Eh, they are probley trying to avoid having to deal with the flakyness of each of those companies low-end machines. Kind of a shame to put HP on that list, but since the Compaq side took over the desktop part....well now they act like Compaqs (flaky, weird and painful to work in) a shame really HP used to make some sweet cases to work on.

God no! Don't taint the machine by putting the foul evil that is ME on it...just don't do it! Even Gentroo can't remove the foul taint of ME.

The four drives in RAID?

I don't care for them, but I might have some bias.

Why the odd ratio? 480,960 = 852*480.

*coughs* Don't add a slash at the end if you're speficing the port number.

What is the protocall it's using?

The 1000 does do twice the frames then our v240. Our card has a TV out built in. Alot of our advantages are in the software. Our web client doesn't need an active-x plugin which means alot more browsers support it. Our files are fairly portable, since we use the Morgan Codec, most video playback software supports our files without any kind of re-encoding. Our user interface is alot cleaner (and 2.3 will be even better when we finish with it.) and our techincal support rocks (if I may say so.). If you call techincal support, you will reach myself, Phillip or James and we're in the same office as our coders.

We try to provide excellent techincal support. And for what we sell, we sell PCI cards and software bundles, as well as prebuilt systems.

As a general rule, any card in the first PCI slot with the AGP slot in use will give you some sort of error. Some cards take longer then others, and some show thier effects in wierd ways.

Did you try sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net? And how are you going to get the camera streams into the PC?

How badly are you abusing....er...overclocking those beasts?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and what it does is creat a connection between two computers or two networks over the internet. What is special about it is that the traffic that is sent is encrypted. Usually what it does is take all of the internet connections and route them through proxy server. Then it compresses the packets, encrypts them and routes them to the other proxy server. Then the client machine decompresses and decrypts them, in real time.

On the reciving side, is there a VPN client setup to accept the incomming VPN?

You would buy the cards from us. We don't do any embeded options right now, but we will set up a nice machine with the card and software preloaded, all you would have to do is configure any IP stuff, and plug in the cameras.

*coughs* Not to bring this thread back on topic or anything, but does anyone have any questions (about our software) they would like answered?

It pretty much is...it would be kind of hard for them to tell you are using it if you got a number in the US and just set up the equipment behind your router. A packet is a packet is a packet...and I belive some of the US companies offer encryption between you and thier server. Even if it's using an odd port, you could always change it and have someone set up a proxy server for you.

Man, what is legal for you? No VoIP, no satillite...next you'll tell me Lan gaming is illegal....

Um I think PPV is out of the question. We're pretty proud of our web client, no software to install on the client side and all major browsers work well with us. IE, Mozilla, Firefox, Konquer (and I'm assuming all of the KHTML browsers like Apples Safari), Opera, ect....

One shouldn't cheap out on the ram. And if god forbid you do use the off brand stuff, go grab a copy of memtest and do a 24-hour burn in test. Odds are pretty good that you'll see why it's the cheap stuff.

I'll pass that along Rory, any other requests?

Yep, that would be me. I can safely say I have some experance working with our software.

I thought IBM sold most of it's Hard Drive division to Hitachi? Still wouldn't use them, the deskstars have the weirdest behavior.

It sounds like the program doesn't like the pseudo-DOS that the NT kernels use for compatiblity. You may want to tweak the compatibility settings for it and see if that helps. If that's not an option, and they don't need the program 24/7, dual booting might not be a bad idea. Contrary to what MS says, you can dual boot Win98/XP, it's just not fun.

Bah, needs more cathode ray tubes, and a flicking USB thingy.
