    Thanks for the advice. I have a question. I had planned on using multiple switches, with a run from each camera to the switch, starting at my office then branching off to the different areas of the building that needs cameras, just like branches off a tree trunk. Will this work? This is...

    I have a couple maintenance guys, so running cable and mounting cameras not a big issue. Open trusses overhead so pretty easy running cat5/6. I'm planning on just recording the motion events. Most of the warehouse is not heated or cooled. Summer temps will get max out in the 90's a couple of...

    I want to thank everyone for their input. Some of this is a little over my head, but I haven't found anything I could figure out if I study long enough! I'll contact DW and see what they have to say. Thanks again.

    This is what I'm trying to avoid by setting up myself. A friend had a "CCTV Expert Company" install a crappy system with crappy cameras at his business and charged him over $12,000!

    Hello fenderman, I have read the wiki a while back, and am rereading it tonight. Would I possibly be better off running 3 or 4 PCs, each with 12 - 15 cameras? I have plenty of space and do not care about electrical usage because I always have a $1,500 electric bill every month due to the air...

    I haven't given the budget much thought, it will cost what it cost. It would be nice to keep it under $10k. With that being said, I'm always looking for a bargain! I don't want a Cadillac if a Chevy gets the job done.

    I definitely want to go with a PC based system running BI. I do not need continuous record, just motion events. Hoping someone can point me to the right PC to buy, with the correct specs to support 50 plus cameras. Thanks

    I guess the answer is both. I will be recording employee / customer activity during the day when it is well lit, and of course have low light needs at night. I will definitely need 30 - 60 days of storage, the more the better, six months would be ideal.

    Hi, I own a small business that is located in a very large warehouse (250 feet x 550 feet). I want to replace my old DVRs and crappy cameras with an IP system. I have read a lot of posts about low cost systems. Cost is a concern, but not my primary concern. Primary concern is a stable...
