Hi everyone,
I am planning the camera installation for a new building, I have already thought of the cameras, I will install 20 cameras of the dahua 5442 series per floor, one switch per floor and a computer with BI to control all of them.
I have two doubts:
Is it possible to add a second computer to the network, also with Blue Iris, but with access to 5 cameras only ?
The idea is that the manager will have access to all the cameras in the main office. But a worker in another room could see 5 of those cameras.
Another question. I am going to add smoke detectors and I was wondering if there are POE detectors that could be connected to BI. In this way the installation would be super easy. But I have not found anything about it.
I have seen detectors which only work over Wi-Fi. Well, we will have Wi-Fi in the building, but I don't know if it's a good idea. Wifi AP can create multiple networks, and I could create an exclusive network for the detectors.
Then there are other sensors that work at frequencies like 433mhz to communicate with a base. And this base is the one that can have network cable. Dahua has this system.
I am completely lost with this. I asked my electrician and he told me to put wifi detectors, just for simplicity. I prefer to discuss it here before making any decision.
Thank you very much in advance for any opinion or advice.
