What are your CPU specs?

 

Digital Sentry is the Pelco brand NVR software, its reliable and should fit your situation - I use it with 8 Spectra III's and am quiet content.

 

I believe you can download it for free "And best of all, DS NVs can be downloaded from our web site free of charge and comes with four free licenses for Pelco IP cameras or encoders." -Pelco site

 

Digital Sentry Page: http://www.pelco.com/sites/global/en/products/video-management-solutions/digital-sentry.page

 

I can't find the download URL, I usually go to their online community instead of bouncing around their site which is www.pelco.com/community - if DS isn't for you they will recommend a different one for you. Hope this helps, cheers.

Heres some software i have tryed out that might help you (the past few years)

 

1) iCatcher Console been using this for about a year now with 2 monitors pci capture card, Features i like is it has good motion detection with a + when the motion is set off and also shows you how many FPS with the time and date stamped. HOWEVER the software is pricey as you talking about: but if your wiling to spend 2 Cameras £139.95 and the max they do is 32 Cameras £799 I would recommend it but before you decided anything give the 21 trial ago as some people have reported that they get slow fps from it but the way to get around that is: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=32497

 

Website: http://www.icode.co.uk/icatcher/products/console.html - Also before i decided to buy iCatcher, I was using WebcamXP is a good DVR but sadly it dont support RS-485/PTZ serial port feature. but cost £82 for a pro license.

 

2) H264 WebCam http://www.h264soft.com I had a test at this but unforchantly the alerts to my email address wasn't going thought and i ditched this but nice software! Also no RS-485/PTZ serial port feature another reason why i didnt buy it

 

3) Same with http://www.abelcam.com but this is for more like IP Cams again no RS-485/PTZ serial port suppot.

 

However you can get a software called PTZ controller from http://www.serialporttool.com/PTZ.htm thats dos the job but not remotely PTZ.

 

I am also willing to try out more software if anyone has any however it has to be remotely RS-485/PTZ serial port.

You won't be disappointing with Avigilon. What you need for your cameras is an Avigilon 4 port encoder. They are not very expensive, and only use one license. You could have 4 ptz's on one encoder and control them all with ACC and with the gateway, from your iPhone.

 

I have all of the above (and more) and wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks for that recommended website. Just giving it a try now.

Theres LOADS of software out there that are good, However they dont support the pelco cameras with RS-485/PTZ support but saying that, ZoneMinder http://www.zoneminder.com is free and configged via a web browser but with Linux is a touch and go with DVR Cards!
