shravank30 0 Posted October 11, 2013 Hi We wish to setup a 64 cameras 720P IP based CCTV system The cameras will be installed in 6 buildings, each having 6 floors. 2 cameras will be installed on each floor The Buildings are 50m apart in a straight line so the distance between the first and last building is 300 m We wish to record the feed from the cameras and also have live 24/7 display with monitoring which will be done in the first building only. The recording device can be kept at a central location also if required We wish to know the best way to achieve the above solution. We had thought of putting a switch on the 3rd floor of each building and connecting all the cameras in that building to that switch (To minimize cabling costs) and then interconnecting all the switch with cable and then ultimately take 1 cable to the viewing room wherein a PC decodes the feed and displays the images. The NAS or NVR for recording data can be placed in any location in any of the 6 buildings Is this a technically feasible and most cost effective solution or the members can recommend some other solution. Thanks for advising Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for advising Standard design principles subject to risk assessment. Install layer 2 smart switch with POE and multimode SFP interface on floor three of buildings two, three, four and five. Connect each of the above switches directly to the building one - floor three and connect to layer 2 smart switch with POE and four multimode SFP interfaces (or can be two separate devices) At this location install storage server. Install cameras to each local switch and connect client control/monitoring system in building one to the local switch. For higher risk levels it is good practice to support each switch and the storage server with online interactive UPS systems with extended run time battery packs. If the new network is to have (or may in the future have) remote access, integrate with access control, intruder/fire alarm or BMS consider installing Layer 3 switches.
