Depending on your application, following could be considered "big" in v8.0:
1. H. 264 codec
2. Privacy mask
3. Instant playback (all casino wants this feature)
4. Customized menu: When you click the Configure button you used to see a long list of features of which not all clients will use. You may make them go away from the menu now. Same as those in the Network button, for example, now you can make Twin Server, Modem... go away from menu, if you know you or your client will never use them.
5. The "evil" eye some of us may have complained -> it is gone from the software interface.
6. POS live viewer: If a customer returns to store 5 min. later questioning a transaction, you could scroll up the Live Viewer and immediately click on and play back the transaction on-screen without having to go to ViewLog.
7. The big thing in v8.0 is really the Control Center, but it is up for optional purchase since it is only useful if you will need to manage more than one DVR (actually, more than several DVRs). With this feature you could remotely configure and troubleshoot a remote DVR, say, for your client. Also it accommodates 64 channels in live and in playback, 256 channels (on four screens) depending on your VGA card. The relational I/O in Control Center is also a big leap.
