? for GrouchoBoucho are you doing CCTV for living or End user ? Thx

Agree ! lately 75 % of my sale with Avigilon go this way I help with design,supply, setup if need it Customer does labour portion Everybody happy

In past was lots of discussion and "hot"debates about this question in CCTV forum

I think the point is Record in jpeg but transmit in H.264 I am glad Avigilon has Jpeg2000

Where did you see VMS with loss less recording ( not compressed) ?

I'll give you a another hint ! stop investing in crap get megapix cams

What is VCR ?

What ever u do u need I/O (input/output) so if comp then u need capture card plus options for IP or NVR with IP servers like Avigilon for example and I/O card and few more combinations are avail lots of choices

Hmm,I don't see any I/O on back of your DVR

At least u admitted being wrong I respect that

Mike stop it give him some time to digest "Critic" need some time

would you like me to show and explain this to you using TeamV ?

I was waiting for him to mention bandwidth meter of some type but....

"They" get "Prime" directly from Korea "they" get oem faceplate for their DVR u will not be able to cut them "them" out but .....

Lets do Team viewer session and show to me plz how your server not reading stream

When the NVR server is running, it's a service on Windows, it's no displaying anything. When you run the client, clearly it has to stream at that point but you can chose to have it use a lower res stream for this purpose, but record the hi-res stream (assuming you have a camera with the dual streaming feature). Common buellwinkle even when it's service on win it still "collecting" IP streams from cameras for recording u should know this now are we talking about remote client or local client or both

Hmm , so if it's not continously streaming how do you get Pix on screen ?

You can run Teamviewer as service and then easily find your IP I personally use NO-IP

Well, I can't tell anything about Dahua because I haven't used them, but so fat I have been using about 10 DS-4016 HCI cards and did not have any problems with them so far. I have one server with 4xDS-4016 HCI running unattended for more then 3 years. I am visiting that server about twice a year. Regarding Dahua picture - again, in still picture the difference is not so bad, but in live video especially when you know how it look before - the difference is very very bad, it is awful. I am not very picky but I would not change one of my 12 frames HCI 16 channel card to a pair of 25 frames VEC card. Why pay big money for quality cameras if Dahua will make them work like a 15 dollars worth junk camera? But if someone will point me how to solve the picture quality issue I would switch to Dahua, because they are twice cheaper and have 25 frames. I would trade Dahua card for HIK anytime sold and install few hundred few years back was very happy with HIK but heard enough problems with Dahua do not offer HIK anymore switch to only IP and HD-SDI

I would start with network stress test

Do you mean when you zoom in with the camera, or when you zoom in on the recorded video? Good question yes, on recorded video 1.zoom in 2.without zoom in

Well u can be easily prove wrong I can show u plate completely white under IR ( as u call white rectangle) but when u zoom in u can easily read plate Of course how it's done is BIG secret

OP was not talking about OCR at all He simply want to capture best possible shot of Lic plate Shall I type slow for you ?

I am more conservative 75 pix minimum per foot even day time

my 2 cents:) evev if Dahua upgrade to latest ONVIF to me it does not mean that Avigilon will do motion recording from Dahua cameras time will show
