ccchr 0 Posted January 20, 2016 Hello Everyone! I have to install a security system to 3 separate buildings that are about 300 ft. apart. Each building requires about 10 cameras each. Should I 1. Buy 3 separate NVRs + 10 Cameras each or 2. Buy 1 NVR, 2-3 switches connected by SFP (between two of the buildings) and 30 cameras My gut feeling is Option #1, but it would be nice to get some expert advice. Thanks!

GH75 0 Posted January 21, 2016 We would probably install a couple NVR's at the head end, and send the cameras back via point to point wireless devices. We use Ubuiqiti. You could also install an NVR at each building and stream the sub feed back to one building for central monitoring. Use the same wireless devices. How do you plan on wiring the buildings together? Is there conduit connecting them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minni1986 0 Posted January 21, 2016 Either method works for the first method using three different NVR would be great because no framerate loss, unless you have an unlimited budget and willing to spending more. it is almost cheaper to buy 3 seprate NVRs the second method would work, just run basically only one cat5e/6 wire and make sure to POE 1000/gigabit switches. As mentioned by GH75, you could link all the NVR to view in one central spot, this is the benefits of IP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
