multiple IP camera

[MrNorway]

Hi

Im designing a control system and I now want implement multiple cameras to surveill the system.
Whats the best type of cameras to use? I've tried with some simple webcams, but then its only possible to stream from one camera at the time.
Im now considering Axis 206 network camera. Does anyone know if its possible to stream for multiple IPcameras at the same time?
Or what about firewirecameras?

Its a lowbudget project so I dont need pro cameras... 😛


Thanks in advance

Well, Axis makes cameras for the low budget. You may want to look into the bullet cameras and 4 channel web servers. Just a basic overview, they are great quality optics joined with good electronics utilizing BNC analog signal to BNC on the video server. The video server then coverts it to Data TX/RX for use in a plug and play UNP that is easily detected by your network. It will show up under my network. Yes you can stream multiple channels. In fact Axis software comes with it that has multiple arrays 1/2/4/6/8/10 on and on. I use both the analog bullets cams by Axis and the PTZ 213 networked and love all of them.

Good luck and let me know how this turns out. If time permits, I may have a surplus cam/serv lying around some where. 🙂
