Hi All,
I want to install some real-time CCTV cameras to monitor CNC machines for tool breakage etc. I don't need to record, just view the stream and hot-foot it to the shop if things don't look right.
I need to be able to feed the video (BNC-connector) to a "box" that can connect to my Vista Network (TCP/IP) with an RJ45 and an assigned IP similar to the CNC machines.
Currently the CCTV vendors are telling me I need a DVR with Network capabilities, but I would need one for every camera as some of the machines are too far apart to cable several cameras to one DVR in a very electrically noisy environment.
Soooo, I am looking for a box that will take the "standard" CCTV signal and pass it to the network. I can write the software to capture the video once it is streaming.
Any suggestions? Cost IS an issue. {grin}
Thanks
Dave
