AutoM8

Hello, New to this card. I am running it on Windows 7 64 bit, and I seem to have a problem with the tv out signal. When I start GV, I see the tv display flicker a second, but thats it. All other aspects of the card are working properly. Im trying to output to a Sharp Aqous LCD flatscreen tv. Any tips would be appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am interested in building a state of the art, best you can get 16 channel DVR. I have read several different items at several different boards, and have come to the following conclusions, knowing VERY little about the hardware and software out there. Money is not the issue. I want to build a first class system that will serve me well, and be upgradeable as new technologies emerge. I want to be able to use PTZ cameras easily, be able to detect and record motion across all 16 cameras, be able to display 16 thumbnail images of these cameras, and obviously record video off all of them at an acceptable rate (15fps?) I think I am looking more for a suggestion on a DVR card and software, not necessarily, a bundle though. From my limitied knowledge it looks like Blue Cherry makes nice cards, and I have started to look at Blue Iris as it has the ability to bring in CCTV cameras, as well as IP based cameras into one view. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated to getting me started right.

So I have decided to purchase a 16 camera, 400FPS Geovision card, GV1480A PCI-Express 16Ch 400FPS with 16CH DSP, 16CH AUDIO Also, to host the card, I have decided on this PC, as I will need this system to tuck away into a small area. http://us.shuttle.com/J3_5800P.aspx combined with a 3.0 GHZ i7 processor, and 8GB of DDR3 memory, and a few 2 TB drives. Anyone see anything wrong with this set up? From what I can tell, its got everything I need. I wont be accessing this system from the console much, so I think the on board graphics card will be sufficient. What do you think? I also am under the assumption that a setup like this will allow me to run traditional CCTV cameras, as well as adding Megapixel cameras later, as future budget allows? Also, would I be better off using two 8 camera cards?

The megapixel cameras look awesome. I think I am going to start with GeoVision, some analog cameras, and a couple of Megapixel cameras and work my way up. I have both CCTV spider wire, as well as cat5 going to all of my camera locations, so I can do both! Thanks for the image samples, they were helpful.

Oh, wow this is potentially great news, as I have several small Atom systems around here as well. So you think the 16 camera 480 FPS card, with say a dozen cameras, can be handled by an Atom based system? That is excellent news. I already have Homeseer running on one of these Atom boxes in the same space (Dont worry its got plenty o vents). I had read somewhere that an I7 was necessary to handle a total of 16 cameras at 15 fps each. Or I could probably run Homeseer, the capture card, and a small city off of the same i7 in the space.. I plan to run 64bit Windows7 on this system, so I think the extra RAM and CPU wont go to waste.
