liveinxs 0 Posted July 28, 2011 just curious, how many fellow CCTV users , use the date and time stamp on their images that are viewed or recorded... on the DVR that i am presently using, it allows you to remove the date and time stamp, now on some of the cameras, the time stamp falls within a area that i wished it didn't , but unfortunately i can't change its position.. is the time stamp really needed for ID purposes, as my DVR saves files in 15 minute long files, so i am able to narrow down just when a incident took place...

Soundy 1 Posted July 29, 2011 Not all DVRs overlay the timestamp on the image. Vigil embeds the timestamp info in the file metadata, along with authentication info, so it displays in a the player app but not on top of the video itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomcctv 187 Posted July 30, 2011 i was looking at the Qvis Apollo HD 16 Channel, the price is just right the apollo is a dahua. under the qvis name it is the first to have the new hardware. CNB also sell the same dvr its a little more in cost only because it has a CNB badge on it. also with the new apollo plug and play storage (upto 12tb) extra. you can record for months.
