Re: Recommended Security Camera Equipment

We are using Sony on Cat5 with PTZ and fixed on each of our guardhouses.
All cameras are IP based and can be viewed and controlled through a
simple browser interface from inside the guardhouse. The recorder is in
the data center and the security dispatcher has a "fat client" to view
and control all cameras. The resolution on the Sony PTZ's is great!

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.
