Hi All,
This is a general discussion.? I did a quick search but nothing relevant came up - so lets have a conversation.
The request is to have the ability to see 16 cameras... (4 cameras per site - 4 remote sites)...(1 remote site will be moving all the time, construction site)... (1 remote site is mobile)
Each site has its own NVR matched to the cameras.. in this case all cameras are nikivision (or however it is spelled).? I know each NVR has webcast or webserver so capturing the feed should be pretty simple.
To be honest... its been quite a while since i integrated cameras, and when I did, it was all hardwired cctv... so I am a little behind the times here for cam integration.
The OP wants to use "blue iris" as he has been using it for a long time.? I have never used it.
Q1. What is the opinion of blue iris and or is there better universal software out there.
The OP would like to see 4 cam per screen on each of his devices... (to include, TV, Lighting Touch Pad, Dedicated System IPad, Mobile IPad, IPhone, Android Phone)
Only the IPads and Iphone and computer would operate any camera controls.? All the others would just show view.
So, for showing views... i am solid on that.? Its basically just a source in a window.
As far as integrating some symbols into the system to integrate with "blue iris"... I am not really clear on the best course of action.
Q2.? NVR.? I think matched NVR's at each site is the best instead of trying to bring all the feeds back to the main system and having a rack mount NVR there.? BUT, I am worried about up time or how easy it will be to maintain connections to 4 NVR's with floating IP's.? The webservers should sort some of this out.
OK...
So start the debate.? You know what I have to do... Now what should I do.? I am sure a couple of you have had to incorporate multiple dirty systems.? Does anyone have a sample program to share that I can look at and study.
- oh, and I don't know if this matters but I am stuck with a Pro2 system components.
