Figure I'd ask Mr. Bahama

Wow, 8dr, I can do that ...I did, he don't know.

Loss Prevention Corp

What he wants doesn't exist right now. I was offering a solution so that when he leaves rory's favorite dvr viewing software running, he can simply log into his computer, via the network/internet, that the DVR is also attached, to shut down the DVR viewing software (on his computer) so he can log in when he is away.

...or just ask rory

All the same out here. LPC has a lock in. Who ya know/pay?

He can drop the slave in the computer and control it from anywhere in the world...ie, shut down the software.

rory just posted a ton of these somewhere.

There was a big scandal over at Stern's web site a couple of months ago (long story). I just have been too lazy to change it.

Not to chase you away, but Linksys has an excellent tutorial on their website...even in the router itself (when you log in) will tell you how to do it.

A fellow technician, swears by the 10 dollar 4 channel cards. Minimalistic (?) is how I would describe him.

Best way around this for now, is TWD. Real small footprint and one of the best ones out there. http://www.twd-industries.com/

rory is searching high and low for this one? I have seen DVR's with DVDR's, but why? How much footage do you need?

I love good, honest, fair competition...it brings prices down for the little guy.

Nothing wrong with OEM, as long as you know who makes it. I like paying $102 bucks for OEM software. Who needs support from Micro$hit anyway. You might just as well talk to a door handle than talk to Micro$hit

Home Depot here on Long Island and NY are done by a company called LPC and I will get that info for you tomorrow. My bud is the Foreman on them. I will get the WAlmart info for ya too.

What network software does avtech use, rory?

Ever hear of these guys? http://www.ktlcctv.com/web/page.asp?p=49

I need 8 0r 9 channel. Then I say to myself, for 200 more and I can get 16-but, I will never use 16 cams at my house.

I have one of the other techs in the office who swears on the 10 dollar cards pico 2000. Gotta go with what you like. Personally, I like standalone DVR's with the software on chip (in DVR).

They seem to have rewritten the software. I just need the view feature, but I hate that software has to be installed. Sometimes (and I won't, if I can) I can't install on a client's workstaion but I can access IE.

Thanks bud. See if the Sampo software works on the same unit as the HiSharp. I found a version (Eclipse) that didn't lock up.
