  1. I'm looking to get 24 hd-sdi cameras. 16 of them are replacing analogs at a warehouse. Also looking to get a dvr or two to connect them and be able to access online and phone. If you're a distributor or dealer please PM some info. Im located in houston, tx. Would love suggestions to any online places too if there's any. Thanks!
  2. My buddy's warehouse is currently using 16ch analog system that he wants to upgrade to IP b/c of the better image quality. He asked me to help him upgrade it since I'm going to be helping him redo the network in place now. Did some research on here but just want to make sure I am understanding everything. I have done a 4ch cctv install for my business and it the dvr setup on that was tricky, but I figured it out. Now, budget is around 6-8k upwards to 10k if it's needed but hoping to stay around 6-8k or lower. Probably around 6 cameras outside and the rest inside. The system in place now has wires already ran to the cameras but I'm assuming if I go with IP cameras, it's easier to go with POE cameras? So basically, buy 16 POE cameras, an unmanaged 16 or 24port POE switch, and build a PC to install software. Since the analog camera's wires will no longer be used, I'll be running cat5e cables out to power the cameras. For the PC, does the the CPU performance matter? I know i need lots of storage space, probably 20TB if he wants to save 30days worth at 15fps 3MP Thinking about getting these since daytime image quality seems really good and decent enough night time: Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I Outdoor HD 3MP IP Bullet Security Camera As for software, looks like the Avigilon seems like it's a good choice (or maybe milestone since the interface looks user friendly). How about the bandwidth for live view when he's at home or traveling? Not sure how much bandwidth it uses. I think his internet speed is 50mbps down and 6mbps up (or does that not even matter)?! Sorry, kind of a newb when it comes to CCTV but doesn't look like its something hard to setup. Not a complex build. Any suggestions or comments welcomed
  3. Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into the HD-SDI system and see if that's what he wants. Seems like he's wanting to leans towards the IP setup and running the cables doesn't seem that bad right from what I saw.
