MGSteve 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Hi, I've currently got a RapidOS 1120 card, which up to now appeared to work fine and to a degree it does. However, when its called into its first serious use following a burglary next door, its resulted in a number of failures. 1) The media player fails to convert the PMF files into AVIs, it simply crashes or doesn't encode the AVI correctly. 2) It doesn't capture at 25fps over both cameras, although it claims to be a 100fps capture card, over its 4 connections. The files are recorded at 12.5fps. And yes, the settings are set to record at 25fps! 3) The software is rather poor and the support is non-existent. They've told me its because they don't have the resources to update the program, they're only a small company. Thus it doesn't work on Vista. So, what do I need. Well, these are the priority. 1) Capturing all channels at 25fps. 2) Ability to capture at full PAL resolution (I have 600TVL capable cameras) 3) Ability to setup motion detection for each camera 4) Ability to browse recorded events etc.. 5) Must be reasonably priced! 6) Automatic recording deletion after x days would be useful! Network access via web or whatever isn't important as I log onto the computer via Remote Desktop anyway. Image Quality though is important, RapidOS isn't bad in this regard, but how much of it is down to the card and how much is the camera I simply can't tell. Any help / advice would be appreciated. Cards like this would be fine, just let down by the 640x480 record resolution Ah, can't post URLs - search ebay for item ref 120375901992 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
