lordchickengod 0 Posted March 24, 2021 My small farm buildings need some security to mitigate thieves. Since I have to wire LAN cable to farm, so I think it's a good idea to enabling the ability to use the internet at farm building via access point. So please kindly answer, Can I connect the equipment according to the diagram below? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted March 24, 2021 Hi. No that would create a unstable system second is using hikvision nvr .... out of date and unreliable To limit transmission problems and cable feed costs I would remove the switches in farm 1 and 2 and use a Poe nvr 8 way at each farm. More reliable also cameras still working if one nvr goes down and is a cheaper option and use vms in office to view and control the system Other option is HD analog system ... still same resolution as IP but cable distance far greater .... run cable direct from office to each camera location ( you can get 4 camera feeds down 1 cat cable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason for NVR must be in the office because the thief will have a hard time stealing HDD (in NVR). The office has 1 people reside in it, always, while the Farm has no people especially at night. And that 1 people can not be asked to patrol the farm. The farm building is pretty open, easy to get in and out compared to the office building. So If I use 2 x POE NVR in 2 of farm buildings, The thief can steal it (HDD included). Then I will have no proof to the police officer. Analog system has been used in 1st farm building and already got stolen. So my new system I change it to IP system to minimize cable cost and be able to record it in NVR that is in a safer place. Please advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lordchickengod 0 Posted March 24, 2021 Thank you very much for answering I will look into vms, What is it by the way and how much for it? I mean new system will change to IP (instead of analog), My English is not good. Equipment will be bought after finish planning/design. I am located in Thailand, Farm1 is an insect farm, Farm2 is fish (Climbing Perch). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted March 24, 2021 Hi. VMs ... video management ... it is free with most dvr/nvrs now cms also hikvision is also behind others in this software and is complicated but not as efficient as others analog is now just as good as IP and it will save you a lot of money .... no switches .... less cable and cheaper cameras .... don’t go any less than 5mp .... analog goes upto 4K these are best recorders on the market currently both in software and app application http://en.tvt.net.cn/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
