Nuvico NVJV-8000 or EverFocus EDSR900

[jascott129 0]

I am looking for a stand-alone unit for home use. I am currently using a PC based system, but it is overkill, produces allot of heat and I am sure uses more electricity.

 

I have found the Nuvico NVJV-8000 and the EverFocus EDSR900 models. They seem to be pretty comparable, and I am asking for opinions between the two.

 

I am concerned about the following:

-network connectivity - I would like to be able to access the unit via the Internet and view live and recorded video. I know the performance would not be great, but I would expect it to be comparable to the PC based Video Insight system I am using.

-I want the Internet interface to run through Internet Explorer. I don't mind it launching and running JAVA or ActiveX, but I want it to run inside the IE window - so I can run it in a tab or switch between application on the PC.

-Decent quality video - 640x480 or better at 15fps per camera x 8 cameras.

-I would prefer the ability to archive a video clip over the network, but I am not concerned with keeping backups of files remotely.

-Qualtiy of motion setup software - For example, I need to be able to define an area (pool) and set it to be less sensitive, define an area (patio ceiling fan) and set it to not record, and define other areas to be more sensitive in the same camera.

 

Thanks for the help.

Hands Down, Nuvico.

 

Better over the internet. Can be used with a Dynamic IP address. The 15fps is over kill for what you are doing. The Nuvico will give you 7.5fps which is more than enough and because it records in MJPEG you get a superior image on recording.

 

I like the everfocus as well, but if you are giving me a choice I would chose the Nuvico.

How do you get that high a frame rate with a NUVICO DVR and get a good image?

 

I just got a NUVICO NVDV3-8000 DVR with 5 NUVICO cameras. I like the system, lots of options and I want to record the best image possible to catch the bad guys. With the global resolution under RECORD SIZE in the SYSTEM Menu set to CIF 320x240 (factory setting), the max frame rate selectable in the RECORD menu is 15 F/S. The images were terrible, very blocky. I changed the global RECORD SIZE to max of CIF 720x480 (cameras capable of 480 TVL), images much better, but the max frame rate selectable dropped to 4 F/S. Worse still, when I backedup some files and viewed it on my computer, frame rate displayed was 3 F/S.
