CCTV System Hardware Help
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2012 9:58 pm
I am looking to set up a CCTV system for my restaurant. We had a professional come in and quote us at a ridiculous rate, so I am looking to do it myself, with the help of my friend who is an electrician. One thing that we did get out of the quote, however, it is that we will need somewhere in the vicinity of 20 cameras. From what I have read I probably want to go with analog cameras due to the major increase in processing power required for a large number of IP cameras (or possibly a combination of the two). I am looking for suggestions on cameras and capture cards. I will figure out computer hardware around my camera hardware. I am also looking for anyone to poke holes in my reasoning, assuming holes exist.
