My project is composed like this, for every "recording station": - 1x Camera Axis P1346-E - 1x 32GB SDHC Class 10 - 1x PoE switch (DLink) - 1x WiFi access point (DLink) the idea is to make the camera record 24/7 on the SDHC card, overwriting the oldest data; when needed, an operator can reach the recording station and, with a wifi laptop, he can connect to the camera and check the recordings. the recording time, according to the axis calculator tool, should be around 5 days with 32GB. i just need 48 hours, so this is acceptable. is this possible? do i need a separate NAS/NVR to record the video, or is recording to SDHC an acceptable use? a good NAS/NVR will raise the price of about 500-600€ for each station, so i'd prefer to avoid it. have i forgot something, or do you have better suggestions for this application? thanks in advance for your hints!

tomcctv 190 Posted May 17, 2012 the recording time, according to the axis calculator tool, should be around 5 days with 32GB. i just need 48 hours, so this is acceptable. hi. this is one of the times that calculators dont work. at a road intersection motion detect will not work. it will at night (low traffic) an operator can reach the recording station and, with a wifi laptop, he can connect to the camera and check the recordings. so everyday someone needs to drive to camera and download footage ???? getting network to the camera will be best. record at monitoring location and be able to monitor 24/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpm 0 Posted May 17, 2012 hello, this isn't supposed to be a real "surveillance" system. the customer wants to have the possibility, in case of emergency, to download the footage and check what happened. the situation, most likely, will be in case of accident, or vandalism, so they hope this will happen very rarely, not everyday! I already suggested an online solution, but sadly it's out of their budget, so i had to think about something different, and this is the only idea i had.

tomcctv 190 Posted May 17, 2012 hello,this isn't supposed to be a real "surveillance" system. hi a camera looking at anything is a surveillance system. the customer wants to have the possibility, in case of emergency, to download the footage and check what happened.the situation, most likely, will be in case of accident, or vandalism, so they hope this will happen very rarely, not everyday! without any monitoring you will have the risk of the camera being down when needed or lens has crap on it . how are you going to power the camera ???? I already suggested an online solution, but sadly it's out of their budget, so i had to think about something different, and this is the only idea i had. lots of ways to get live view from remote sites...... these will be city cameras. do you have hotspots or 3-4g none of which are expensive.

mpm 0 Posted May 17, 2012 hi a camera looking at anything is a surveillance system. Sorry for my syntax error, i'm sure you got the idea anyway. without any monitoring you will have the risk of the camera being down when needed or lens has crap on it . true, i haven't talked to the customer about this. I'll do as soon as possible. how are you going to power the camera ???? PoE hub, connected to 230v. lots of ways to get live view from remote sites...... these will be city cameras. do you have hotspots or 3-4g none of which are expensive. please, can you give me some examples for these 3g hotspots, and some other ways to get live view from remote sites? the 3G hotspots will require a monthly subscription with the mobile company, right? Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
