Under the "drawbacks of HD analog" section : it is not true that you need to run coax. We run cat5 and use video baluns for all "HD analog" installs which gives the customer options to upgrade to IP later without increasing the cost of Labour or wiring. Baluns are cheap. $9 a pair etc

Depends on the cable length / camera location, but for short runs, we supply power over the unused pairs of the cat5.

From our experiencne, powering HD analog cameras through unused twisted pairs cause interference to the video signal.
Do you use UTP Cat.5e?
Central power supply?

Even cheaper with Milestone Essentials. The 16 channel universal driver only takes up one license.
With your free 8 licenses you can add up to 128 hd analog cameras.

For the past 10 years we have run Coax and CAT5 for our customers. We have used the coax traditionally, and the CAT5 for power. When the customer was ready to switch over the infrastructure was in place. Using multiple pairs of CAT5 meets the circular mils required by the NEC to carry the power per code for the current carrying conductors. We now have the CAT5 and Coax necessary to use IP and AHD on one installation, license free for the analog side. Not every camera needs to be IP to meet the customer's expectations, and to the consternation of some, AHD is not going anywhere. As the resolution increases, so will its popularity. It is a matter of value.

what do the file sizes look like for HD analog in comparison to IP?
I'd have to think there is a substantial difference

I have not done the math, but what makes you think they would be different? 1.3MP is 1.3MP no??

Hi everybody, each time we are talking of connecting to HD DVR we forget remote playback. RTSP is fine but what about remote playback?

Nicer to have a dedicated driver than relying on the universal driver for this kind of approach...

Hi UD6,
Think of the Hanwha unit as essentially an encoder "passing through" the HD analog streams to Milestone. So yes to the "record on Milestone" (and do anything else you'd want to do) and "no" on pulling and reviewing on the Hanwha unit.

What happens if you add video analytics to the cost saving measures converting analogue to ip with Milestone.
does every dvr/camera on the system benefit ?
