I need some recommendations for hardware for a set up as described below. Alternative hardware configurations can also be considered, given the objective of providing cam footage from the barn to the house.
-IP cams must have night vision capabilities with IR illuminators -IP cams must be weather sealed and durable -IP cams do not require sound mics -Barn Router will be shielded from rain but not heat, cold, humidity, etc. -Barn Router will not have unobstructed line of sight to the house because of metal barn wall. -Antenna (if separate exterior mount) for barn router can be mounted on the exterior but will be exposed to all elements (rain, high winds, snow, etc) -Span between barn and house is 150 ft direct line of sight with no obstructions -House router A can be inside, in a climate controlled environment -House router antenna (if separate exterior mount) can be mounted on the exterior but will be exposed to all elements (rain, high winds, snow, etc) -All hardware needs to be compatible

Do you want the cameras fixed or PTZ? We just installed some Axis 223Ds at work and they are performing great. We also picked up two Cisco 4500 HD fixed cams and attached wide angle lenses to them for static shots. Currently we are working out the illumination for night shots with the Cisco cameras, but the Axis work just as we need them using their auto iris settings. Have you decided how you are going to supply power to the exterior housings for the cameras? Are you going to supply AC power to the cams or are they going to be PoE? |
