bongofury 0 Posted January 19, 2011 I don't know much about either of these cards. you must have narrowed down to those two for a reason. Maybe because they are the least expensive that run HiKvision software? I hope you don't require high frame rates, because both of those cards max out at 30fps at CIF, less at 4CIF. you'll be lucky to get 2 to 4 fps per channel.

shiloo 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks bongofury for reply, I certainly require more than 2 - 4 frames ps per channel these are not cheap cards I know they are chinese but I have seen very positive posts on this form about Netvision & Hikvision cards. bongofury would you or some other forum member please explain how you arrive at figure of 2- 4 fps per channel for cif or less for 4cif I assumed that these cards were capable of recording 200fps(P)/240fps(N) as they are 8 channel cards is this not 25fps(p) 30fps (n) I am confused? please advise.

rory 0 Posted January 19, 2011 This is from netvision's: supports 4CIF recording with 12fps (PAL)/15fps (NTSC) for all channels. They should elaborate on that, whether that is for EACH channel, or ALL channels would mean total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted January 19, 2011 The second one is a DS-4008HCI, and it does 200fps at 2CIF (that is 8 channels at 2CIF 25fps each channel). It can also do 4CIF at 10-12fps per channel. http://www.hikvision.com/En/Products_show.asp?id=17 I don't know the other one, but it seems to do about the same, 2CIF realtime or 4CIF 12-15fps each channel.
