CCTV with sound

[alan-d]

Looking for an idea of cost for a CCTV unit that also records sound.

 

Rough Specs would be;

 

For internal use

Records over IP or own HD (preferably IP)

In Colour

With good quality sound

PoE would be preferable

Must be discreet when installed and when recording

System must be expandable in the future if required.

Not Wireless.

Records in a format easily replayed on a PC without conversion software.

 

The HT is looking into ways to observe teachers\classes during training excercises so it would not be on all the time.

 

Anyone suggest a supplier or kit they have used which may be suitable?

 

Thanks in advance

Have a look at Mobotix cameras (MOBOTIX AG - The HiRes Video Company / IP Video Cameras) saw these at BETT last year and was very impressed - not sure if they do sound.

I think it does - I'll have a proper look - thanks.

 

Any others?

We have used Network Webcams - with these cameras and this recorder, which also works with various makes/models of cameras. Very effective and incredibly useful.
