neptune769 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Hello Everyone, First let me say that for me surveillance cameras & equipment is just a hobby. I have a system that consists of 3 American Dynamics PTZ and a Pelco fixed dome. Anyway to get to the point When I first started this hobby I didn't know about counterfeit DVR cards & software. So I unknowingly bought a board with pirated software. I found out when I contacted the manufacturer with technical problems. I ended up purchasing a legal copy of the software. Now I am in the market to upgrade to an 8 port card with hardware compression. My question is Who makes a decent card that is not overly priced like Geovision? Is a hardware compression board better than software? How can you tell if someone is selling a counterfeit? I'm sure there are some legitimate cards on Ebay but how do you know? Regards, Dennis L.
