Hi, I just had a pc made with a techwell 6805 16 ch card which runs iDVR4000 software. I have a 2 terrabyte hard as well. I paid $1500 for the for the PC, did I get ripped? Also I have the PC connected to a 32" LED LCD tv. I am unable to make the software stretch widescreen. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it even possible. Did I buy a total Piece of Sh*t?

Scratch that, it is a techwell 7816 which is a newer model card

Hello Everyone, I am opening a Supermarket which will have 16 cameras. I don't want to play games with my surveillance system. I am looking for a top of the line 16ch DVR that has PTZ control, built in DVDRW, a larg capacity hard drive (i don't mind adding a 1 or 2 tb drive myself as long as the price reflects not coming with hdd). I want it it have all useful features. I'm just confused because I see many from $600 usd to $1200. I don't want to be a cheapo, but I know that because some website charges more for their dvr doesnt mean it is better. Any guidance and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. LShap

How about something like this? http://www.primuscable.com/store/p/2473-16-Channel-H-264-DVR-W-1000-GB-Hard-Drive.aspx?feed=Froogle Is anyone familiar with this product?

Price range is about $1000-1200. Is a dvr the wrong idea as opposed to pc based or hybrid systems. Is my price range unrealistic? I have cpro vrd-135 vandal resistant domes with cb60h cameras. I dont have any ptz cameras yet but would like to upgrade to having a few in some key places once the business is open and there is some money coming in. Until then I hope to use the cb60h's and pick up some cheap IR cameras for night monitoring. Thank you everyone for helping me out here. http://www.cpro-cam.com/product/product/VRD135-CB60H-TDN-IV%281%29.pdf

I believer DVR is better for me at this point. I would require that it be networkable however. I would like to avoid buying a pc if I can achieve the same with a 16 channel dvr, dvdrw, netowrkable and can control ptz. what do you guys think? and which DVR should I go with. Thanks
