Re: [info-tech] School Surveillance and Security
The one thing I would recommend if you want to really get into video surveillance is to work with a video vendor. There are a lot of IP based solutions that seem like they would be a simple solution but you may be disappointed with coverage. Working with a vendor that specializes in this application will be able to determine the correct camera placement, how many cameras to use, what lenses, do you need Pan/Tilt/Zoom, backlighting to name a few. A long time ago I worked in the Alarm industry and worked on several surveillance systems. Even with my extensive background in that industry I would not design a video surveillance system without professional help. The systems installed at Webster City and Jefferson Scranton in my opinion are very well deployed systems. I would look at having their vendor give you a quote, or at least work with a "Security" company to help design and implement any surveillance solution. -- From: "Karl Hehr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 11:17 AM To: "Info-Tech" Subject: [info-tech] School Surveillance and Security | We currently has a rinky-dink 4 camera setup here that records to a | DVR system, and the cameras are awful and need upgrading.

Re: [info-tech] School Surveillance and Security
We use a dvr system sold by Modern Sound in Ft. Dodge. It is the same system
they use at Rabiner Treatment Center (part of our district). They have over
30 cameras in use there and we have 16. Works for what we need it for.

RE: [info-tech] School Surveillance and Security
Hi, We use the same system that Webster City has. The Panasonic DVR units (WJ-HD316A/500 or WJ-HD309A/500) handle 9 or 16 cameras. We have worked with Todd and Brian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) at AlphaVideo in Minneapolis. The outside fixed cameras (POC484L5) are about $750 ea. and the PTZ's (POS954DW) with enclosure/mount are $1,955. The DVR units are $2,600-4,100. http://www.panasonic.com/business/security/products/index.asp - Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm. Schools 204 W.

RE: [info-tech] School Surveillance and Security
We just purchased a 16 channel PC based system from New Millennium Technology out of Indianola. It is a networkable system that allows remote viewing on any machine running XP or 2000. It is also audio capable. Unit is a little more costly but unlike DVR's if one component dies it can be replaced as every component is serviceable, verses throwing away the entire unit. The cameras run 24/7 with compression of 2400/1. It also uses full size 640x480 frames when viewing and images can be enlarged without pixelating. The cameras are full color with IR in vandal-proof domes and run at 540 lines of resolution. The unit can store about one month's worth of video on all 16 cameras.
