How to design a 1000-channel large-scale monitoring system? How to choose a switch?

Friends often ask, how should large-scale monitoring projects be designed? For example, how to plan 1,000-channel monitoring? In this issue, we mainly discuss how to implement 1000-channel video surveillance applications from the perspective of hardware configuration.

To achieve 1000 channels of monitoring and display, there are four main problems:

1. What camera to use?

2. How to choose a switch for 1000-channel monitoring? How to set up a network?

3. How to reasonably arrange the storage of 1000 channels?

4. How to display the 1000-channel monitoring?

Let’s analyze them one by one.

1. What camera to use?

How to choose a camera? In a 1000-channel large-scale surveillance project, more than one camera may be used. Different cameras need to be selected according to the environment. Let’s take a look at the uses of each camera. We usually classify cameras according to their appearance.

1. Box camera: Suspended or wall-mounted. Outdoor installation generally requires a protective cover. Generally installed in outdoor areas such as passages, factories or parking lots. It is mainly used in underground warehouses and warehouses with no lights or low illumination, monitoring urban roads, outdoor environments of residential areas, etc.

2. Dome camera: It is actually an "integrated movement (zoom lens + camera) + shield + PTZ + PTZ protocol decoder". It is generally used in outdoor or indoor situations with a relatively large area and a wide range.

3. Dome camera: The installation method is ceiling installation. It is mostly used in small-scale indoor monitoring situations, such as semi-public areas with no lights or dark lights, hotel corridors, hospitals, communities, elevators, indoor halls and other places.

4. Infrared integrated machine: Infrared integrated machine is a kind of infrared integrated machine.
