Avermedia EB3004NET

[caracortada_uk 0]

I am planing on getting a Avermedia EB3004NET. It is to monitor 2 cameras at present, one of the cameras being 700TVL and recording from a distance in a low light area, and another 2 being added in the future. I was getting worried about FPS but seeing a movie another used posted on here im pretty sure 7fps at D1 will do me fine

 

-I also need it to be triggered by motion in preset area. With adjustable sensitivity due to a number of birds who fly through the area to prevent false recordings.

-A pre-alarm option so that when motion does trigger it it also captures the 5seconds before the trigger.

-Remote view - preferably web based

 

 

Im sure this model will do all of the above, but am i missing anything?

 

 

Also i have found the FPS comparison videos on here, but does anybody have any comparison videos/pictures of different DVRs quality? At present im using a cheap Pico2000 card from ebay, im pretty sure i will see a quality boost with a proper DVR but i was hoping somebody could show me how good an increase before i buy?

Avermedia EB3004NET.

 

is a good little dvr. but it has a basic display. it is the cheapest of the avers.

 

the seb is a better dvr 25fps @D1 and full on screen gui. which the eb3004 does not have.

So perhaps a SEB3104H?

Im not fussed about all channels being 25fps, i thought 6fps would be very poor but its not bad for what i need. Its more the recording quality i need along with the other options mentioned. When you say the display is basic do you mean the GUI and the actual operation of it? At the moment im using pico 2000, i dont know how the 3004 would compare to it and also the 3104.

 

 

 

Sorry for so many questions tomcctv, im an amateur who isnt scared of challenges much to others annoyance hehehe

on the eb. you have no comtrols on screen.... you have to use a basic menu (after the event) on the nano and the seb it is on screen.

 

can i as what you will be using the dvr for ?

The majority of the cameras will be for indoor recording of a shop, open plan with a max of 10m sight needed in low lit areas at night and full light during the day. The main need and issue is the primary camera, a 700TVL IR camera with a 12mm lens, it is looking out to the main gate and a store room at 10-15m in very low light but with security lighting present. We have had some break ins and shop lifting in the past so want to put try and catch them on tape next time. Due to the distances the recording quality is paramount, but FPS not so i feel 25fps may be over kill for this application.

 

At the moment the pico software is working well, but the recording quality is poor on the card and i believe CIF. I can set areas on the screen to trigger the motion detection and start recording, and can also adjust the sensitivity so birds flying through the area do not trigger it. Also when the motion detection is triggered it can save the previous 5sec of footage leading up to the triggering, however this causes intense CPU usage which is not desired on the PC. The ease of access to configure it and viewing of the data is why i like PCI cards compared to a DVR box. But im waiting to hear back from Avermedia on how much CPU power their cards use and how much of the work they do themselves. I dont like the idea of an office PC running at 50% 24/7 when i could get a dedicated (if more expensive) dedicated DVR box.

hi. then the ave Nano is the best for you. 12fps D1 on standard cameras and also takes IP good for shops as it also has POS. (logs cash in till)

I know to get the best quality i need to invest in it, but i also need to find a nice medium of cost Vs quality. The nano is £300 Vs £215 of the SEB3104H. IP cameras and cash logging are not required options.

 

 

So would the 3104 fit the role for a DVR box here?

yes it will do the job. but 3104 and the 3004 are no longer made you will find stock in distributors. but no more updates or firmware. and for £40 more you get the new model.
