Question regarding CCTV capabilities
Posted on 10/11/23 at 11:44 am

Scenario is a customer of mine wants to set up a slideshow CCTV for their display televisions across 4 floors.
They used to have a JANUS media player connected to the displays via a LAN, but at some point the media player went missing.
The televisions are still connected via CAT 6.
One of their employees thinks he is a cybersecurity guru so his suggestion is we hook a regular laptop via CAT 6 to the LAN and it will transmit the slideshow to all 4 devices on the LAN.
Am I crazy? There is no way that will work, right?

Would need some sort of media player on the other end. Can't just output video through lan. Where would it plug into? Can maybe use HDMI extenders over lan but they can be kind of temperamental with signal strength. I'm not up to date on what's currently out there but might be better off with some sort of NVR system and using web clients to monitor from each location.

Upload the slideshow to a webserver to broadcast.
