This is happening to me now, is it something I am doing wrong?

The camera would be mounted at 12', so approx. 8' above the registers. There is about a 6' separation between the registers. I don't necessarily need to see money as much as I need to see what the items are being purchased.

Thanks for the tip. I have another question to go along with the camera locations. Can I shot two registers with a single camera from above? Is that practical? Thanks, JW

Thank you Rory, I really appreciate that. Jack

Well I can't post a link.. and I can't add attachments for some reason. Getting an error. I found a bigger / cleaner floorplan and I will add it as soon as I can.

Woops.. .need five posts to post a link... stand by

Try this one guys... Its a link to a pdf file. Im not sure how to post that here, but at least you can read it. If someone can tell me how I will be happy to do so.

I am in the process of opening up a new business and need some advice on best camera locations. I have attached a pdf of the floor layout. I want to protect both the outside and inside of the building. http://www.wilburnfamily.us/Floorplan.pdf Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Jack

Thanks for the reply. Here is what I had planned to do if I start with a 16 camera setup. 4-5 outdoor cameras. Day/Night (possibly 1 PTZ) 11-12 indoor cameras. 3 or these would need to be day/night (possibly 1 PTZ) The 3 indoor day/night cameras need to be of good quality as they will be monitoring the registers and the entry door at a distance of 10-15'. The others can be good quality dome cameras (as the all can be) with decent quality and will be used to monitor isles at a distance of 10-30'. I have no real world knowledge of the quality of cameras, so I am not sure on the price. I am not wanting to go cheap and lose quality. Is $150-200 per camera a reasonable number? I realize the PTZ would be far more expensive then that. Analog is fine, but I am wiring the building with Cat 6e to be able to convert over to IP if the need arises. Cameras are my biggest hang up right now, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jack

Delete this post Reply with quote Edit/Delete this post Hello everyone, I am brand new to the board, so don't bash me to bad for not searching because I have been doing a lot of that and I plan on doing a lot more, but I need some advice. Long story short I need a good security system for a new business I am opening up. My problem is that I really need more then 16 cameras. I could start with 16 and get by but I would like a system that is expandable. I have been leaning towards PC based systems and and like to use Linux if I can find a good card and software to support it. So my questions are... What are some good cards that will allow me to expand beyond 16ch. What software will support the suggested cards. Should I considering standalone and stack? If so, what software will support that. Thanks in advance, Jack
