Good point. Any other ones to look for? I was thinking Blue Iris but I would guess it can't do AHD or TVI? My house has a lot of coax and 12 volt run and IP is going to be a real pain to wire. I know wifi is an option, but the camera still needs power which is why i like the idea of the analog HD.

Thanks for the fast reply. Any recommendations for a card or DVR that will do both? Is Geovision the go to now?

I have a NV5000 Avermedia setup that is due to get updated, are they out of business or stopped making CCTV devices? Even if they are not supported will the NV card support TVI or AHD? I have a second NV5000 card i could use, but am i just beating a dead horse since this is still on Windows XP. The current setup is 3 analog cameras and one IP. Thanks for the input.

Yes I have a newer ATI card if I remember correct, HD4550?? 1gb with HDMI, VGA and such with the latest software.

??? RAM software? I'm maxed out with the 3.something gb on xp pro.

I uninstalled the software last night and had a hard time getting the PC to reboot and the software to open. It seems like I had to remove the card after powering down, restart with the card out, shut down, install the card, reboot and try opening the software. It ended up getting to late and i gave up for the night. The program flashed open for a second and then did an auto restart??? I gave up then. Any way to tell if this is the NV7000 vs the NV7000H? Nothing on the card itself like the NV5000 has.

I picked up a NOS NV7000H....I think. There are no markings on the board, but looking at images on the net I'm pretty sure that is what this is. My system currently have a NV5000 running, can I just power down and swap out the two cards? Could I run both at the same time? The reason for the cheap purchase is that I did buy my first IP camera and I might put another analog one in the system which puts me at 5 and my card is only a 4 channel. This NV7000 should be a 8 channel with all of the compression done with the card and not the PC. Thanks for the help. Dave

Are you still using the VGA output and the same resolution when going to the TV?

Is version 7.7.0.0127 the latest for the NV5000 cards? After a year I got the bug to update the software to the latest. I never did find out why I had such a problem with these email alerts. Dave

No solution. I had to reinstall a few times and went back with a version older than the most current. If seemed to work after letting it be for a day or so. No idea why it happened and how it now works. I still get a ton of emails due to the shade or sun even after messing with the sensitivity.

I was getting some blank emails and some random emails that did work on Friday with using input 4 rather than input 1 on the card. Over the weekend i switched it back and setup a new email notification for the input 1 again with no luck even today. I still get the email just no image attached. The two other cameras work fine via email and I can see all three on the DVR program so it's not like the card is messed up. This is odd. Dave

Would I be better off using the change or missing alarm rather than motion? All I'm really looking for is if a car pulls up or someone or creature would be walking around my house? I did add this feature for the one camera we had problems with and it seemed to have worked the one time this morning, but the motion one did not send an email.

But even before I do that shouldn't hitting the test account button send out an image and show me if it's working or not. This morning I swapped my camera 1 to the camera 4 input. I will see how this pans out during the coarse of today.

I looked and in the past was running 7.7.0.039 if that means anything.

No real luck with the reinstall and not importing the old settings. I was starting to get some images before the reinstall, but still not from camera one. I even switched the inputs around on the card with no luck, cameras seem fine. I wonder if it just pays to go back to my old version from the CD. Any ideas? BTW right now after messing with it for a few hours after the fresh install I get no images on the emails from all three cameras. I can watch them and look at the old recordings, which I have in the smart setting doing MPG3.
