No problem. I like the H.264 compression. I did a quick test of compressions for a single camera running for 1 minute: MPEG4 - 374MB MPEG4(ASP) - 174MB H.264 - 134MB

I am using V8.0 on the GV-1480-16 here. It is working fine. I do noticed that the CPU usage is better than V7.05. The default setting for the video is very bright also. It do give a false color but I guess you can see more features of the object. I went and update the ATI driver to 6.3 but it seem that I am having problem with that driver. It couldn't install one of the file and now I am having problem with overlay . Just have no time to fix this problem yet.

Don't scare me CollinR . I have just finished setting up a GV-1480 this PC spec: - Asus ATI EAX1600PRO/TD graphic card. - Asus P5WD2-E Premium motherboard. Maybe this info can help other who want to know if the parts work together. So far, it has only been running for about 15 hours, so no idea if I will getting into video problem.

Hi, I have been a lurker on this forum for awhile now trying to learn trick of the trade . But it seem that I need some advice for you experts. I have purchased a Geovision GV-1480 card and 14 in door and out door 480TVL day/night cameras. Will get another two hidden cameras later. What I am needing help on is what sort of PC components, out put display I should go for. I guess a list of what I want to setup would be easier to see. 1. Record all 16 cameras in HIGHEST possible resolution. 5 with audio. I am using PAL format. Because the cameras provide 480TVL resolution, should I record it at 640x480 or can I get better image quality at 720 x 576 resolution? I only need about 3 weeks max of storage and getting extra HD space is not a problem. 2. Monitor displays. This is where I am at a cross road. Here is a list of the displays I want to setup. a) Monitor connect to capture PC. b) a TV to display all the cameras (I guess the TV out from the GV card can handle this). c) 2 LCDs mounting next to the front door and back door, and possibly a third for the back room(no PC here). There is no room really for a CRT. Each one display up to 4 cameras on each and they are displaying different cameras from each other (front/back). What I am asking here is, should I split the camera's signal to go to the LCD TVs (expensive? camera's signal will become weaker?) or using a QUAD display computer system to display WEBCAM or TCP/IP viewing for each? Is QUAD display computer even possible? Can it done with the capture PC or I need another PC for this? What will the spec of PC need to be? Is VGA to CAT5 transmitter is all I need for this? The maximum distance to the PC will be 60m. Hmm, I think there is something else I need to ask but can't remember right now . I hope you guys can help me. Sorry about the English . Thanks in advance.
