I'm looking to take an existing security system and have the ablity to monitor it from a remote location. Existing camera's are not IP cameras. Is this possible or even recommended?
Also, is there hardware/software that you could recommend to convert a PC into a DVR for security systems?
Thanks.

Try Bulldog.com. They have good DVR's which can be accessed via net from anywhere and yes you can use the existing cameras.

Can you double check that address? I don't think it is correct...

Don't know much about the latest and greatest in camera technology but an IT friend of mine swears by the IP type - says they're less expensive and more reliable??. Should we be roughing in cameras with an additional Cat5 besides video wire, run to network router?

Axis makes solid webservers (with loop through) that allow both remote and local (possibly still modulated) veiwing.
As for cat5e, I am considering only pulling cat5e for the video portion as I can always balun if analog is spec'd.
Just my $.02

You have several options here. Speco has a line of DVRs that are IP addressible. You biggest problem will be getting the client to pay for a static IP address from the high speed provider, or finding a website that will "check in" and allow you to not have a static IP address.
|
Just my opinion, I could be wrong. |

Dedicated Micros as well. As long as you don't reset your modem you will have the same address. I have had clients with the same address for years now. But the dynamic DNS is also nice.
Static IP addresses are coming down in our area, not a whole lot more than a typical dynamic aaddress

IP cameras are enormously overated. No security professional would ever use them in a crucial environment. Without the IP based control companies (ala Lifeware, Homelogic, Control4, etc.) they wouldn't be but a footnote.
Want to see who's at the front door from your touchscreen? They're great for that purpose.
Want to see who broke into your house yesterday? Get a real camera system.

Darim Netgator. 4 baseband cams inputs, 1 monitor out, ethernet, rs232. As mentioned above need static IP for remote monitoring.

Was looking at this kind of stuff myself recently... still can't decide between a standalone or PC-based system.

Check the IPS (images per second ) spec on the DVR. Just landed a job a local college campus that the previous yahoo had installed a 16 camera DVR that only ran at 60 IPS.
