PMA 0 Posted February 24, 2008 OK, At my place, for test and fun I was using 2 machines. 1 computer for ip cameras and 1 with dvr card for analog cams. I would like to integrate them all in one machine plus add some webcams that I have laying around, for fun also. Total maybe 7 Ip/analog/webcams. I can run them perfectly with Milestone having the analog going thought a Ip matrix but, theres always a but, can't get the webcams there... Already tried a couple of software to test. 1. Active Webcam: - Huge cpu monger - Does not recognise the dvr bt878a card drivers, so have to use Ip matrix and get the analog cams into the soft thought an Ip adress - Not user friendly, crashes, many individual settings for each camera wich are not centralized and can not be applied to all. - Hard remote client setup - Bad support, or not exists 2. WebcamXp: . Better cpu usage - Does not accept analog cams, so have to use Ip matrix and convert them to Ip - Very few security options like motion pre trigger, delay, etc., archiving, changing paths for the cams and software - Crazy motion detection algorithm, some cams are always detecting motion some never..... crazy - Easy remote client setup thought H T T P, runs a local h t t p server (works fine) What else may I try that incorporates Ip, analog (throught dvr card and not Ip matrix), webcams with moderate Cpu usage and good security options?

rory 0 Posted February 29, 2008 LuxRiot is a good one for Generic cards (or brands with BT Drivers) and IP/webcams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted February 29, 2008 This is something I posted a long time ago geared towards DVR cards, perhaps I can add your review in there also, as times have changed since then and the software may have improved in the case of some that I linked to there, and ofcourse there are now other software available as mentioned http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=2021 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
