150,000 sq' warehouse wiring

Recommended Posts

I have a 150K sq foot warehouse that wants a 4 camera system...

 

4 cameras, 4 channel DVR (located in the office)

 

 

Best way to run the cable for the camera that's so far from the DVR?

 

 

Thanks for the advice.

General rule of Mathematics – you cannot solve a problem with too many

unknowns.

 

What are the dimensions of the warehouse?

(it could be 20 feet wide and 7,500 long )

 

Where is the office? In a corner? in the centre?

I didnt get a chance to measure, but Be sure that the warehouse is far longer than it is wide...

 

Nevertheless, for arguments sake, lets suppose the furthest camera is about 2000' from the DVR.

 

Assuming I could tap into existing power close to the source, what would you guys recommend for running the video?

 

 

Thanks

RG-59 for under 250ft.

CAT5 w/passive baluns 250ft. - 800ft.

CAT5 w/active baluns 800ft and longer

 

go with 24vac, and yes power the loger ones at the camera. you could go with 28vac if you shorest is around 500ft.?

 

4 camera's seems very small for a building that size?

I agree 4 cameras is too few, but they say they only have 2 exits, don't want to watch the office at all, and 2 cameras to watch the loading dock. Thats what the customer wants, thats what they'll get!

 

Hopefully Installing the 4 cams will put me in a position to upsell a larger system down the road.

 

 

Thanks for the advice, I was curious about wireless over that distance...? Anyone know about it?

don't do wireless if you can wire it...........more parts equals more cost. and rememeber that you can locate the DVR closer to the camera's and network back 300ft......CAT5 as wired for networking, is good out to 300ft. max....

 

KISS...keep it simple simon
