Cant get any images with DVR Card

[alunevansodp 0]

Hi i am totally new to the cctv world and am trying to set up a PC system with 2 cameras.

PC Specs are AMD Athlon 64 3200+

1GB RAM

160 GB SATA Drive dedicated to CCTV

ATI Saphire Radeon X1300 512mb hypermemory PCI/E Graphics Card

 

I have 2 30fps outdoor cameras that work when i connect them to a TV

A 4ch 60f digital video record DVR Card IE View

and H.264 Digital video recorder software.

When i installed the DVR card windows XP home edition recognised the card and installed the drivers from the disc. The card is recognised as Wave-p video capture device in sound, video and game controllers of device manager.

And the software seems to have installed without any problems.

However i cant get it to display any images whatsoever when i conect my cameras to it.

Can anyone please give me some guidance or help.

Thanks in advance

For one MOST ALL DVR cards do not like AMD and non-intel based mothers boards. You will have to goto where you got the DVR card from and look at the specs for that card.

Your problem's solution is so simple. Don't worry about it . Just enter to the setup menu of DVR program and change Show Mode to Direct 3D.
