Does anyone know anything about Security Cameras?

[126coupe]

I have a fairly large commercial tenant. I am thinking about looking into a security camera system for a parking lot that is 1.5 acres appx.
Any knowledgeable people out there on this subject?

Call a pro, there are all different types of cameras and recorders out there. I am in the Security Industry, and I really on the pros for system type work.

If you do go the networked camera route....make sure you secure them. Otherwise everyone on the net can see/pan/zoom them. If you don't know what I am talking about.....

It's actually fun to play with other people's cameras.

LOL. You're going to sit up all night watching security cameras? There are central monitoring companies that offer video monitoring service in conjunction with your alarm systems.

Check out Axis network cameras. They are a mid-grade commercial product (unlike the consumer-grade stuff on the aforementioned website). I install them in parking lots for commercial developers who need to monitor multiple (and long-distance) jobsites. You can zoom in and view truck signage and license plates from several hundred feet. Up close, you can check to see if a quarter is heads/tails. Very reliable and have yet to have one fail in over 5 years (including hurricanes).
