si_kungs 0 Posted April 9, 2008 what are the advantages of hardware compression card over software compression card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted April 9, 2008 Little to no CPU use while recording, less burnden on the entire machine but specifically the PCI bus and CPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griffonsystems 0 Posted April 9, 2008 which equals a more stable and reliable dvr, usually hardware compression can generate better frame rate/camera as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

si_kungs 0 Posted April 10, 2008 i see. so the minimum requirement of pc for hardware compression will be lower than that of the software compression card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Yes! But you can also use same as on a software system and in teory it will work better/longer more stable and so on!

CollinR 0 Posted April 10, 2008 It may be a while before you see hardware support for IP technologies so the point is getting to be not as big a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Hi! HikVision cards (Hardware compression) and software application already have systems supporting IP cams as well as HikVision own H.264 IP Modules/IP Cams. I know at least 1 software using HikVision cards that supporting up too 3 825 IP cams on same NVR/DVR but offcourse due to limitiation on hardware/bandwith you can not see video from them all at one time, but they can be connected to the system. JD It may be a while before you see hardware support for IP technologies so the point is getting to be not as big a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted April 10, 2008 Those systems aren't compressing the video, it's coming in on their own h.264 format. Few do realtime transcoding, a bunch do no transcoding at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
si_kungs 0 Posted April 12, 2008 for remote site viewing, will there be a difference between the two cards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
