May sound crazy, anyone seen XVR that will support 64 quality cameras? Bad idea?

Gonna look at a business in a day or two but from what i was told on the phone 60 cameras are there now with a combination of coax and network. I'm not really interested (now that I'm retired) but my 1st thought was to pull all network cables. May could use the old coax as pull string or not. I'll know more when i see the place. The owner isn't very tech savy so.....

I don't mind looking over the place as it's not to far from where i live. His security sys is with a friend of mine. Gonna meet with his IT guy when we both have a chance.

I need to determine which DVT, XVR and or NVR yhey have vie the model number. I don't want to never return rheir request. Iy's OK to say it's outsire of my arear of work....but don't leave a customer hanging.

PE - this is a wharehouse turned into a Horror House. They have thick fog and crap. Only 3-4 cameras catch people comimg ang going.

It's really outside my expertise,

Yes. I'm gonna replace the outside cameras. Connect tham all to a NVR via network cable. They are all on coax (8 outside and 8 inside) and at least 1 power supply is bad. The biggist issue this place has is 4 different brand DVR/XVR/NVR syatems. Their IT guy has a mini server...(i'm unfamiluar with) he wants vms on. So the xvr is a no go. They have a dahua, GW, Uniview and an oem Hikvision. All the outside cams are siamise coax they want put on network cable. The place is a warehouse made ito a horror house. It's only open a few months a year. The inside cameras have difficulty due to the fog they create to make things scary. It's all dark inside except for 3 cameras that are for entrance/exit.
I almost wish I didn't look over the place and understand why they've had trouble getting a cam company to come out and work up a plan.

They may not like my proposal. They have 8 43 inch monitors. 4 don't work due to location and length from server room. hdmi over cat6 to the 4 that dont work. It's a mess. ... o and they do not have internet on their camera sys. They also asked about tying a few cams into their alm system via NO/NC contacts.

PS their it guy only works there 1 day a week. He has other companies he scoots around to on 4/5 other days.

My buddy has the contract on their alarm system and recomended they ask me to look it over. He's now on my shit list.

He likes the reciprocal revenue each month so tells each customer he can recomend a cam co. .... asshole.

And the alm guy is also friends with a large cam co that wouldn't touch it for less than 55-60 thousand. Thats about their average, 1000 per cam with NVR and monitor included plus dahua vms on a few computers. HDMI cables and exrention for remote mouse.

And he'd use 8mp 4k cams with 1/2.8 seneors he buys in bulk.,,,with big markup to customer.
