Social Club Cctv

[Truss and France]

Now thats a better looking unit, thanks for the explanation.

Mr Happy, take a chill pill. Im only having a laugh. While you obviously love this unit can you explain why it is not of a rack mounted design or the fact that you are unable to mount a monitor on top of it? dont get out of your pram just asking the question as I have just installed a LJD dvr (not my choice) and can not understand why it is of a square design. By the way I am a sub contractor who just installs systems and I dont specify equipment or spend my time finding out what company has been bought out, hence not knowing DM and Dennard are the same.

Keep smiling

Hi Guys,

They have been told its a part of the new licensing conditions that they should have CCTV on the premises. I dont think its for monitoring peeps but more to the security side of things.

They are not open all day or night but a few hours a day, so a large drive I assume is not needed as the dvr can always be deleted and start again. They have one large lounge, bar and a walk in foyer off the street.

One cam for the lounge

One for the bar

One for the foyer

I will see if I can find a link to the licensing laws and get back asap.

Im north of Cardiff M8's.

Laters,

Brian

Hello Brian

Most standalone DVRs will recycle (old footage will be recorded over) and have motion detection recording triggers built in, so you may find that a 250G HDD will be fine for a 4 camera system operating for just a few hours a day. The DVR can then be configured to record on motion only whenever the club is closed, this should drastically reduce recording time out of hours.

Hi Kev, I've only just seen this and I presume your question was serious so I will give my views. The popularity of square/cube style DVR housings is all due the PC market. Manufacturers will obviously use any parts that are generally available to buy anywhere, wherever possible, rather than have to manufacture a new part.

The cube style PC was a miniaturisation of the tower design which itself was developed to offer less 'footprint' size than the original desktop PC to leave more room on a desk and easier access to CD-r drives etc..

Using a PC style casing allows DVR manufacturers to also use power supplies/motherboards etc that are mass-produced to fit into these cases for PC's, as part of their own DVR products.

Since many DVR's now also use mouse/keyboard controlled software packages for viewing/controlling etc. then a PC style case is again perfect for these.
