likeafish Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Im building a DVR for my parents to use in a bar. I take it i just take your average pc and throw in a couple of capture cards and some software? Can anyone recommend me any software? There will be 8 cameras in total. I've used google, tried a couple of free samples and tbh, they were all pretty //.B.W.F.//! What do you lot use? , Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neutech Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Geovision for PC based is the only stuff we use But to be honest you would be better off using a dedicated DVR for a 8CH application Click the banner on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alarm Protection Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Again i would use a stand alone DVR for the job that can be networked so your parents can view the pictures from their house. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 it does depend on the OS as well. While i like windows on my deskop...do i trust it to run for months on end and never fall over? in short no. But the server versions of windows are more stable and with the right hardware (with certfied drivers) then yes it does have a chance. You could also use Red hat or similar enterprise Linux with high uptime. worth all the hastle of using it.... probably not unless you have very specialised needs.
