Big fat bundle of coax. 80 cams installed What next?

[lkyoldsun 0]

80 cameras (non-hd) for a retail facility. I think they're all analog, and they all terminate in a single big bundle of coax, ready to connect to equipment. WHICH EQUIPMENT?

 

Need to have redundancy and a couple months recording time, with ability to save clips of the occasional incident for a couple years.

 

cheap and reliable- seeking best value.

 

 

suggestions appreciated!

Is the coax siamese cable? It would have two wires (red/black) run along the main coax. Also, is the coax terminated with BNC connectors? For a couple months recording time, I would use two 32-channel and one 16-channel DVR with 8TB of storage each set to motion record. This is not the recommended way, but will probably be cheapest.

Reduce 80 cams to thin cable I guess there are two way would be better, one is twist cable or fiber cable. I would like take fiber cable personally.

 

Then, for Redundance, which is incoporate NAS or RAID something to back up. As for clip function which depends on DVR and/or NAS functions.
