Got it sorted. Going to build new i7/Xeon machine to incorporate the HICAP200 with 16 analog cameras & also get a 16 port video server to convert the remaining analog cameras to IP. This will give headroom to add another 12 IP cameras. This will be running on LuxRiot Enterprise. Let you know how it goes!

Hi All, I have been given the task to be able to migrate our 2 PC based security servers into 1 single machine using 2 DVR cards. The cards to be used are a HICAP200 & MIS0816. The HICAP200 is currently in a Windows based machine & the MIS0816 is in a Securview Linux server. I have yet to find any software that will utilise 2 DVR's running 16 cameras each = 32 cameras. It would be nice to have some headroom to be able to upgrade to IP cameras which is the plan in the near future. Any help on if this can/can't be done & what software to use would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise would 2 servers & single client that displays both banks of cameras be better? Cheers Simon

Thanks for the info there guys. Soundy, you've hit the nail on the head there - large business but doesn't want to spend much money. Am going to have to approach the management team & advise the bad news with what they are wanting. Will tell them to just reinstall Windows on the machine that is playing up as a bandaid solution & then advise a budget required to go to full IP setup. We have ample hardware to build decent machines for the job. Am new to this stuff so I'm sure will have some more questions shortly. Thanks again!!
