Non-permanent security/alarm system

[mova]

Hey guys.

I've crossposted this one from Alarm & Security systems since I believe it fits both places and I haven't got any replies on there yet.


I want to build a security system that is possible to move around. Like a temporary CCTV/security system you see on building sites and the like.

Needs:
- 3-6 cameras
- motion sensors (separate of the cameras)
- Lights triggered by the motion sensors
- A speaker giving a warning when the motion sensors trigger.
- An alarm-out function that I can configure as I want to. Possibility to send alarms to me or maybe even to an alarm central.
- UPS triggering alarm at external power loss
- Wireless connectivity to motion sensors/(some of the) cameras

I know my way around NVRs and DI/DO's. I have no idea, however, what should be the backbone of my system. I need to eliminate false motion alarms. So more motion sensors and a set of rules like "only sound alarm if sensor 1+2 are activated" are probably needed.
I can use a simple 4G router for outbound connectivity.

My questions therefore are:
- Am I looking for a capable NVR or should I use a PC running BlueIris or the like? Or something completely different?
- What kind of motion sensors should I look for?
- How can I configure a speaker to play a recording on command / on alarm?
- What kind of outbound alarm "protocol" is the most reliable? App notification? Email? Other? It needs to wake a person up in time for him to react

You should separate the two...use an alarm system in conjunction with a camera system.
blue iris can be integrated with zwave pir sensors and can send audio to cameras with speakers attached (you will need to power an amp) or via speakers attached to the pc...
If you use a 4g router you will have to figure out how you will access the video...most dont provide a routable ip...you can use hamachi or ngrok...

Thanks Fenderman.
But. . If pir sensors can be integrated with BI why would I need a separate alarm system? And which one?

So that you can have it call the police....depending on the value of the site you may want to use a video monitoring service.
