Hi

Is there anyway to convert a BNC Camera to work via IP as well.

Thanks for any advice

www.acti.com

and many more. I'm a big fan of ACTi. You get alot of bang for your buck. Take a look at the ACD2100 single channel encoder. It also has an looping output so you can keep it running into your analog system.

thanks for the advice, what is the cheapest way to do this, its a 16 camera system and need to keep the cost as low as possible, but do need it connected to analogue system as well as ip.

thanks

Most cost effective way would be to bring it into a distribution amp like the GE KTS-250-16(16 1x4 distribution amp) and run it into the ACTi ACD2400(16ch encoder).

Or put 16 ACD2100's in a RMK2000 rack kit. That gets pretty expensive, though alot cheaper than most others out there.

ACTi also offers a free 16ch recording software - which though basic is much more robust than other free softwares I've seen.

Most digital video recorders support IP access either via software or a web browser. The better quality ones all have loop through terminals as well.

Depending on why you want to go IP why not get a hybrid similar to below.

There is plenty of other brands can use as well.
