Rory Do you mean Real Time motion Video, or Continuous (all the time) record? Thankyou all for giving me the information I'm looking for, the fog on which dvr card is starting to lift. My answer to the question (above) is that I'm looking to be able to record on 4 of the cameras in what I call real time look (without that jitter of missing frames on playback) and to be able to record 24 hours a day with all motion in the picture recorded. My example would be: If a person was walking in front of the camera then every footstep would be recorded. The dvr card I have at the moment seems to record with this staggered look on the moving object. I hope this answer helps, rory,

Hi to all, I'm new at this game of cctv and I am now looking for an other dvr card, as the one I have does not do all that I would like. First of all I'll start off with what I have so far... 6 camera's ( 2 colour and 4 bw) 1 not very good pci slot dvr card( bought from ebay, never again!) running on a 3.2gh Amd athlon in XP Pro with 1.5 gh of ram and 750GB of Hard Drive and a 512 memory graphics card. I'm looking for a card that will take all 6 cameras on board, 4 to record in real time and 2 to record with motion detection. Please could someone bring me up to speed as to which fps I should be looking for as I see so many different fps rates ie: 120fps and does this mean that if a card has 4 channels, that the 120fps is divided between the 4 channels or does it mean that each channel can do 120fps? The problem I have is trying to get to grips with what spec of card to buy, as I don't want to end up buying an over the top spec for what I need as my budget has to be kept to a minimum, but on the other hand I don't want to end up with somthing that won't do the job. I live in Europe so I'm going by the PAL fps. What card would you recommend? Many thanks in advance
