vincenttor 0 Posted September 11, 2011 I have a few questions about the DVR cards from dahua. the card i have now uses idvr but with viewing 3 camera's the cpu load is to high. not even talking about recording. so i have read topics here and noticed that dahua has hardware compression. This sounds all really nice but i have a few questions. i see things about the PSS and DSS software , downloaded a copy of pss and i see that it is to make connection with a external dvr if i am correct. i supose this is not to connect to a DVR card then right ? if so what software works with dahua cards and is it any good ? What i am looking for is a 16 channel card and a distributer that i have found by google advises me to use the VEC8008HB card for 8 channel or the VEC8016HB for 16 channels. I also read something about clones, i rather have a good working version then a clone with cracked software and chips on the card that work half power or not. are there many dahua clones ? the price for the card is 110 dollar for the 8 channel and 190 dollar for the 16 channel card i have a Xls file here from the distributor but i do not know if i can postit here because of making advertisement for this store then. i can upload / share it if someone wants to see it. This is a bit of a hobby so i do not want it to cost 3000 dollar, it should stay fun. anyone that can give some opinions or information/experiences with it.

Guest Posted September 17, 2011 Hi! Dahua have both software and hardware compression cards, software based will have a higher CPU load. Also please avoid Celeron CPU and similar, Celeron is a CPU without math processor. Clone's: There are very few copies of mainland china products because most copies are made in china and it is not legal to make copies, if copy of a western product the chinese look the other way, if chinese products I would say max 3 days from public to it is closed down. Dahua is based mainland china in other words not so many clones, but there are a few companies that are bundling software with orginal cards that are not their software but "borrowed" from another company. This could give you a problem in the future. JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
