faf24

i have a dvr that i built from a dvr card from ebay (learned my lesson and next time i will buy a good old geovision). anyway i dont have enough money right now to buy a new geovision card. i was using anykeeper on my windows xp machine to record 4 cameras on my 240fps card. it freezes the whole computer after about 5 hours. i tried using the kd-net software also and the same problem. any suggestions windows xp pro 16ch dvr 240fps (uses 2 pci cards) 768MB ram 2.8GHZ Celeron

So its been a while but i finally upgraded the system. i got a intel core 2 duo 1.8ghz. via motherboard and a mx4000 video card with 1 GB ram and a 500GB SATA harddrive. i still am getting the lockups. i was fairly certain this large upgrade would fix the problem. any more suggestions? i also switched to windows 2000 pro.

ok i am trying out the old card in an intel based pc i got. I wanted to post some images of the card so here are the links to the pictures of it. I thought they might help. I cant post them directly because of the 10 post rule but if you go to picturetrail and type in faf24 there the only 2 pictues i have.

i think i am just going to get a geovision card. are the older models ok? i need a 16ch video 8 audio card.

ok i tried a few things and i am still having problems. i found an agp mx400 geforce 2 video card and tried that, and its still freezing. I also tried to reformat using 1 partition for windows and another just for camera recordings. It froze then also. Finally i disabled all the services on startup and it still locked. i am becomming a little discouraged. if noone has anymore advice i will try the cards in a different machine and see what happens. thanks

i paid $249

would it help if i posted a picture or scan of the dvr card?

i am not sure if my software is bootleg because the cd is not like a cd-rw it is actually a pressed cd but i dont know about the card. i got it from lammensco on ebay (cameraimport) and i think it was a dvr-2800. it has 2 pci cards connected with a ribbon cable to a header. 16 video 8 audio. i tried KD-Net 2.50.16.0 i was trying to record 4 channels of video. i set it up and it records and the computer responds but when i come back the next day the computer is completly frozen. no response from anything. i am using the onboard video chipset. before using kdnet i was using anykeeper which came with the card version. The only other software on the machine is the software for my ELO touchscreen i am using this with. The cd that came with the card is labeled LW-WDT adding some details: motherboard/chipset: MSI PM8M-V Socket 478 VIA P4M800 power supply: Echostar a power gold deluxe 580 Watt 80GB Western Digital (set on recycle)
