Hardware Recommendations
icatchercctv is in use from small 2 camera system to large 100+ camera installations. Suitable hardware is essential to a reliable system
Given the range of cameras available, differing storage requirements, numbers of viewers, activity in the scene and other variables it’s impossible to give exact system recommendations without a knowledge of the system. Here we try to give guidelines to act as a starting point when speccing a system
For systems over 32 cameras we recommend you contact us directly for system design advice.
