SpyGuy10 0 Posted March 21, 2012 So far, my only experience with software DVR is from NUUO. I'm curious if anyone has used CNB's software for use with their IP cameras. If so, how well does it work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpyGuy10 0 Posted April 4, 2012 I'm rather surprised that no one here has even tried CNB's NVR software. Am I to assume that it's too low-end? Or that it's simply "junk"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camera-newbie 0 Posted April 4, 2012 I've got no experience with their software -- I opted to use an Avigilon 4 camera encoder and go that route and am very pleased for the cost and high quality I've seen so far,etc.. I suspect that most people may be using these cameras differently or perhaps integrating them into an existing camera infrastructure so they have no need/interest in switching that part of the equation out if it still works OK.

SpyGuy10 0 Posted April 5, 2012 I've been hearing a lot of good things about Avigilon, although all in the high-end market. Do they have any cameras that are competitve with CNB's cameras? Also, does Avigilon offer a hybrid IP cam (analog and IP outputs)? That's a requirement for my client. How does Avigilon handle NVR software licensing?

SpyGuy10 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Do you have a link to CNBs VMS? Below is a summary of features for CNBs CMS software: The NVR and CMS software (and related manuals) for CNB's XNET IP cameras and encoders are available as a free download from their website: http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html/down/sw_down.php?seqx_prod=1278 You can read about their IGC2050F megapixel IP box camera here: http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1278 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, does Avigilon offer a hybrid IP cam (analog and IP outputs)? That's a requirement for my client. How does Avigilon handle NVR software licensing? I'm using analog CNB cameras with an Avigilon encoder that can handle 4 cameras.. The encoder takes PoE and is considered a single channel when used with the Avigilon s/w (ACC) so it's fairly easy (IMHO) on the pocketbook.. I'm not sure how many cameras you're talking about but if you can divide that by 4 and get that many encoders it may not be so bad..? I'm very pleased with this setup but didn't know they (CNB) made any NVR.. By the way.. The specs for the CNB NVR seem to imply that you need a fairly beefy server to run their s/w (client/server) -- server requires Quad Core 2 Duo or better, the client requires a Intel I5-760 or better and both require Windows 7.. Avigilon claims it needs a quad-core Xeon 2Ghz but can be used with a variety of Windows versions -- someone here on the forums is running the Avigilon server, client & remote gateway on a Atom based system which is not exactly a horse-power wielding machine and said it ran great -- you can read about it here. I doubt that would be the case for the CNB but I might be wrong.. Make sure you download the CNB manual for their NVR -- it's a bit terse at something like 15 pages long and barely goes into the setup before it's over.. YMMV..

SpyGuy10 0 Posted April 6, 2012 CNB use DigiFort.com software for their cameras. Is this something you know for a fact? I'm only asking because the user interface for CNB's software does not look like the user interface for Digifort's software (based on screen shots posted on their respective websites). In any case, is CNBs CMS/NVR software any good? How does it compare against other software such as that sold by Avigilon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
