Still deciding on the quantity of IP cameras. Thanks for the advice. To IP camera section of forum...

It's time to update the cameras on a dual NV8416E4 DVR computer. It currently is running 24 analog cameras. I'm looking for 1.3MP ~ 2.0MP IP dome or vandal proof cameras that have a water resistance rating of IP64 or higher. There are so many great choices for HD IP cameras now. Price range per camera $180~$250USD. What have you guys used & installed?

Version 7.7.0.39 is currently installed on the DVR PC. What is the newest version available to download. On http://surveillance.aver.com/ on the download page, there is a version released on 2011/06, but error on download. Thanks!

The system has TWO 6480 cards. What resolution are the IP MP cameras recording at?

I should have posted with using a IP MP cameras.

Anyone recording in 1920*1200 with MP IP camera w/ AVermedia? or Higher resolution? Which card(s)? Software version? Computer build?

Are there any stand alone DVRs that record higher then D1 resolution?

I tested CNB DFL-20s. It's color is very low light conditions. In extremely low light it does switch to BW. It switches back to color very fast with very minimal light. Pitch black room, it is grainy and completely dark, as expected. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Soundy. Are the VCM-24F ok for outdoor use? The spec sheet doesn't have a IP6x rating for weather/moisture.

Have you installed/used the CNB-BBM-24F or VCM-24VF? CNB HQ is local to me here in Los Angeles.

Thanks, All great questions. Environmental housing will be used. Both cameras point to a entrance/exit to an motel. The metal door swing open away from the camera. Field of view would be from door to street, entire sidewalk, 12ft wide. There is ambient light all day. Night viewing is required, low lux and/or IR needed. Backlighting maybe an issue for the east facing camera.

I have a client requiring two box cameras for outdoor use. Camera 1 - 15ft above ground level 17 feet from main entrance, pointing south. Camera 2 - 15ft above ground level, 20 feet from rear exit, pointing east. They have an existing standalone DVR. must be at least 520TVL must be analog must be color Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your input on your build. I've contacted USA AverMedia Tech support in regards to the H.264 limitation with 7.7.0.0015. This is their response: "Dear Customer, I was able to get some information about the issue that you are having, it is one of the limitation on the card due it to it being a software compression card so it relies more on the CPU to push the compression when in H.264. From the information that I was provided R&D will be pushing out a new software version that will allow you to achieve better FPS when using H.264 with CORE i7 chips. I don't know the exact amount or when this release will happen. sorry for the inconvenience." So, GV.Jackie is not correct about Core i7 CPUs.

Do you mean Core i7 socket 1366 or socket 1156? If you could be more specific it will help everyone's builds.
