[can-talk] security cameras

Hi all,

 

I am hoping someone can help me - I am investigating security cameras for
the Homestead at Bundanon. We already have a back to base security system
but it has been decided to install security cameras as well. 

 

Bundanon Homestead is an 1866 Georgian 2 storey house with two storey
verandah at front. It is made primarily of sandstone and cedar and stands in
close proximity to a 1840s kitchen and servants quarters all of which is in
fairly constant use by staff and visitors. Arthur Boyd's 1981 studio is also
in the grounds at the other end of the garden. This too would require
cameras.

 

I am reluctant to install them internally and so am hoping that exterior
cameras will be sufficient for all the above mentioned buildings.

 

My questions are:

1.	What sort of cameras should I be looking for?
2.	Who are the best suppliers (Sydney/ACT/Illawarra)?
3.	What other support is required in terms of power supply, PC/monitor,
etc
4.	What triumphs and/or difficulties have people experienced in
installation and continued use of security cameras in and around historic
houses
5.	Any ideas on costs would also be welcome.

 

Many thanks and I look forward to your feedback

 

Cheers

Jennifer
