Hello All, Well my wife and I had a little baby girl at the end of Aug. and instead of buying 2 new baby monitors that would run me $400 decided to look into some different CCTV options and see if we could watch the girls in the backyard as well. First I tried some wireless IP cameras but the ones that were in my budget worked great during the day but without IR just went black at night which didn't work so well as a baby monitor. After my defeat with the wireless cameras I found a 8 channel DVR card and 2 outdoor and 2 indoor cameras with all the wiring for just under $300. Thought I scored and the wife would be happy but after getting everything and trying several times to get the DVR card working found out that it does not support AMD computers. I think the cameras I got are going to do the job so I am trying not to return those but instead just find a a new solution for the DVR part. Granted my wife and I really don't care about recording but we do want to hook it up to our computer monitor and be able to view remotely. I found a DVR at CCTVHOTDEALS DOT COM for $190 without HD but it will run with out it and then my wife and I can always add a HD if needed. My question is am I better off going with the Standalone DVR or is there a DVR Card that will work with an AMD computer that is cheaper than $190? Any input would be greatful. Thanks, Jeff

Well it looks like the card I bought does not support AMD processers So what cards are out there that will work with AMD?

What card would you recomend that won't break the bank? Using this to keep an eye on my 2 girls. Putting a camera in each of their rooms and one in the front yard and another in the backyard. Wanted the 8 channel so I can expand if needed

Hello All, My first post didn't go through for some reason so hopefully this won't be a dupplicate. Anyhow I just bought a 8 channel card from CCTVHotDeals and my computer meets all the requirements and sees the card and drivers were installed but when I try and run the software I get the following error: "Run-time error '32015: Clip Region boundary error" Not sure what I did wrong but if anyone else has had this problem please let me know. Regards, Jeff
