I want to play with it and test how the whole CCTV thing works.

I'd like to understand IP, DDNS, apps, LAN, WAN, D1, 960H, HD,  WDR and and all other abbreviations

 

Sort of hobby

 

My garage, my garden, non commercial application

I've got 50m coax, 30m cat5, an old 480TVL camera and two brackets to start with

Tbh your starting at the wrong end, you're looking at how it's done when why its done is the more important question. 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.

I'd share that view too

Digital is your guide here. What he don't know about cctv is little

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

 

We are talking typical scenario: driveway, garage, shop, warehouse, vandals, thieves

not industrial espionage, casinos, banks, nuclear power plants, terrorists, drons

That's completely irrelevant. 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.

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

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

Edited July 25, 201312 yr by quasar

960h is better, but hd-sdi is the best at medium end gear

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
