fas 0 Posted January 17, 2009 I have an upcoming install that requires: - 32 cameras - up to 50 or more users possibly remotely viewing certain cameras I normally do not use pc based dvr's. However, due to the amount of users logging in I think in this situation I have to, as it is my only cost effective option. I haven't set one up in ages, and was wondering if the specs below will work with the new 8.3 software and 2 1480 pci cards installed on a single dedicated pc. I want to keep it simple and have one pc doing the job. Here are the specs, please let me know if they are overkill and I can get away with less, or not enough and I need more. XPS 420 Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Processor Q9450 (12MB Cache,2.66GHz,1333FSB) Operating System Genuine Windows XP PRO Memory 3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs Video Cards ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB supporting HDMI OS & Software Hard Drive 500GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache 2 Seagate SV Series 1 TB Hard Drives Optical Drive Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability Sound Cards Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

what2be 0 Posted January 27, 2009 few problems I see.. As far as I know, you can only put one geovision card per computer. I have 2 1480's and have them in 2 seperate computers. These are the pci cards. Maybe with the pci express cards you can put 2 in one computer? Upon further reading, i see you can put 2 2004 or 2008 cards (4 port and 8 port) into one pc. These cards actually have hardware encoding on them as well as d1 quality. Of course, if you want a 16 cam card, you can buy a single 1480 card if your willing to live with 16 cams at 480fps (30fps @ 320x240) second, geovision states in their product info that the cards will not work in ati or via chipset motherboards (not a big deal) , but they also state that windows 64 bit os support is NOT compatible. That is a problem and why im on this forum at the moment. I wanted to see if anyone was running vista or xp 64 bit. So, in your case, the 4 gigs ram is a waste since 32 bit os's can only support up to 3 gigs of ram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hardcore 0 Posted January 30, 2009 I runned 2 GV 800 PCI with V8.3 version. Works very well, but it has some bugs with remote access.. I think it will be fixed in the official version ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
