This is because mortise locks aren't found in residential construction. Your condo palace needs one of these bad boys. http://www.sargentlock.com/products/product_overview.php?item_id=160 Hope you have an old Palm lying around to program it!

BigFactory posted:Unless you have the camera mounted at car level you're not going to read a plate. Cameras are good at letting you recognize people you know, a lot less good for anything else. Nah, license plates are retroreflective and modern LPR cameras can work well at up to 45 degrees off axis. These cameras are specially designed for that purpose, though and cost $thousands. Also they're only good for license plates. You need another camera for everything else. And they only work in a very small area - you need a bottleneck like a driveway to force the cars through... ...Yeah, for all intents and purposes, you're pretty much right. Carry on.

http://www.rutherfordcontrols.com/en/products/electric-locks/ Pair one of those with an HID edge? Might be a bit expensive, and you need to run power, though. Assa has a wireless battery powered version, but that's even more expensive. You're cutting holes no matter how you slice it, really.

I understand the concept. I'm just saying all the off the shelf solutions I know of are geared towards enterprise environments and aren't really what you're looking for. I definitely wouldn't recommend building something without a key backup unless you want to rip the doors off when the battery dies.

blackknight5k posted:Thanks, I'm going to talk to my realtor friend (who is also my realtor) and see what she says, if she says it won't increase the value much I may go with a home brew system because I've always been interested in home automation. I agree with BigFactory. You're much better off putting that money towards a good gun safe bolted to the floor. Edit: Just to be clear, to positively ID somebody, you're probably looking at spending hundreds, if not thousands. And even the most expensive system can be beaten by a balaclava.

You can do it on that budget IF you install for free. Axis A1001 controller (~500), Kantech KT-4GFXS biometric reader (~1000), electrified door lock or strike (depends on what you need for the door), power supply for lock/strike (If needed), Banana peel cabling. Things you will learn doing this: -You will spend at least 24 man hours installing this if you know what you are doing and are familiar with the products. You probably aren't and need to expect to spend at least a man week. -The customer will probably hate it because they have to add people to both the reader and the controller. -Fingerprints are TERRIBLE. There's a reason nobody uses them. You can't afford anything good in the biometrics world. -If you do it wrong, the fire marshal or AHJ will push your poo poo in. -Even if you do it right, many/most states require a license to install this stuff. Sounds like your client isn't worth it. Edit: Just saw the camera requirement. Hold on while I laugh at you. KillHour fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 13, 2016 |

Foe Hammer posted:I'm no camera expert, (more of a networking & security guy) but at 1-4fps your basically taking still shots and not video. The minimum a camera needs to run to get "live video" is 30fps to get clear video your going to want more fps per second. This couldn't be more wrong. Most security camera installations run at 7.5 or 8 fps. Having clear, high quality images is more important than having smooth video. The bigger problem is that wireless cameras are generally crap. You need to run power to them anyways.

Next-Gen posted:I would say a lot of people run at 15 or 20 as well as stuff like 6 or 10, but even 30fps is not uncommon. The only real importance is the bitrate captured at and the shutter speed/exposure settings the cam is configured at to capture a clear picture. People will crank down framerate for situations that they want to maximize clarity but at really low rates it can affect quick movement capture between areas. While you are technically correct in that sometimes having smooth video is more important (casinos, for instance), those situations will never come up in a home setting. It's easier to just ignore the exceptions to the rule when they wouldn't apply anyways.

Sure, but when you want both, cost goes up or retention goes down. Most people would call 8 clear anyways.

Isn't there a software-only version of the Ubiquiti NVR that he can put on his PC, though?

I generally haven't had many USB passthrough issues with ESX 6.
