URGENT: IP vs HD over analog for New Gas Station build

Recommended Posts

Hi - I'm trying to figure out what cameras to install for a new gas station we are building. I'm not a CCTV expert which is why I'm here. Basically I need to know if I should be using IP cameras or HD over analog (and hence run cat5 or coax cables). I need cameras inside the retail store (not big - 1200sqft) and cameras outside (include covering 4 fuel pumps).

 

I need to make a decision regarding coax or cat5 ASAP so any advise is appreciated.

 

Also - anyone have experience with optiview cameras? http://optiviewusa.com/

 

My current CCTV guy is recommending using HDover coax cameras from optiview (and run coax cables). I was doing a little research to make sure this is the best option.

 

thanks

I would go with cat 6 also and look into if by code in your area you need outdoor rated and or plenum rated cable. I know that there are specific requirements for fire blocking conduit from pump islands to main building.
