How to capture manufacturing processes at multiple angles?

This might be a bit out there... I'm a computer systems administrator for a large manufacturing company. The powers that be want to begin recording video of how our operators should set up / load parts into our machines (grinders, mills, lathes, etc.). Of course, being in IT, they automatically assume I am a video aficionado, but I have no idea where to go with this.

Setting up video cameras in order to get just the right angle will be difficult. We can't just have a guy with a video camera recording what's going on. I had the idea of getting a 4-8 camera DVR security system and find some other way to mount the cameras (they need to be able to be moved easily).

Any ideas? Do we just buy a $300 camera and go from there?



Answer
This is no different from any other project.

Step 1: Define the requirement.
Step 2: Set a budget.

Generally, if you can do things in-house, you do that. If you cannot, it gets contracted out.

Your first option to use a 4-8 camera DVR security system assumes that the quality is good enough. It also assumes that when the video is moved from the DVR to a computer for editing, the video quality is there and the video can be edited. We don't know what the final output is expected to be.

Your second option is to spend $300 on camera and "go from there". This assumes some sort of compatible video editor, an appropriately configured computer is available and a person who knows how to use the video editor has been identified.

In either case, we don't know if your budget includes 1 or more tripods (what are the security cameras being mounted to?), if audio is required, how the lighting is, whether high speed video is needed...

Perhaps there is a local video service or videographer willing to do the capture and edit. If you add in the cost of the video equipment plus your time (you *could* be doing your IT job as opposed to being video producer/editor/directory/grip/camera operator...) may result in identifying an appropriate budget for contracting this activity out. UNLESS you are interested, in which case, you should try to increase the budget to produce a decent product.

We need to put up a security system at our church building since we have had a lot of incidences recently. How?

We need to put up a security system at our church building since we have had a lot of incidences recently. However, looking online at surveillance systems there are so many different kind offered that it is confusing and difficult which to choose from. Is there anyone who can help me to pick the best system for my needs? My needs are as follows:

1.Up to 100 ft clear visibility day or night.
2.Outdoor (California)/weather resistant
3.At least one camera that can detect/read license plates
4.Good tradeoff between cost and quality.
5.4 cameras or more.



Answer
You could spend a lot of money trying to configure a custom system. That would ensure that you got the exact system that you want but for simplicity there are packages that are cost effective and come with everything needed to get the system up and running.

I would recommend a standalone package so that way you don't to worry about a PC. The DVR connects to the cameras and you can connect the DVR to a TV or a monitor and even view the video remotely via the web or iPhone/Android smartphone.
