Check with your local and state police department or Texas Attorney Generals office. The requirements are a part of the public record, you just havge to find it. In some cases the "video" and "audio" rules are different.

I had the same situation and opted for the analogue version. We had so many cameras already and I did not have the budget to buy them all over again so stayed with the analogue. You bring up a point, I may reconsider buying IP cameras in the future and use the analogue output until we have the budget to change to a network. As far as your choppy problem I am not an expert on networking but know bandwith is an issue. The fact that the analogue works better on your camera leads me think its not the camera. I know the frame rate (PPS) and other settings in the DVR can affect this. Did you use the same settings each time ? On our DVR the set up for each camera is in a different menu for IP vs Analogue. Just some ideas - good luck.

I have a Speco DVR16TN/1.5TB with one channel set up for audio monitoring. When using their software , live works great but the recorded audio is choppy, in a rhythmic manner. I am accessing the dvr over our network and since the video and audio are fine over the network when live I am assuming I have the proper bandwith. I have the record set up at 720x240 60 PPS mpeg. I am thinking the frame rate is my problem and can go to 352x240 120 PPS mpeg but doing so reformats my hard drives and I loose all the old data. I know also the maximum amount of data I can save will be affected with the change. Right now I get about 15 days. My other options are 740x 480 30 PPS jpeg and 720x240 60PPS jpg. Are there any other settings I should look at ? Thanks.
