Anyone one experienced in large scale cctv systems I Need cctv advise

[Kjb Electrical]

Hi guys & girls, I have a client who wants a new cctv system on his business, He sells cars so has a lot of ground to cover. Doesn’t need any fancy extras just a dvr that can take around 30 cameras, and the cameras image to be clear enough to recognise faces and number plates at a distance of maybe 50M+. Some of the cameras are going to be fitted at over 5oM from the dvr hub.

Has anyone had experience in this, that would be able to recommend a cctv system to use? Or any advice on the matter would be awesome.

When i have a large cctv system to fit. I usually approach System Q Limited | UK Manufacturers and Distributors - https://www.systemq.com/ they will ensure compatability advise on ajy technical aspects. They make a lot of stuff themselves and its decent quality too.

Hikvision network cameras and NVR are good, number plate and facial recognition require the camera and lighting to right, trying this over 50+ meters will be a challenge to put it mildly.

You will probably have more flexibility using IP Cameras and POE.
I use Axis cameras, very very good, you will need some additional lighting, either motion detection or dusk til dawn.
You can put the DVR in a handy location like site office and run Cat6 cables out to remote POE switches, it usually solves all distance issues.

You can use wireless transmitters from say the far end of the site to the dvr, might add around £200-300 to the cost but it is reliable stuff and with the right kit can mix poe, wireless and others. just takes a bit of planning.

I’ve seen wireless sets before do you know if they are any good?

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

depends what you mean in terms of wireless, on a house its fine but on a large scale system like you are using you have normal poe cameras or coaxial they go to a transmitter that sends it upto the main dvr with its own receiver. it saves running loads of cable down to the other end of the car park or site. like i said, have a look on the website i linked above. they do some brilliant kit.

There is no way I would even consider a wireless setup on this scale....You’ll forever be back with problems/jamming etc. The General consensus on a forum/group I’m on is always Hikvision and if the budget won’t stretch to Hik then Dahua.

I've used wirlessw transmitters on a large scale projects and they've worked a treat

We a customer who has a plant hire company and he went for xvision IP cameras and POE. A chum of his designed the system so we just pulled the cat5e in and installed the kit and he set it all up at the end.

A couple of cameras are on lamp posts and connect back to the main building via wireless access points, just picked up a feed from the post for a socket for the POE injector and WAP. Never had any problems with them afaik.

Cameras are very good quality, can read the serial numbers off portacabins at the bottom of the yard zoomed in and that must be 50m +
