What I'm trying to do ...... Set up a small home security system with 2, possibly 3 cameras using a PC with a DVR card. Just have a few questions, I'll try to be brief. 1) Which DVR card will give me the best bang for the buck? Currently looking at a Geovision GV-250-4 . Willing to spend more if necessary. 2) How worried should I be about FPS rates? If a card is rated at 20 FPS, and I have 4 cameras, do I get 20 FPS on each camera or do I divide by 4? What framerate will give me decent picture quality? 3) I would like to have at least one wireless camera included in my setup. Can I use a wireless camera with the Geovision card? What additional equipment do I need to do this? A Wireless card? Router? The distance from the camera to the P.C. will be no more than 100 feet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks every1.

OK that makes total sense now. Good to know that it's stable with the AMD/VIA setup. Thanks for the info rory. What about using a wireless camera?
