New residential security system

[near sighted 0]

Hi,

 

I’m interested in installing a quality residential security system. Here is a list of desired items in the system.

 

• High resolution – face recognition up to 50 feet

 

• Day and Night vision

 

• Outdoor weather proof

 

• Excellent frame rate for both viewing and recording

 

• Internet accessible

 

• 3 camera locations. Some totally exposed to weather, some inside a garage.

 

• Network software (Luxriot?)

 

 

 

I’m guessing IP megapixel would be the best route so cameras would be on a separate CAT6 gigabit network with PoE. I already have a LAN but want to separate the bandwidth.

 

I like the IQeye Sentinel Series cameras, 2.0 Mpixel, but that’s allot of coin.

 

Thinking more along the Arecont Vision line, maybe AV2100-AI and AV3130. Trying to stay less than $800 a camera.

 

Any suggestions on what you might do different?

 

Lens suggestions would be helpful.

 

Finally a good place to shop?

 

 

Thanks for your ideas!

 

Best regards,

Brian

Go with the Arecont 3130's, add the housing, and 2 tamron lenses each.

 

As for the IP software, I've used Luxriot in the past, and I like it, how ever we switched to Exacq recently, and we like the user interface much better.

 

As for a place to purchase it, check the net for a decent price, but for the 3130's you won't be able to get one for $800 with the housing and lenses.

 

If you want to demo the Exacq software send me a pm and I can get you a link.

 

Other IP Manufactures for you to look at:

 

Milestone / OnSSI

Video-Insight

Avermedia

 

Best of Luck!

Thanks for the tip on Exacq software. It looks like just the thing to use. I can't send you a PM since I still have less than 10 posts, other wise I'd ask for the demo link.

 

I'll look at the lens you recommended too.

 

Thanks!
