Unsolved analog video stream

@Mike-Davis said in analog video stream:
When I laid out the options, they started to have second thoughts about being able to record, create streams, etc.
I called it. That's why you generally avoid legacy deployments in any arena. Customers always commit verbally to hard limits that they will "never need to exceed" that makes the project seem easy. And the moment that it's too late, they want those features. In this day and age, it's so obvious that being able to record, stream online or whatever should "just be available" that often people will commit to not being able to do things assuming that they really are not committing to those things or that they are trivial to add, no matter what you tell them.
Same thing with VoIP. People commit to the limits of legacy phones all the time and are shocked when all modern features are unavailable to them because they just assumed, as VoIP is everywhere, that they would magically get that stuff too.

Any update to this topic?

This is for a church, they are likely discussing today before/after services.

Okay it's Tuesday, any updates?

@DustinB3403 I'd be surprised if they escape the 'weighing options' loop. Few do.

So the response to the inquiry should've immediately been; "You have to stream it, using CCTV is not an option".
Is that what I'm getting from you @wirestyle22 ?
-
@DustinB3403 Nah. I just mean every time I hear 'we are weighing our options' I never hear back.

That or they come back three months later and go "Here's the stuff, make it work" -- and nothing you asked for is on the list.

That too

I'm not worried about it. It's probably going to cost them much more than they originally thought, and no matter who the client is, that usually means it's going to take more time.

What's the latest?

I figured this project was dead in the water from the last update. . .

They just told me that they don't want to stream online, but they are willing to spend what they need to for a PTZ camera that they can mount in the back of the room and then zoom in and move around and capture the front of the room.
Since it will need to be controlled by a computer for the PTZ, an IP camera makes sense. It's about 70' from the back of the room to the front, so the zoom is more important than the wide angle lens most conferencing cameras have. Any recommendations?

Wow, that is a change of requirements for sure. But at least now you have something to work with.

@Mike-Davis good thing they didn't go with anything before!
