fowzan 0 Posted November 3, 2013 hi, i have been trying to figure out a way to use a simple double pole single throw switch as an input alarm for the camera. what i want is that the camera starts recording when the switch has been turned on and the recording is stopped when the switch is switched off. please note i am switching the camera recording state not the power on/off state. will this be possible if i use the alarm in relay mode and initially put it in normally open? will this create any problem or something? and i have tested a microphone as input for the Line IN on the camera. the microphone is an active microphone and has Line OUT. the audio is still too low. is there any way i can increase the loudness of the audio? what would be the best way to record the footage and store for a long time. i am looking for maximum storage option more than 48Tb. what would be the best solution? NAS, NVR, WorkStation? and does the clarity of the video decrease if i increase fps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fowzan 0 Posted November 3, 2013 Hi. which camera do you have ??? I think 48tb is over kill ...... alarm record ...... few years. got a 3mp fullhd camera. http://www.lgecommercial.com/security-en/products/network-product/box-camera/lg-LW352---LW355 and the application requires recording in FullHD at atleast 10-12fps. and the camera is going to record 16hrs/day. and the setup consists of 10 identical cameras. thats the reason i am looking for such high storage as the backup period required is also quiet high. can you assist me with some good VMS too? and i also need help with recording the footage. each time an event triggers i want a new file to be generated. is that possible? and i want to playback this footage on normal media players like VLC. what would be the simplest solution for that?
