Live Viewing of 26-30 IP Cameras

Recommended Posts

I have a slight issue with a client of mine. They have a Digital Sentry setup by pelco/schnieder and the DS Controlpoint software is a MAJOR resource hog. If you stream 4 cameras on one monitor it pegs my machine to almost 100% CPU

 

I have about 18 Cameras at one site and ControlPoint is pointed to 2 other systems w/ 8 or so cameras as well. I was able to play with other Freeware (genius) and it worked ok wasnt successful at spanning 6 monitors with it but the load for 12 cameras was dramatically less no glitching and things were streaming real time. So the issue is definatly software related.

 

Are there devices or a better way to stream the cameras say directly to a tv via wireless and maybe a android dongle or find a couple old mac mini's? Or is there some interesting new industry technology that would work. Cameras are a blend of Axis, Pelco and ONVIF.

 

I have no issue running the 8 or so cameras off DS ControlPoint and using the current machine which btw is a quad core xeon with decent ATI Cards in it to push to the monitors/tv. And the cameras that i can connect to directly using other devices.
