Hello All!
I've been reading the forums trying to find answers but everything is so disperse, and there is sooo much info. Hopefully this post will answer some questions and/or lead me to the right direction.
I'm looking for a nice card to build a decent PC Based DVR. I currently have a 8 year old DigiMerge stand alone DVR and I have hit the limitations wall. For example, it doesn't work with my iPhone (unless I purchase an expensive add-on); Searching for specific times in recorded content feels like using a VCR; It stops recording if you want to look into recorded stuff.. etc.
I built a Geovision GV-650 system that worked fine. Not what I was expecting, but worked. I then realized the card was fake, the seller didn't informed and well, I don't want to fall into fake again. The GV-650 does fine, but I want more. I want smooth, almost or full real-time recording/viewing, the ability to watch from my iPhone and multi user support, etc.
I don't have a problem with building the system, configuring the network, etc. My problem is with selecting the right DVR card.
Also, in cameras, which one do you recommend. I have these old 320x240 capable cams (or so, I think). Are there any better resolution cameras out there? What's the pricing and what do you guys recommend.
Thanks for your time and for anything in advance!
