Techno help

This has been ignored for two days in the correct forum. So I cut and paste... feel free to go to the techno forum if you like to answer.



Hi all. I have been incredibly busy lately. I just bought a new building, and it is a total rebuild on the inside. It was once a boat dealership. The building is metal, and is about 5000 sq ft. The outside just needs a facade. The inside is a build out.

Long story short - I want to wire it for now and for the future.

Here is what I need now -

1. A 14 x 24 conference room that is set up for multimedia and video conferencing. I need to be able to do remote depositions for attorneys. That means that I need video cameras, microphones, recorders, and a way to monitor with video. The other thing is that I need to be able to broadcast it securely by the web to a remote computer.

I also want to be able to project on a screen, and for others to remotely project onto a screen. I really don't know where to start.

I have some equipment already - (1) Tempest 8000 4 camera hard drive recorder with server capacity, and at least 8 Sony color cameras. Can I use these?

2. I want to hook up each room with the latest in wiring. I have about 15,000 feet of Cat 6, and at least 3-1000 ft spools of fiber optic phone line. Is there a reason to run the fiber optic? Is there another cable that I need to run? Can I run the phone system off of Cat 6?

I also have a bunch of Cat 5 and Cat 5E. What is the difference in those and Cat 6? Can I mix them?

3. I need a telephone system with at least 8 stations and 4 lines, expandable to 16 x 8. Is there a "best buy?"


Lastly - I bought a warehouse full of networking crap. I have boxes of connectors, wires, racks and patch cables. Anybody need a good deal on some stuff? I probably have 500 6' patch cables each individually wrapped. I smell a deal.

you pay for my plane ticket, and put me upo for a couple of days, Ill hook it up

 

That sounds like about the best deal out there.

You should be able to run everything off of Cat6, plus you would probably be better going with VoIP anyways. I think for around 150.00 a month you can get business select from Knology (Comcast only competetion) at 8megabits down, I think the up is around 1mg.

Let me know about the networking stuff you got, I could always use an extra patch panel or some cabling.

 

they love berry when he walks into radioshack "here's that guy we can sell $5000 worth of crap he doesn't need"

 

And the extended warranties to go with it.

Doesnt Cisco make a pretty inexpensive VoIP switch/system? Plus if he ponies up for an ArrowNet he can have a chordless VoIP phone so he can act like he is in his office when he is really on the crapper!

 

I might just do that.

Wait - Do I have to feed you too? That might make the deal too expensive.

 

yeah they do actually, and it has a digital display on the VoIP router, touch screen thats pretty freakin sweet

 

yeah Im like a bum, feed me, give me booze/drugs and you never really get rid of me, without a restraining order

 

Zee virst zing ve need is a disco ball... Let zee ladiezzz know vhat iz in store...

 

Dear Jeff,

Please stop creating new identities for yourself.

 

Apparently this one was created back in '03...

Does this still mean it's "new?"
