geltrons 0 Posted August 25, 2015 Good day All i need your expertise to solve a connecting problem which is pretty weird, it is as follows we have to install CCTV system in a school which is having 5 blocks which are long apart. it is suggested by the management to install cameras and DVR individually in all 5 blocks. but the administrator situated in one block could watch all the footage and able to access and control all 5 DVR. We can run net work cable from this administrator building to all other blocks do anyone have the idea regards Thomson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted August 25, 2015 While I am no expert on networking & IP systems it seems to me that if centralised monitoring & control is required and networking infrastructure is in place then an IP system would be a no brainer. If you have decided (for whatever reason) on an analogue system , then given the low price of analogue DVRs your current plan may work out by using CVI/TVI.

geltrons 0 Posted August 28, 2015 Good Day Thank you for the reply can you explain the terms you said CVI/TVI regards Thomson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted August 28, 2015 CVI = composite video interface TVI = transport video interface These are both HD analogue systems. You could have a recorder with its associated cameras for each block & then network the recorders on the LAN back to the admin block. But really this situation is tailor made for IP cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
