Build your own CCTV Systems...

[timbo343]

We use blueiris software on 2 cctv machines at our place. The software is fairly flexible and does everything and a lot more than i need it to do. We have PoE IP dome cameras and use PoE injectors as our switches arent poe ready. The machines arent anything special.

 

One is a quad core processor about 5/6 years old which manages to run 8 cameras 24/7.

 

The other is a Core2duo processor about 3/4 years old whicg manages to run 6 cameras 24/7.

 

Both systems write the video files as wmv files. The support from the software's creator is great, he is always willing to help as much as possible.

 

Dont have much to do with it now, it just runs but its been invaluable and wouldnt be without it.

Hi. Sorry to dig this thread out from the dead but I thought it was easier to continue this one than start another and get duplicate answers....

 

I asked this question back in May 2014 and got some fantastic answers. Now this job has made it to the top of the pile and I'll be looking at this with intention to install (as well having a look at potential solutions at BETT next week). Eight months is a lifetime in technology so has anyone got anything else to add to this thread with regards to recent developments in IP CCTV technology or recent hands on experience?

 

Thanks as always
