Hey People Needing some advice; I'm planning to connect three cameras 12v 100mA to one 12v 400mA power supply. Which method is best in terms of current/power flow; PS []----------------- cam1 | |----- cam2 | |----- cam3 * Running one length then splitting 3 towards the end of cable run after 20m PS []----------------- cam1 -------------- cam2 -------------- cam3 * Running short length (.5m) then splitting 3 torwards the end of cable run (20m down)

You can turn ATX power supplies on by shorting pin 3 and 4 if I remember exactly. Just have a custom switch. Nobody stocks AT power supplies anymore these days. It be a nice experiment. Attached is to a UPS if you want. Or use a redundant ATX power supply.

Ok after replacing a power supply on a server for a client. A thought came up. Would it be adequate to use an ATX power supply to power up CCTV cameras? I'm thinking.. a 350w power supply. Typical spec sheet: http://www.pctoys.com/840556000587.html An average power supply comes with 4 x 12v leads and 2 x 5.5v leads. I don't know much about electronics. I don't think these PS are regulated. 12v leads are 16A max load. Any opinions?

Does the luxriot support capture cards with standard BNC/RCA connectors? I downloaded the demo but it seems it could only add IP based cameras? Any other DVR software you recommend?

Entering the field. Thanks for all the responses people! If you have any other DVR software recommendations for Windows XP or prefably Linux/BSD. Roll them in!

I just checked out your website. Your software looks very good! Does it support history playback remotely? Lets say I want to preview a certain clip 2 days ago at a specificed time frame.

Hello Thomas! For CCTV use. From 4 to 32 cameras. Paid software is fine. Its for both home and business. Also. If the software supports 2nd/DUAL display mode. Lets say I have 2 19" LCD screens side by side. My video card supports DUAL display. So if I have a 32 camera set up. I can split the cameras in 16 each LCD. I assume you mean the skin/GUI of a casino set up? I'm considering looking at Windows XP Embedded platform. Have the DVR developed inhouse. But I think the development and licensing costs will be too much :/

What DVR software would you recommend for Windows and Linux? Stand-alone and OEM. Paid and freeware

If you are deploying a DVR system based on XP Home or Pro operating systems. You can use the built in cd writing software that comes with XP. It supports a lot of CD writer models. This is when you don't have Nero or other 3rd party CD writing software.
