Well, this is absolutely nothing I can joke about. Your suggestions and advise have helped a great deal and I can assure you I'm very grateful. I am only trying to exploit as much possible options as possible so I could figure which one will be easier, more reliable and cost effective. Please pardon my ignorance.
I think the wired type with an NVR on each segment is best suitable. However, I still have a question, if you would permit me. Is it possible to use wireless NVRs to wireless IP cameras in each segment and then link them with fiber optics (network cables)?
Possible? Yes, certainly. Advisable? Under no circumstances.
I had a look. You realize their largest license is for 32 cameras and that costs $800? That is just for the software, and I doubt they have anything over Blue Iris which is $60 for 64 cameras (though you usually can't reach this number even if you try, because the computer won't be fast enough). These guys don't talk about hardware requirements that I could see.

Wireless and IP Cameras do not mix, a point to point bridge between buildings is nothing like a access point servicing multiple devices.. you always have to have a wire ran between the storage medium (HDD in the NVR) and the camera so nothing external can fuck up recordings.
SmartPSS is free client software that works with Dahua products, allows you to live view and playback recordings over the network and without a browser.. out of the box it's capable of displaying a grid of 36 cameras, you might be able to get more out with a custom designed grid.. ive had no need for that many cameras loaded up in it, im sure it would take alot of load just to display all those feeds.

Thanks very much. This is very helpful. I will look around if I can find the named brand around my location.
