mhenley 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Hello, I am looking into getting a security dvr system and would like to know which models I should consider. I would like: atleast 4 camera channels h.263 PTZ capabilities can connect to a tv can see live streaming video on a pc AND MAC audio motion detecting recording I would like to be able to view live images from other computers while I am out of town. Is there a system with a built-in web server without having to connect cables to my router? live viewing over capable cell phones I can purchase cameras separately. I just need the DVR first to see if what I want is available in my price range. I'm wanting to spend no more than $650, including a decent size hard drive. Thanks for your advice.

scorpion 0 Posted May 30, 2009 AVTech is your answer! Use Quicktime to view your DVR with a Mac. All DVRs will have a built in webserver. The router is only needed to connect multiple devices to one Modem. If you do not have a computer where the DVR is located then just connect the DVR straight to the modem. I have not heard of them, but you will have to ask around to see if others are aware of them, but it sounds like you want a DVR with a built in wireless connection. There might be a DVR that takes an aircard to get it on the internet, but then why pay for the extra internet service when you can plug in to a router, and share the internet with the computer that you all ready have?

jonb300 0 Posted August 25, 2009 AV tech AVC 790 worked fine for me using the same requirements that you posted. the price is also affordable. for the vga, i bought a standard video to VGA and is working great. for network viewing over the internet, i use the WEB viewer included in the DVR kit or sometimes use the Internet explorer. snap shots and logging record is available with password protect. have used MAC to view it .... scorpion is right i use a router but AV tech has options such as web servers available. i have viewed on cellphone using the internet explorer(i phone) , Nokia MAnager (nokia N73) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marketzion 0 Posted August 31, 2009 when you are using the ptz to do the monitoring, if you find something is monving and very suspicious, so you need to control the ptz to follow the object (maybe a car or a dog )manually, i have the intelligent speed dome,when you see one object and want to track it, just double click on the object and the speed dome just tracks it down...i have demo videos for your reference.
