ComputerX 0 Posted December 5, 2007 Hi all, I'm a computer guy. I know nothing about CCTV and am trying to make intelligent decisions in ordering a system. What are the differences between a Nuvico DV3 and a DV4? From reading the DV3 and DV4 specs it looks like the differences are "Real-time Live Display & Recording per Channel" and 4 vs. 16 channel audio. Don't all DVRs do "Real-time Live Display & Recording per Channel"? Does that mean that the only differences are that you can have audio monitoring on 16 channels with the DV4 and the DV4 has a jog shuttle? The DV4 also has "480 pps" for the 16 channel model. What is "PPS" in the CCTV world? Acronym finder lists 108 potential meanings TIA, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
