I have several customers with existing CCTV systems that want to utilize a webserver for viewing. Application would be as follows: pet boarding house has 6 cameras on the kennel runs. They would like to charge customers an extra $5/day for the ability to log onto a website, through a traditional browser.

 

Napco has a server that is limited to 5 users at a time.

 

I know bandwith can be an issue, but if the client has a T1 line or something, I would like to be able to login 10-15 users at a time.

 

American Dynamics has DVRs with software integration allowing login by typing an ip into the browser. So does Matrix, etc. but the DVRs are expensive.

 

I need a webserver allowing multiple user logins, and ideally some sort of administrative control over what cameras a specific login can see. i.e login 1 can view cameras 3 and 4, login 2 views camera 1, login 3 views all cameras, etc.

 

Tell me there is something that will work for me

upgrade the DVR to one that can handle the requirement. typical owner.......wants a 2000 dollar DVR for 200 dollars.

 

trust me, in the long run you'll be happier, owner will be happier, and more importanly, the client will get what they pay for.

 

if you go on the cheap or try to patch it you'll be sorry.........

The cheapest DVR that comes with IP based webview is one of the AD ones. The matrix one I know of is around $4k. I am looking for a third party webhost where I can hook up a video gateway to a router.
