    if it does specify analog - which in this day and age is insane..

    Then you could get an encoder/ balun to fibre and send it across an entire building easily..

    I would suggest just using IP from the get go.

     

    Axis encoders are probably best, then distribute video to the network, and if need be use fibre.

    A mall is likely to have fibre/ ethernet infrastructure,

     

    A colleague does a lot of work in South America.

    We are quite big in that region

    Sorry for the delay in response, been stupidly busy.

     

    In short certain better camera manufacturers have built in analytic's.

    Motion + (Bosch), Axis have some etc...

     

    In short try and get a camera that has this built in.

    Any good VMS will 'listen' to that type of analytic and create an event or alarm.

     

    As for distinguishing between animal and person, its about sensitivity.

    We have something facing the road that distinguishes between vans and cars (I know larger), but the same concept.

    Hi,

     

    yes I have installed something almost similar.

    Its a mesh network design for safe city projects around the world.

    However my design was slightly different, where each remote camera connects to a POE+ switch, the switch connects to the wireless router/bridge for the data transmission.

    This limits exposed cable (Which is a security risk).

     

    If you need good VMS software let me know,

    Hey Pax,

     

    Sorry Ive been insanely busy with work.

    I understand, avigilon cameras are not cheap.

     

    Personally I have a good relationship with Axis so they just gave me a couple cameras.

    I used the on board storage locator to access a hard drive (on a 9TB NAS, 4 bay QNAP) and it just records directly to it.

    I then use the axis software to watch video.

     

    My 2 camera system including the NAS came to £300..

    I know i got cams free, but even then it might have been 450.

     

    I suggest getting cameras that can see 'network storage'.

     

    All the analytic stuff is fancy for no reason, and many of the lower end ones do not work..

    e.g theres a partciular facial recognition company that sell their products as a single box solution..

    But if you compare it with NEC neoface OR herta facial rec software you see why its soo cheap.

    And actually why its soo bad.

     

    There are thousands of small installers who can do a lot of 'fancy' analytic nonsense, but I suggest you stick with a good camera manufacturer that can embed certain analytics into the camera.

    Bosch and Axis are just a couple, where the software gets loaded into the camera.. and done.

     

    I do work with avigilon and they have some really decent cameras, but I do not have the full knowledge of them.

    I have not deployed many demanding projects with their hardware.

    Recently they have changed business model too, so I am unsure what the result of this will be.

     

    Look for a light finder camera

    2TB might not be enough storage unless you are only using 7 days or something.

    Hello experts - I've been looking to install a residential security system off and on for over two years now and have been unable to find the right "fit" based on my circumstances. I've come to the realization that the most efficient and practical way to protect the family is if I can have eyes on the property and use analytics to determine and deter threads. I came across this page: http://thesecuritygenius.com/video-surveillance/ and it described pretty well what I would like to accomplish.

     

    1. Live surveillance of the property - Live/ Recorded is fine

    2. Determine threats (ie. person vs. dog), issue a visual alert (ie. flashing red light), start recording - I would suggest 24/7 recording, Hard drives are cheap these days

    3. If the threat advances, issue customizable audible warning, email alert - this is dependant on the analytic type. Cross line detection etc.

    4. If the threat still advances, an audible alarm triggers externally and existing flood lights come on - same as above, a good VMS can use rules..

    I can suggest some (PM)

     

    My requirements/wants:

     

    1. 5-6 bullet/dome cameras (range 20-30 ft., 4mm lense or higher) will provide property visibility - use good quality cameras with light finder tech

    2. POE day/night cameras - same as above, ensure you cabling will work. Also buy light finding cameras

    3. Record to NAS/NVR/highend PC - For the sake of reliability and resiliency I would have a dedicated NVR/NAS/ PC for this, with a RAID configuration, I can recommend good software/ hardware to use. NAS is very expensive, I would go a different way

    4. Motion/event triggered recording/alerting/alarming - As above, use 24/7 recording. Hard drives are very cheap

    4. Un-monitored on premise solution (no remote access needed) - Its still a possibility if you like

    5. The flood light trigger would be nice to have but not an absolute must have (I can flick those on as I grab a firearm and head towards the door), this can be configured via events, rules or alarms. Dependant on the full req

     

    Has anyone ever come across or built a system like this? I am in the tech industry and think I could piece this together in time now that I have settled on an approach, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if others have done this and a starting point would help me get there faster. Appreciate guidance/thoughts/feedback.

     

    I have built systems with a lot more complexity for govt projects, private, and very very large scale. Cannot discuss online for obvious reasons.

     

    Regards, Pax

     

     

    hello,

     

    Ive been working in the industry for a few years, im a solutions architect and deal with enterprise physical security etc..

    Ive worked on large installations.. seem comments against above.
