[Antti 0]

Hello guys.

I have securitycompany in finland and i'm going to build my own dvr for customers. I think i'm going to use geovision series cards, or do you have any better suggestions. usually i need dvr for 16 cameras, what gv model is good?

 

But my main question is, how do i build good computer for dvr? What models are good (motherboard,memory,hdd,....)

 

Thanks.

Intel processors and motherboards, crucial operating memory, western digital harddrives and Antec cases have been a good combo for me for many uses.

 

Make sure you read the requirements from Geovision and follow them.

Each builder will have their own preferences, best to do a search on google and see what others are using.

 

AS for myself ..

 

GigaByte Motherboards with: (depending on the System/Card)

 

3.2Ghz Intel P4 (800 FSB, 1MB), 512MB DDR2 PC-4200 533Mhz Memory, 128MB DDR PCI EX Video, Sata-300 HDD, CD-RW

 

3.4Ghz Intel P4 (800 FSB, 4MB), 1GB DDR2 PC-4200 533Mhz Memory, 256MB GDDR2 PCI EX Video, Sata-300 HDD, DVD-RW

 

Using Centon memory myself ..

X300 128MB DDR Video card or the X1300 256MB GDDR2 Video Card.

I like the Western Digital HDDs also.
