nester 0 Posted April 14, 2011 I have one of these cards.. I'm running 16 Analog cameras, we either want to upgrade the existing cams from analog to HD IP cameras, or add additional IP cameras. That said, do I need a second card to add IP cameras? Seems a little silly to have an interface card with nothing plugged into it. Also, what are people recommending for outdoor HD IP cameras? Edit: I realize i just posted this in the wrong forum, please move if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler_dsi 0 Posted April 14, 2011 If you want to add IP cameras you will ether need to add a 16Ch card to make that hybrid DVR a 32Channel or you will need to subtract analog cameras, and add the IP cameras. Avermedia tried bringing in just licenses instead of the cards for the IP cameras which were essentially USB flash drives with the license on it but the cost was about the same as the cards without the option of analog so they decided to discontinue/ pause that idea till it can be more of an option that would be worth buying. If there is any other questions you have PM me. Avermedia is all my company uses and we love Avermedia. Also I could recommend some IP cameras but lets be honest price is everything pm me what your planning on spending on each camera and will suggest one to you.

tomcctv 190 Posted July 1, 2011 your av8180 will only give you better FPS if you set it at 1600x1200 Mjpeg for the NV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
