Hey guys,

Building a new system for a hotel.

16 cams. I was thinking 480/480 (might change if the price is high) and definitely need Web View/Remote View.

So question is geovision, avermedia or a dedicated DVR system?

I have always use geovision, and i like them, but since the price of this gig will be high, i want to cut down some places.

FYI:
Cams: C420MDVAIDC ... Arm Electronics. google them and visit page 17.
Remember i need the varifocal because the hallways of the hotel are long so i need to focus them. btw, open to suggestions.

Another question. RG59 (siamese) or Cat 5e with baluns?

PS: open to suggestions / criticism.

Thanks

I don't use geo,or below 480line camera's,however my rule of thumb is if your recording at 640x480=at least 480line camera's,704x480 use 530 and up,720x480=540and up.To wow! your customers or for good facial recognition,use at least 480lines,I hope this helps.

so what do you use? what DVR card?

What kind of Dome 480 tvl do you use? ... something below 150?

Thanks

If it is a exixting hotel!!

generally hotels have wireless enabled (wi-fi ) for internal WAN;


hence wireless systems are nice ..avoid data cabling!!

If good receiver used, cameras can talk thro' 5-6 walls!!!

Same we implemented for one of our client !!!
Kalp.
