Media 0 Posted November 12, 2008 It's the same thing I like to refer it as DVR card when talking to the customer who doesn't know much about the technology. A capture card is a DVR card but can be miss understanding with the people who are not in the CCTV world. There are capture card that does capture tv show, movies, camcorder etc. When you are talking about capture card in CCTV it is the DVR card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted November 12, 2008 A "capture card" generically is any computer add-on that's used to "capture" video. This can include TV-tuner cards and USB modules, which will usually only have one or two video inputs, and multiple inputs are usually of different types (composite, S-video, component) and still only feed a single encoder - in other words, most consumer capture cards can only record a single video source. A "DVR card" is a specialized capture card that TYPICALLY (not always, but usually) has multiple encoders, multiple inputs, and only accepts composite video - in short, they're designed to simultaneously record multiple video sources.
