What do you guys recommend for a good 4 ch standalone with remote viewing. Hes planning on useing an aircard to watch his restaurants.
Id like it to have a cd or dvd writer, in case he needs to make a report.
thanks

im looking at the Avermedia AVerDiGi EB1304 . My concern is that i cannot mask off certain areas of view that would trigger motion detection. I.e. decorations hanging from ceiling moving

Good choice !!

It all depends on what budget you are in, I have used many different units at different price levels and it all comes down to cost.

AVTECH (or CpCam) would be the most cost economic option, but I don't remember if is has the masking features that you are asking about.

Last year, I was beta testing a unit from GE security, the new Digia 2 series, and it has functions such as masking and something called network bandwith saving mode, which I believe is plays with the quality settings throught the video transmision over the network so that it achieves the best posible frame rate. This is a little on the high side, compared to AVTECH, but is something to keep in mind if the user is going to be using a AIRCARD to view the video. NO CDRW option on this one, but it does have a USB connection where you can backup the data and then use a PC to transfer the images to a CD.

Another option, although I personally have not used them would be ICrealtime. Another member here can probably explain their features better than me. :wink:

Hermin, as you still in this forum? Wow, man you have no pride at all do you?

Embedded system with CD burners are avail... Any particular configuration do you need it with hard drive, etc.?

Feel free to down load manuals from my site to see if any of those match your specs.
