I am in need of a a multi-faceted system to include interior and exterior of two structures with additional perimeter security. My idea is to do some sort of standard combination of interior motion with door and window switches for the house. Same with the shop. This would be most likely installed and maintained by a company/provider. Alternate power sources and communication TBD. Secondly, I would like to utilize a few cameras on the exterior of the buildings and try to keep these at minimum numbers while still capturing most points of entry. Third, I need to camera the entry gate and maybe the drive down( specifically for vehicle ID), as well as photo eye trigger for audible alert inside buildings. The camera portion I would look to do myself, separate from the alarm company. I would build a secure server/DVR storage with ventilation and mount the hardware and wiring myself. Cameras can/would be stainless pipe/pole mounted with wiring protected internally and conduit or direct buried.
From those with experience either personally or professionally, how does this initial plan sound? Equipment recommendations, wiring methods, layout coverage vs. height, IR night in conjunction with exterior lighting concerns.
The buildings will get alarmed first thing and the exterior and perimeter stuff would be at my leisure to lower the cost.
Any experience or recommendations are welcome. If someone can point towards a solid local company that deals with this, a consult would probably be a good thing. With this, I am looking for true security consultants, not necessarily a consult from ADT(but a company like them will most likely be involved with the interior.
If this subject matter does not fit the forum profile, feel free to kill it.
Thanks guys
