Believe me, understand the why and the answers to the above will make a lot more sense, in other words, I can explain any of the above (as can many on here) but it is how and why they are applicable when trying to present a solution to a problem is paramount.

Can you elaborate further on solution to a problem, please.

IP is IP. Doesn't matter what it's bolted to or threat level. Same with the other things you want to understand. 1/2 of what you want to know is nothing to do with security. It's networking. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzies Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 To be fair, your project will give you a better understanding of all you mentioned other than Ip, Lan, and especially wan. For those you need to study IP purely, ignoring cctv completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasar Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Let's forget IP for a second, it was meant as a future addition. I guess I can buy an IP camera, link it to my home lan and have a play with DVR and camera networking separatel. 960H or D1? 8CH Samsung SRD-873D looks interesting, 4CH version is only D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 960h is better, but hd-sdi is the best at medium end gear securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

quasar Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Upgrade to IP from HD-SDI in future means re-cabling A big no no I don't want any half measures and the only reason not to go 100% IP at the moment is cost. There's a wide range of cameras but most DVRs I can find don't support 960H Whats the point buying a 700TVL camera and connect it to a DVR that records D1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
