All are IP based and the cameras have had little impact on network performance because they have been segmented off using a logical VLAN. We originally began by purchasing servers with large drives either internally or drive cages, but we have since moved all of the camera storage to SAN. We keep 30 days of "live" data on the SAN for retrieval and another 30 days on tape. I would say the cameras are approximately $2500 each. There are a number of different options that can change that price and keep in mind that does not include storage space cabling, etc. They do have power injectors or if you have PoE switches that will work as well. We are using Dell/EMC SAN and primarily 320GB SATA drives for this application. Example - (512) Bed Residence Hall has approximately (38) cameras taking jpg image every 2 seconds when there is motion. There is approximately 7GB per day of data storage.

Ryan, We embarked on a similar project approximately 2 years ago. We have implemented the E-Watch IP Cameras. There are approximately 120 on campus today and it started with 12 to monitor our own computer labs. It has spread to Residence Halls quickly and Library as well. It is currently utilized by the University Police, IT, Library and Residence Life.

I would
appreciate
any feedback anyone has on products being used at your institutions and any policies you may have in place to govern the installation and products
being
purchased. Also, I'm curious about how the systems are being supported,
IT,
Police department, facilities?
