Depending on how many customers you have and growth, you might be better off providing your own DDNS server using open source software. We have deployed several dedicated DDNS servers for security companies; it is NOT our software. We are merely using Debian Linux, BIND DNS server and a perl script and it works like a charm. We have over 1200 customers that are utilizing this service with no issues. Before, we had to rely on the services of other DDNS providers being reliable, cost, support, and staying in business. Now that our DDNS server is in the Amazon cloud, we run into NO issues. The only cost is the $49.99 a month for the amazon server.

Fiber is the ONLY way to go! Reasons: safety and ground potentials (Ground Potentials)!

The HD-CVI specification does not allow the use of any splitters; if you are using splitters, it was not design correctly from the get go.

Unless if there is a good reason, I would personally stay away from embedded systems with third party software (Blue Iris, etc.). My Rule of thumb: 1. Get an IP camera with Onvif support. 2. Choose your embedded NVR that also has Onvif support (You are not bound to the limitations of having to purchase a NVR from one manufacture). Analog SD just sucks monkey balls! You can also check out Analog HD (HD-SDI or HD-CVI) Good Luck

What's up you camera junkies!
