jaskarn 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Hi, I am building a new DVR using a Geovision 2008 card. Would you recommend any changes or does it seem fine, i am building this my self.

simo923 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Looks ok to me. Personally at the moment i am running a real low end PC for 2 x GV 2008 cards (will post the specs later). I was running a 1480 in it. The live viewing from the PC is no better (on board graphics) but the recording quality is a hell of a lot better, so this basic PC is running it fine and it is a lower spec than yours. How long do you intend to record for? I will go double check my recordings but realisically with the GV 2008 you are looking at 1GB per Camera per hour so that 1 TB won't last that long. Next week i will be installing 8 GV 2008 cards into my new 4 servers. The specs are Case 4 U 20 x SATA II Bays Pwr Single 950 Watt Motherboard Asus 1333 F.S.B Cpu INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q8200 1333 F.S.B Memory 8GB DDR II 800 (Corsair) Video Onboard Intel Video Raid Hardware Raid -3ware 9650 SE - 16 Port Lan Onboard Gigabit Lan 10/100/1000 Expansion Slots 3 x 32 Bit Pci + Pci-Express x 16/8/1 Sound Onboard Sound Hard Drives 16 x 1TB + 1 x 250GB O/S Drive Ports 4 x USB, Firewire, Audio, Vga DVD DVDRW I wont be live viewing from the servers so the on board GFX shouldnt be an issue, but i will post up my results from this spec in a couple of weeks.
