[drapme 0]

I am looking for the best DVR Card. Casino quality.

It doesn't matter the price.

Needed 16 channels video and audio.

Any suggestions?

best card 16 channels is probably a geovision, they're great. Can sell ya one, they are reasonably inexpensive compared to high-end stand alone dvr's. our price on the 16 cam full rate is $1645.00. Let me know what you need

How about professional cards?

Does anyone know any?

[Jasper 0]

That is a professional card?

We sell a card that is powered by rainbows and love...

 

Actually the company I work for sells nothing but Geovision. They seem to be pro, we sell them to government branches all the time and they have never complained.

 

If you are just wanting high class then I know that GV has a stand alone that looks like it is dressed to the nines.

Or you should at least look at GV's website. It is very comprehensive.

Hey man, make your fonts normal like everyone else.

I think the "best" are hardware compression cards.....which are starting to become better supported and will one day pass the software compression cards. The "best"? I am slightly biased so I won't go there but the "best" is usually the one that is well supported.

 

By the way, why not goto Vegas and look? Ask?

 

And, a Vegas quality DVR, PC Based or otherwise, will require a monster server/CPU. Were talking 30fps per camera, highest bytes per frame, and "record always".........large storage space required. I also belive that "Vegas" is using video enhancing software (pricy) for use on the recorded video AFTER it is recorded/stored. And then a full time "staff" to keep the system running perfectly.....................all the time.

 

If money is no object, I'd recommend that you hire a full time IP smart, video smart, security smart, TRUSTworthy guy like me. I'm available for 1million a year...........interested?

Hello

 

I am Hamza from Pakistan. I am running a private company. We deal in CCTV systems. One of our customer's requirement is Pelco Dx8000 DVR. As we know that Pelco is an American company and they are basically stockist they are not manufacturer. We want to buy that DVR of DVR board from original manufacturer. Do anyone know which DVR card is inserted in Pelco DX8000 DVR.

cant say for sure but ive read others say they believed some of the Pelco PC DVRs to be Pico2000 cards.

Na rory, they are not pico boards. From what I saw one time is that they actually look like commart cards, but with their own in-house software.

 

Going to look at one later in the week, will see what I can find out.

using HW has becoming a trend,it takes up less CPU resource.the H.264 card can reach D1 resolution,and there are almost not copy products in the market.so I recommend you choose HW.

But hardware locks you into one codec. When something better comes along you won't be able to move toward it.

Very true thomas, but even a software based dvr card can have the same problem is the manufacturer fails to release a software update that would make the card work with different codecs.

[Thomas 0]

That's a straw man. You're in the same boat if the software developers do the same with the hardware card.

And that's why we buy Video Insight boards, made in TX, and sold by a guy from the "Northeast"

I didn't realize I had more then one reseller here. Eh, it's tough being a Yankee in an office full of southerners but someone needs to remind them of thier place.

H.264 provides the best performance I've seen... I sell the HIKVISION H.264 boards and software developed here in the US.

Very good point!

 

Hardware compression is usually better, but like you say, no upgrade path, unless the card has some kind of flash memory?

[Verite 0]

Well, all my customers that do installations in Casinos, Prisons, Military Bases, Etc, prefer hardware compression.

[Jasper 0]

I pefer it myself also. It takes the load off the CPU and provides better picture quality.

 

I have a computer dedicated to behave like a TIVO unit.

 

It uses hardware compression and provides much better quality video then using a software based ATI capture card.

Not sure what "casino quality" really means, but if you're using analog video to a capture card, you're always gonna be limited since NTSC video vertical resolution is limited. If you really want ulta-high res, look at the hi-def IP cameras. VigilHD from www.camacc.com does up to 3.2MP (approx 2000x1500) at 20fps with supported cameras.
