yup, just an extra protection against piracy. if your card is genuine then you should have no problem. You can contact geovision directly as a matter of fact.

well im using a albatron via chipset and its working fine. one thing though, kodicom doesnt work with windows xp. windows 98 is the best for 400r card. pm me if you need updated software for ur capture card. I have it.

ya rory, go ahead. I am always open for knowledge. one question though - arent they expensive? and i finally found a dvr card that alerts you through phone alert when it detects intruder. Will a standalone dvr be able to do that?

if you look in the description, it says oem softwares can be used if any hardware is purchased with it. If i am building the pc, and supplying the software with hardware isnt this legal?

yes linux IS free. but one backside to it is that most dvr...i mean almost all dvr cards only support windows. by the way, i found a website. Can anyone varify its genuinity? from its looks....i would say it is but then again the prices taunt me. http://www.cs2g.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2583

oh and i found a source for windows xp home edition that costs only 80 bucks. is it ok to use this with dvr systems? thanks..all helps appreciated

im a feshman studing in computer science @ mit. Not too much of an expert with dvr systems but i built a few and they were happy with wat they got. So i thought why not get paid for it? could be my part time job. By the way, does anyone know of a source where i can get windows 2000 cds? im thinking they would be a lot cheaper. and oem cds, if i use them do they even have any way ok knowing? i mean they cant just come to my customers house and grab their mouse and keyboard.

how does the whole alarm thing work? a lot of dvr cards say that it notifies you through email when the alarm goes off. do you actually have the set up an alarm system? or is it just used as a term?

hey guys, i am new to this forum so dont pick on the rookie. I am starting a security system business in the usa where i will install pc dvr based systems in retail stores and such. I have everything set up except for one thing. dvr card. I've tried kodicom 4400r dvr cards but it doesnt have the ability to send phone alerts through voice modem. do you guys know of any dvr card that is allowed to do that? also, i want to rebrand the software when i give it to my clients. I am going to build the computers myself therefore hoping to give them a lower price than the other companies here. by the way...quick question, is it ok to install the same windows xp (vlk) cd on every system i build? because its ridiculous how you have to pay 300 dollars for a freakin windows system. P.S. gv has some stupid sms alert system but thats the same thing as email if you just send the email to phonenumber@serviceprovider.com any help is appreciated. thanks
