Geovision Card Question

[Arockerdude 0]

Geovision GV800-8 DVR Capture Card (120 FPS) / GV800CC-8 *NIB*

 

I'm thinking about buying this card. The price is $300 I think it's used.

Above is the headline for the card.

Questions -

How do I know it is authentic? Is there Some way to verify on Geovisions website?

Is that an older model card?

What does the NIB mean?

This is a PCI card right ? My computer is a Pentium 4 1.2 Ghz. NVIDEA Geforce 5200 250mb Ram

What else do I need to know?

Thanks Dave

NIB usually means New In Box.

 

Where is the card for sale?

 

If its a auction site, then its probably not legit, or if its legit, its probably a old card. Even if its the latest legit just made yesterday model, then if its from a auction site or unauthorised source then you will NOT get any warrenty from geovision. (Despite claims from some sellers that you do - you wont).

 

Are the sellers authorised geovision resellers? Ask them. If they claim to be, then go to

 

http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/7_0.asp

 

and see how to check direct with GEO to see if they are lying. If they are, do other buyers a favour and report them to geo.

 

If the seller states they are not authorised, then remember you will get no warranty/support from geo.

 

If its second hand, and the warranty is not a problem for you, then the question is, why is it still new in box, if its second hand?
