I'm new to this stuff as well and find myself in a very similar spot as Chamac. That is, I've decided on an Aver card but can't settle on which one.
I'm looking to do 4-8 cameras. I first thought the NV7000H was the choice then decided NV6240 would be the better option since it uses at least partial software compression. More flexibility for upgrade in the future as algorithms change.
Now in this thread the NV5000 seems to be the card of choice. I look at the card comparison pdf on the avermedia website and its really difficult to sort through which is best.
Can anyone explain the differences in a way like, "If you have x, y & z, then use NV5000 because... If you have a, b, c then use NV6240 because... If you have l, m, n then use NV7000H"?
