I have a customer ( a construction company, ) who has recently installed security video cameras at 3 small malls that he has built and manages. Currently, the video is stored on a 500 gig harddrive on a local server physically at his corporate office.
His idea ( he did this before becoming my customer) was that every month ( which is how long it takes for the hardrive to fill up) he would then archive the video, in case the customer needs it for some reason, and then start again the next month with a clean harddrive.
You can imagine the problems… takes forever to make the backups… he has no way to really store that much data…

also he wants the customers to be able to actually log in and view the videos live, if they want, and to be able to download their own video archives, if they desire….

oh, almost forgot— he has finished 3 other properties and wants to expand to 15 surveliance cameras!

Sounds like a web based solution may be better, with web cams… but not sure the best way to do this, that wont cost the customer thousands of dollars a month in bandwidth charges… anyone out there have any suggestions?
