First off. Nice and informative forum This is my first time setting up cctv and would appreciate any info on how I can go about this. Scenario: Will use an 8ch DVR. 4ch will be viewable on the security officer monitor (local) while the remaining 4ch will be included in the recording to harddrive (covert recording). I was wondering if it is possible to set the cameras that can be viewed remotely thru user accounts? so that I can view all 8ch remotely even if 4 are set to covert recording. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Btw, I'm looking at avtech dvr's, any suggestion on which model that is capable of doing what I want to achieve? Thanks

@rory - sorry bout the confusion. reading and learning in the geo subforum now.

Thanks a lot guys

Hi everyone. would like to know if this can be done using a geo card. Scenario: Will use an 8ch card. 4ch will be viewable on the security officer monitor (local) while the remaining 4ch will be included in the recording to harddrive (covert recording). I was wondering if it is possible to set the cameras that can be viewed remotely thru user accounts? so that I can view all 8ch remotely even if 4 are set to covert recording. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@all - thank you guys for all the help/info. might as well go with a pc base system since geo cards are available locally. @thewireguys - philippines btw, geo cards do come with the cms software or do i need to buy it seperately. Again thank you very much

@thewireguys - thanks for the recommendation, problem is it's not available locally. Anyone with avtech products care to share their experience?

Wow! people here are fast. Thanks for the quick reply Soundy. Exactly what I intend to do. "Guard" is not allowed to view certain department in the office Anyone had experience with Avtech products as I got ony a handful brands available locally that is within the budget given. Does Geovision cards support this feature?
