HDmstng 0 Posted March 25, 2009 I'm interested in getting some opinions on the GV-Mini DVR system (M series), in particular the GV-1480M. I'm looking for a system to record up to 16 cameras at 30 fps (each camera) and to record the data. Q1 The above system from Geovision is basically a PC with their 16 (1480 card) channel card installed? Q2 How user friendly is the geovision software to use? I've been using a Clover DVR and their software is quite clunky. In particular I'd like to be able to select a few cameras, and be able to transfer say a 1 minute recording from each of those cameras and convert it to an avi file to play in windows media player. With the clover software, I can only pick 1 camera to convert at a time. Q3 Does the GV software allow for screen shots, like the above question, can I pause the playback and capture a shot of what's shown? Q4 Will a special codec be required for playback? Basically we are trying to monitor a process (not surveillance work) and would like to be able to playback some of the records to a broader audience imbedded in a power point presentation, etc... If there are other systems out there that may work besides the Geovision, I'd be happy to hear about them as well. Thanks in advance, HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HDmstng 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Instead of the DVR system posted originally, how about using just a GV-1480 Combo Card? If I purchased a PC from say Dell or HP, would all I need is to install the card and software? Is any other hardware required? Are there any watchouts I should take into consideration if I purchase a prebuilt PC to install the card into? Also, besides Geovision, who are some other manufacturers I should look into? Thanks again, HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
