Thanks for your replies so far.

The Win2008R2 server is also being used as a fileserver so i don't want to enable autologon. I know it would be preferable to have a separate server dedicated to CCTV, but at the moment it's all on one.

The current system has 2 analog cameras and the aviosys 7100 video server, so I'd like to continue using these cameras instead of replacing them with ip cameras.

Ideally i want to replace the aviosys 7100 with a DVR card, and run software on the server that will do the job of recording - but also allow occasional snapshots to be placed on a website.

I've heard that geovision can be run as a service, but i think that only applied to Win XP and not 2008.

The Robox Baracuda would do the job, but i'm not sure whether you can extract a picture from each camera at regular intervals?

Thanks for your help

Hello,

I’m looking for a CCTV solution that will tick all these boxes:

A server based solution with DVR Card

Run as a service on Windows 2008R2 64bit

Allow snapshots to be taken from each camera every ten (or so) minutes for upload to a website

Or

A dedicated solution like the robox barracuda

Allow for snapshots to be taken and uploaded to a website (or alternatively allow a script to grab a jpeg from the DVR)

I’ve looked at luxriot which will do all I want, but it won’t allow snapshots to be saved every ten minutes. I’ve looked at the robox barracuda, but it doesn’t seem to allow snapshots to be taken either. I looked at geovision, that does everything but doesn’t run as a service. I-Catcher also does everything, but won’t run as a service.

I want to run it as a service, so that it starts as soon as the server starts. I can’t do autologon for security reasons.

Any help appreciated.

Chris
