I have a customer that is looking to be able to view his cameras on the internet, he now has 4, but is looking to expand to 5 or 6 cameras later. The person who setup his cameras has all of the coax running to an upstairs closet, into a multiplexer that puts all 4 cables into one coax and then he can view his cameras on the tv anywhere in the house on channels 21 - 24. Also, in the future he is going to get a wireless pad, something like this: http://www.amx.com/new.product.page.cedia.05.asp?product=modero10in (not sure if you can view the details unless you setup an account. But the overview of the pad, is that is a touchscreen, and will hook up to his security system to control his heating and cooling, security and be able to view his cameras on it too. Mjpeg will be the only way to view the cameras with this device.
My questions are, is the Geovision card the best bet for this? Also, is there a demultiplexer that can split the 4 combined signals into 4 different channels so that I can setup his pc to be the video server with this card? That way I won't have to move his pc to the upstairs closet to connect to the 4 CCTV coax feeds.
Also as a side note, the person that put his cameras in is recommending this box http://www.vivotek.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=95 to connect to his cameras. A DVR would have to purchased separately to be able to record the video.
Thanks for your help.
