I’m fairly new to the IP camera would and am looking for some feedback.
I work in an industrial facility that uses a video system to monitor the process in real time, with about 3 days worth of storage. The cameras that were originally installed are no longer available which is forcing us to upgrade. Our current system is somewhat proprietary, in that we must buy our cameras from the same company that supplied us with the system. I have been looking at alternate VMS systems and am curious about Milestone Systems, is this a good company to use or are there other manufactures that would be better.
Current system is 2 servers, 70 standard definition cameras, and 17 end user view stations with multiple views ranging from 4 to 15 views.
I would like to upgrade the software/computer side and then replace cameras as needed.
You may want to consider Geovision IP cameras. Geovision includes a 32 channel NVR software license with the purchase of their cameras. This can provide a significant cost savings to you and the quality of the software is comparable to other commercial packages like Milestone. Please take a look at Geovision IP cameras when you get a chance.
We have been a distributor for about 6 years now and we have had great experience with them. Our support staff is also very knowledgeable if you need help.
