Guest marky Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 as you all know my dvr has bust, had to come to drastic measures and use a pci card. does anyone know how to set this up for remote veiwing on the internet and what ports it needs and stuff as i am sick of banging mi head against the wall these past few days
Rich Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 What card did you get, and what software does it have with it? There are various ways to access your pc over the net, VNC is probably the easiest if you have your own computer to use at the remote location. Other than that you will need some form of video server and software. James Wilson has been working on some remote software for windows, maybe he can help you out too.
Guest marky Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 i here is a link to the card http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...s_promot_widget
Cubit Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 i here is a link to the card http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...s_promot_widget Oh dear, at the risk of offending, i can't help feeling you like grief. Un named brand (as far as i can see) again, bought on the cheap. At least it has a guarantee, provided one came with unit - if you can trust it. To me, the company name tells you to beware 'Oldham Wholesale Lighting'. Now, they may be a decent lot, but really, is it worth it??

cutwitt Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Looks like a UCC4 dvr card with a single bt878 ADC and if so, belongs in a museum of horrors. The card plus software is notoriously unstable and recordings are poor at best - that said you may find the software at http://www.picolive.com/ better for remote view. It may not work but at least the trial is free.
cutwitt Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 cutwitt you prefer the saa chips then?ive always quite liked the bt series Never liked either to be honest James. They both have their flaws. Bt series has been around a long time so more apps are around that will work with them but they are only basic ADC chips. With these chips in video capture boards all the hard work of video compression is left for the CPU to do - hence the often encountered instability problems (not helped by Windose!). Take a look at the spec on the TI DM64x series of DSPs. You should see why I think the bt series belong in a museum.

I suppose these help with framerates, and reduce the need for multiple bus's securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
