Guest frosted Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 "PC hardware + LINUX + cards are OK." i would agree with this. have been running a homebrew dvr setup on linux for testing and has yet to fall over in 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tina Hu Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 If you just need a demostic application, PC-based dvr can satisfy all your need, may be a good choice. good extendbility and high rate of performance/price(if you had a computer, what u need just an 4-8 channels video card and a suit of dvr software, except for cameras) will beat your heart. Of course ,geovison have a good comment on its product ,but price and not bad video quality will make you go to us. u can have a try for free. http://www.netvisiondvr.com/reg/reg.htm any problem, MSN:tina0624dvr@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest intikab Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have installed a Geovision GV600 for a client (8 camera capability, 4 in use). I would say that it does hog resources so I wouldn't use the PC for too much else with the DVR running. The software seems pretty good but support is pretty basic. The reasone we decided on a PC based solution rather than a dedicated unit is because the client wanted remote viewing capability but didn't want to pay extra for a fixed-IP broadband connection. Not many units out there that handle Dynamic IP addressing well. Then again, that may be my knowledge that is lacking. One thing I would suggest is that you get a card that has fly leads rather than connections straight to the card. From my rather greater knowledge of PCs, I have found that some cards can work loose with the weight of the leads pulling on the card. Fly leads make connections a little easier too. IMHO.

Guest The Installer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 hi peeps my first post yay! We use Geo's with our anpr software in PC based clients, wouldnt really use them as general cctv If your gonna buy a capture card dont buy one with wavlet compression, it might use less hdd space but the playback is sub standard IMO hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
