Hey Folks, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm an ol' hounddog and I'm not the best with the computer so bear with me please...
At my business, we have a property with one main office/warehouse, and two smaller buildings as a metal and workshop. Take a look at my diagram, if you please. This system would consist of four cameras indoor, 14 cameras outdoor. They'd need to be running at night with low-light. I would prefer them to be high resolution.
Our main server room is in the very left of the image by our front sales counter. So all the cameras in our back areas would have fairly long runs. Would you all anticipate having to put a PoE Extender/Repeater/Switch midway about where the back wall of the main building is? Or will I still be in range on the cable length to avoid the 100m cable limit?
So 18 PoE Cams
Several hundred feet of raw cables, terminations, etc.
PoE Injector/Extender (maybe)
Main NVR in Server Room connected to our existing 32ch switch? (for our existing network, we have about 25 workstations).
Where should I be looking for best equipment for the price, including installation? I've got an IT company we hire to maintain our little server closet and network, but it's pretty low-key, low-tech.
Any information helps, all of your feedback helps me, just don't wanna screw myself on this! Thanks again.
