Hi guys,

 

With your help I recently upgraded to a PC based DVR system for my storage facility. I bought the 1480A Geovision card and everything is going well. I saved over $3000. Thank you guys!

 

My concern though is lightning. Is it possible for lightning to fry my card or damage my brand new Dell PC? Should I be installing lightning protection (ie. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34387)

If you protect your PC and Camera powersupply with a lightning protected powersocket, and your network you should be safe.

 

We just lost a Geovision GV800 due lightning, but have now protected with a special powersocket.

I can give you a name on the device, it also have a network in/out and with a protection up to $40.000

While the up front investment is expensive, it's worth it to have BNC lightning resisters on each port, along with having a surge strip on the computer itself. Lightning could technically hit a camera and travel back to the system. We've had several customers whose capture card was fried (just the card, not the computer) because of lightning -> camera strikes.
