Security Cameras and Software

[Hpwandrew]

I just bought a swann 8Chan stand alone dvr (no relation to 4chan) it came with 8 cameras for $1000. I was wondering what kind of systems you guys have if any.

Im really interested in the recognition software but dont know where to start.

I have a reconnaissance satellite that does all that.

Forgot the name of my home system but I got it from Regent Range Ltd in UK. You get the cameras at a cheaper price than buying the branded ones in the states like Sony. Same parts inside and I can order custom shit as they are manufactured in the chinese factories that Sony and all those other brands put their logo on.

I was going to get a system by VueZone, but I decided to go with this instead...

Amazing high def photos from 80,000 feet...better than nvanprooyen's satellite for sho.

Geovision or Avermedia products for capture, processing and software.

Check out SuperCircuits.com for cameras and other stuff.

What a shame people dropping thousands on security systems when they could just use your method

Thanks man. I was actually looking this whole week and was going to post a thread here but saw this one. My car just got hit the second time and of course the driver didn't stop. Damn bars!

What do you do to prevent or in case someone breaks in and steals your box?

Mines in a closet that is disguised to look like a book self. Its dead bolted and the box is mounted to the studs in the wall.

I've been using the Axis IP cameras for a long time now. Skip the WIFI versions as they seem to like to drop off constantly. There's a few decent open source IPCamera DVRs and some commercial ones (And even Axis has a decent one).

Do all of you guys have a Tony Montana style bank of tv's on the wall to monitor each camera, or do you just have it split screen on a big ass LCD?

I actually have a similar question. Can someone recommend a system that I could hook up 2 cameras and then send the wireless signal to all of the TV's in my house and my computer? I've been searching, but haven't found a good one yet that I know for sure will send the signal far enough through all the walls. There are a ton of cheap systems that say they can do it, but I'm guessing they suck ass.

I don't need DVR since I'm not really worried about crime, I just want to see who's at the front door or see my dog out back wherever I am in the house.
