Anyone got any advice on fibre transmission,

Remote viewing of several cameras over a long distance, roughly 6-8 miles.

Should service providers have some sort of back bone to jump on and if so how exactly does this process take place and work.

Thanks...

After reading a the threads on this subject, a one town centre I work with, the CCTV feeds come in on various lines (Fibre, coax, twisted pair (NVT), WAN, wireless and microwave). On one multi story car park that is in the process of being updated a wireless LAN is being put in for a new system on a car park even as an existing 2 core fibre is in place (from an existing camera 2 camera system) I suggested using these 2 lines had the hardware changed from video to data/video cards. The council concerned decided as a clean line of sight was available (4 km) then a wireless option will be used.

(the new system will be running 12 ip cameras 5 of these are domes and the rest are static, the DVR is on site. The WAN will be used for the pay-on-foot system, monitoring the cameras and an IP intercom (help point system). The wireless has not been installed yet but I will be interested in the results).

I have a meeting tomorrow morning about another site that will have a similar but smaller set-up and this 2nd site will have the wireless going to the previous car park and will the go back to the civic centre.

I could get details of this wireless system if you like, I do not know limitation of range but a line of sight will be require
