Yeah, the bandwidth was my main concern just as you mentioned. The switch to 4k has really cranked up the bandwidth and storage numbers. 200TB needed per NVR is wild these days. Funny you should mention the 10gig+ because we were just discussing that last week. Hopefully moving to h.265 should...

We do indeed provide all of the above when we close out a job. Still solid advice all around.

My company helps setup camera networks for federal and state organizations. Everything looks pretty solid to me, but their network setup has been used for 10+ years and I was just curious if there is anything you guys can think of to improve it. A new set of eyes is always useful. So, here is...

I believe there are 5 camera subnets at this location. There are 4 separate buildings with cameras and clients as well as an admin subnet which contains all the switches and the server. The setup they use is one fiber SFP switch as a gateway router for each subnet ie... 192.168.x.1. X=0-4...
