Looking for DVR recommendations

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've been in IT for 15 years now and have always been comfortable with PC based systems. I'm now looking to switch to Stand Alone. Can anyone help me pick a few systems for my customers? Most installs will be in small retail shops. So price for them will be a concern. They will not be looking for ultra high end equipment. Also, can you point me to the dealers of these products.

 

Thanks,

Minh

 

Requirements:

 

System 1:

Real Time View and Record at CIF Resolution

Dynamic DNS support

Mouse Control (would like but not a must)

Remote via Internet Explorer or downloadable client from DVR (would like but not a must)

 

System 2:

Real Time View and Record at Full D1 Resolution

Dynamic DNS support

Mouse Control (would like but not a must)

Remote via Internet Explorer or downloadable client from DVR (would like but not a must)

Wow, no replies.

 

Anyway, I have found my D1 Realtime solution. I still need recommendations for the CIF Realtime System. These will be budget systems. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck.

Thanks in advance,

I'm curious what you picked for your D1 Realtime. (I didn't reply because I didn't have any idea what to suggest! )

ICRealtime Pro Series

 

Not because it is superior to everything else, but it is the only one I could find so far that does 16 channel D1 Real Time.

 

If anyone else has a better suggestion, I'm open ears.

 

Thanks,

Minh

Just curious. Apart from casino, etc. Does anyone really do 16 chs real time in D1 considering the storage needed ?

 

How much storage will it goes through per day for all 16 chs ? and how much storage does it support, and how much storage are you willing to spend ?

According to ICR's website, 16 cameras on the pro system recording continuous will give you 7 days with around 1 terabyte of hard drive space.

 

I would setup the systems on motion only giving possibly 2 or 3 weeks. Hard drive space is cheap. 1 terabyte will cost me less than $200 retail.

At least u do your maths and is practical.

I have customers insisting on 6 months recording.

 

So 1 terabyte x 4 x 6 = 24 Tera. And Yet they insist that 500GB is enough.

And not all system support 24 Tera, Most only up to 4 HDD, or 8 HDD at most without additional hardware equipments.

Does Nuvico have a model that will do 16 channel D1 Realtime?

 

On a side note, Am I better off just sticking with PC Based? I can make the OS rock solid, PC parts are cheap now a days and I can put tons of hard drives in them.

 

What do you guys think. Remember, I've been building computers for 15 years.

 

Thanks again
