Need Help on Designing CCTVs along 15km stretch

[missmimi 0]

Hi everyone,

 

We are planning to install cameras along a 15km stretch river.

Initially we plan to have one IP camera on a pole at every 1 km along the river.

The ip cctv recording server & gigabit network switch will be placed at the end of the 15km stretch, with 15 units of outdoor 3MP IP CCTV.

 

What kind of cabling type and method suit the best for cameras? Fiber optic? What is the best way to run the fibers?

Or does wireless solution work?

 

And also the right power solution for the cameras?

 

Would like to get everyone's advise and suggestions on the best reliable solution and robust design.

 

Hope to hear more from everyone...

 

Thanks in advance.

If there is no power on site you will need possibly dual solar/wind turbine.

 

I would suggest that you might need a minimum of 2 cameras at each site (one static + one PTZ)

 

Most reliable transmission being drop and insert fibre, but wireless is possible depending on the terrain.
