mr.verbal 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Hi I'm installing a Nuvico system for my store and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my setup. I'm planning on installing 2 NVJV-4080 4 CHANNEL DVR w/NETWORKING from 123securityproducts and for the cameras 8 NUVICO CD-D4N COMPACT DAY/NIGHT COLOR DOME CAMERA W/ 3-AXIS GIMBEL from 123securityproducts The DVR uses MJPEG Compression, was wondering if I'll encounter problems with viewing the videos from a PC. Would I also be able to save the videos from the DVR to my PC? I'm having professionals install this for me since I have no experience in installing such a security system. Anything else I need to get? I'm getting 2 additional monitors but do i need things such as mounting brackets, wires, power supply, etc. Please leave feedback and any answers to my questions Thank you for your time and I hope this would work out.

jhonovich 0 Posted April 18, 2008 Why are you buying (2) 4 channel DVRs? Usually (1) 8 channel would be cheaper for the equipment and the install? Is this not the case for you? As for using MJPEG, you should have no problems using/viewing it on your PC. MJPEG is widely adopted standard (essentially a stream of JPEGs) and works basically anywhere. One other piece of feedback: take special care to the placement of the cameras. It is not always easy to get it right on the first try. Let the installer show you the views on their handheld monitors as they are doing the install. You may find you can make immediate adjustments that will make the system much more usable.
