This is what I dispise about pc based dvr's, people under spec them Sad
Sorry but I woulndt use that cpu with anything. Specially not 16 cameras, why dont you look at the C2duo man ? 3FPS, waste of time omho- unless you use SMART function, do you know how that works csantos???? Sorry to pick on you...

It could be before the C2Ds came down in price, and also, it along with a P4 would still work for a budget DVR. Wink Now, this thread is really not supposed to have any comments in it though, see the OP. Very Happy

Hi guys,

Yes, I know how smart function works. But I don't think it's necessary to be recording more than 3 fps, so I can get a bigger history of days recorded. It's hard to make the consumer spend more money with the PC spec, so sometimes we need to give them a second option. Just for you to know, this client bought a PC using a VIA chipset MB, the system never worked!! So I had to make something quickly.

Thank you for you suggest!

P.S.: I have had too much problems with gv's pc spec, this forum is a reallly good idea. We need to convence other people to write their experience here!

Regards,

Eduardo Gonçalves - Brazil
