While we're talking cameras.
Make sure whatever system you have conforms to industry standards (Onvif) and you have plenty of storage. My local regulations require 30 days of storage.
Sitewide we have 64 cameras. We use 2 LTS NVR's. Since our campus is split between 2 buildings, 2 lots, with only a single gig ethernet running between them, I kept a lot of the traffic off that one link by having an NVR in each building.
We could have just grabbed a bunch of hard drives and shoved them in the NVR's, but I opted to go with a QNAP 4 bay NAS unit for each building. I export the drive space as an ISCSI mount to the NVR. Works very nice. It also gives me fault tolerance and hot swap, so if any of my drives fail, my monitoring stays up.
Whatever you do, do not go to costco to buy a Q-See, Lorex, etc. These are absolute trash.
