The maintenance manager said something about needing it monitored, so that would imply that it has to be wired or wireless, even if it's not networked. My preference would be for wired as we are in a big metal building and getting a wireless signal into the building would be "iffy." OTOH, that wiring a camera would be an invitation for lighting to come down the wire, so... :-)

I was asking if he _wanted_ to use an IP camera. Analog cameras are a valid option as well. DVR isn't necessary, either... depending on his needs. Many cameras will record to a local to the camera SD card now. If something happens, retrieve the SD card and see what it recorded. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: James Kerr [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wed, 04 Aug 2010 11:47:03 -0700 Subject: Re: Networked camera > Why does it need to be networked?
