Geovision 800 compared to my SwannDvr4NrtPlus

[Arockerdude 0]

Was thinking about upgrading to a Geovision 800 card. I am now using the Swann Dvr 4 Net Plus DVR. Question is . Is it worth it? Some of the specs look better on the Swann. Like the display frame rate 480 frames per second on the Swan. The Geovision card only 120. The Swann I can record and view at the same time. Is it possible to view a recording and record at the same time with the Geovision 800? All input would be appreciated. Thanks Dave

Ps I left the links to the two that I am talking about.

Are you a DIYer?

Yes, you can record and view at the same time with Geo cards and with most DVRs as long as you have good amount of memory with 4 port at lease 512MB.

I'm pretty sure DIY means, "Do It Yourself"

If that's what it means. The answer is no. I have all you professionals from out here helping me. You would be surprised what you can learn from people on a forum. For instance. Four years ago I new nothing about growing roses and trees. But now thanks to GardenWeb Forum I have 80 + roses Seventeen fruit trees and I'm getting pretty good at taking digital pictures. Just check out this link to my photos and see how helpful these forums are. Dave

You might need high speed Internet. There is over 2000 pics.

Oh yaa. And the purpose of this camera system is so I can identify the criminals who rip me off. Or throw eggs at my cars. So I know whos A _ _ to go kick! Iv'e got a couple of good cameras now. Just wondering if I can improve the playback. Should I switch over to the Geovision 800? If it will look much better or not. Dave

Bottom line is yes, the GV800 will be much much better for evidence sharing and features.

I did a bit of looking and the Swann Dvr 4 Net Plus only supports 4 cameras but on their specs on their site they claim 480 fps display which is IMPOSSIBLE with 4 cameras. The recording resolution is also quite low. Bottom line is Swann is very low end, and I'd avoid it at all costs.

 

If your good with computers, you will not be dissappointed with the 800. It is an excellent card and I have installed many of them. If your not good with computers look at other stand alones maybe but you will not get the quality out of the Swann your looking for.
