Re: Recommended Security Camera Equipment

[Chad McDonald <chad.mcdonald () GCSU EDU>]

We've just installed about 80 cameras including fixed and PTZ units.
Siemens was our vendor, and the DVR's were GE, the cameras are GE or Sony.
Our DVR units use a combnation of coax, Cat 6, and fiber depending upon the
installation.  All units are viewable via the web (with software and
required authentication) and feed back in realtime via fiber to our Public
Safety office where we have the "control station".  Our control station is a
3X3 matrix of monitors, each capable of viewing each camera or combination
of cameras.  Additionally here we have the ability to program the PTZs or
move them as needed.  So far the system is great, barring some issues with
sub-contractors not pointing cameras or leaving lenses dirty.  The GE system
also allowed us to integrate our existing older camera systems easily.

All,



We are in the process of developing a campus standard for video surveillance
equipment.  We are moving forward with a localized DVR design and I was
hoping to get some feedback on the types of equipment other Universities are
utilizing.  Cameras, DVR's, IP based systems, etc.  Thank you in advance for
your responses.
