(I'm dropping this topic here because not sure where it really belongs. If a mod has a better idea where this topic should reside, please don't hesitate to move it. Thanks!!)
OK. Backstory is we inherited a working dog boarding kennel a few months ago that we're in the process of rehabing.
Now, when the season opens here on Cape Cod, we want 5 of the runs in the kennel open and working and under video surveillance. (The kennel is split into 5 runs per side, as seen in the pic below. The orange runs are the ones we'll have working while the yellow won't be working.)
Bad drawing of kennel:
KEY TO ABOVE PIC:
Orange = Working kennel runs (#'s 1-5, 10)
Yellow = Closed kennel runs (#'s 6-9)
Greens = Front office, grooming/bathing/storage area, working space between kennel runs
We want to have cameras looking at the front office/desk/front door, two cameras focused on the kennel runs #1-5, and a camera focused on the gate leading to the outdoor portions of runs #1-5 (that gate is located to the left of the front office in the pic above by about 8 ft.).
I also want to be able to stream all the feeds to any of my networked computers. I currently have 5 computers in my network....3 desktops---1 on wired ethernet, 2 on wireless N, and 2 laptops---both wireless, one on G, one on N.
There will be a computer in the office that can assist in running the setup. It's not built yet, so can be built to whatever spec I need to run the Point Of Sale (POS) software for running the kennel plus take in the surveillance feeds and distribute them to the home network.
I also eventually will want to be able to add another gate camera (to a gate which will be approx. 8 ft. to the right of the building) and stream live the 2 interior kennel feeds for public viewing via the internet.
If this isn't too confusing.....any suggestions? Hardware, software?
