this is true, even the cheapies from AVTECH can do MPEG2 now, mind you a lot of casinos are switching from DVR's to NVR, the reason is that they can store the data at the camera end, and only get it when needed, or they transmit on MPEG4 and then when they need to retrieve they can get it from the camera on MPEG2 quality... Lots of hybrid DVR's coming out now too, and the best bit, no extra wiring, just do it all on an encrypted wireless network

Its already starting its called "open Protocol" or something, a group of companies are doing this, this will be the way all hardware speaks to each other and is a standard protocol for all products, I think many already use this!!

If you use an XF camera by bosch, you can run RG59 1000 meters without an amp at all!!

Thats cool man, i havent cooked as meal in over 5 years!!

awww god!!!! well the only and i do say ONLY word that is actually used here in Australia, that you actually listed there was...Mate!! the rest is pure Garb, its so funny what the world percieves us as, i once ahad a friend beleive i rode a kangaroo to work!! LOL We as Austrlains are percieved to live in the Bush, drink heaps of piss, (oh that means beer) have sex with loads of Sheilas (that means women) Surf all of the time, Eat tuns of Grub (that means food) and fart a lot..... and the truth is... we really dont live in the bush Mind you do you realise that we think Americans, cant go to black subburbs without getting murdered, Invaded Iraq for Oil, havea small I.Q's all are like the people on Ricky and Gerry Springer and love to blow everything up and everyone is fat and eats supersized food, apparently you are all too loud an uneducated..... aint it strange how wrong people can percieve stereotypes to be!!

Maaaaaaan, we all need to get out more!!!

Rory, you had better retract this false statement

LOL, Naughty Boy!!!

what about my XDA2 Mini, I must say it feels like my ears are burning some times, is it safe to have that LCd against my head all day, and what of blue tooth?

nah there all a pack of bastads and we all hate each other.... now wheres the icon for sarcasm??? is this it.....

No its all good, just returning his leisure suit!! good ol leisure suit larry!!

Theya re, but they are embedded, so really cant be doing much mukin around, they lock you outa everything man!!! its so dishartneing!!!

hardly a DVR expert when workin on standalones dude!! only want to change that part

i asked larry, got no response..... will ask herm next time he is in here, hay ur always here, I am sure you know how to do it, I dont want a new one, i am coming second in POSTS LOL

firstly change the video source to 640x480sw, then egt rid of your cruddy LCD and get a good CRT, then you will see some small improvement, but not close unti the DSP card is introduced and still not as good as raw analogue

Your right about FPS!! as for your digi cam, sure yes its a high quality image, but minimal compression, imagine trying to capture 25 of those images in one second and then at that resolution, have a geez at the size of your clear file, multiply that by 25 then by 60, then by 60 again and then by the number of cams you have connected and you will geta n hourly storage figure tnd then you relaise why the chip only does that sized resolution, ohhh and it would be boocooo more expensive! hay if you want resolution then best bet is to go for megapixel I.P. cams, if ONLY you have the bandwidth

Big companies dont use email... trust me i know!!! I dont know the rep, just email Bosch USA and they should be able to tell you!

not sure yet, but me thinks just above

Bite me Baby!!! wanting to change my name too but cant.. no longer a DVR expert, hardly much to be an expert about with Standalones....but its all good, wish i could change my name though

1/ It wont be perfect every time, but it does not need to be with Fibre!! Fibre is definately the way to go... ;lets face it, it will all move to I.P cams, we ALL know that, and what is going to be needed (at least for some time) is boocoo bandwdth, you see to transmit one camera at 12Fps at 4 cif in mpeg4 is roughly 200kbps, now imagine 16 of them, of course there are network iP solutions that support local recording options, and YES I know that eventually there will be flash ram big enough, it is far too expensive. so to record at 50 FPS on 10 cams is 5fps,, that equates to roughly 800Kbps per camera @ 4 CIF so x 10cams and recording for 30 days you will need 1.6 terrabytes on average Mpeg4 and you would need 8000Kbps upstream to watch it all at once and that is at 12fps, so Bandwidth will laways be the issue, my advice, Run fibre, learn to splice and be prepared!!

reason is the PCI bus can not handle more than that size, until you buy onboard compression chips, PC's have this limitation. yes there is a bit of difference, not massive but considerable!

Whoaaa!!! so many things.. 1/ On the Geo you are looking at a digitised image processed by a chip and then rendered by a video card to go to your LCD, it will never compare to a straight analogue input. 2/ SIZE BABY you will find that by defualt Geo is set to 320x240 (pal) and when on your telly it is 768x576 (pal) quite a difference, you can adjust your video source on the Geo for 640x480 if you like and choose SW interlacing this will increase the quality of your viewing. 3/ After changing the size you then can change the rendering and interlacing options if your video card supports hardware overlay, and THEN change the recording resolution as well, I AM BETTING u will ask..."why does Geo set it at such a small resolution by defualt?" well best way to explain is to run a frame count on 320x240, then run it again on 640x480 and watch how many frames the PC Drops, so in order for them to say 100FPS they rate it at 320x240, so in essance the kalatel or Divar might only record at 50FPS but in reality its more like 100FPS because they are recording at 768x576 (pal) or close to it, this is a cheating way to make the machine sound fast. 4/ yes the Real time card will help, the reason is that on your 600 card you have 1 chip, rated for 25FPS Pal, and then you have several cams running through it, the Real time card has (oops cant remenber) but i think 16 chips rated for 25FPS pal, so it can handle the pace without problems, the other thing is it works like an overlay and looks very similar to an anologue display, just not as good. 5/ using a standalone will allow you to get very similar to the same as what you see on your telly (if you get one that displays a full resolution that is), but you will probably have to sacrifice recording rate becasue the procerror is not as big to capture the frames, unless you go for hardware onboard compression...and that my freinds is a whole new story again!!

bosch's new to be released Dibos 8 will have up to 30 ch support of analugue inputs and also supporst I.P. cams and web servers

the true measurement of a lens should be measured in T factor NOT F stop as F stop is only the diameter divided by the focal point which does not equate to the amount of light let in, But the T factor can truly separate 2 lenses with the same quoted F stop as it can differentiate between glass grounding quality. Is this true?
