  1. Ill try to keep this short and to the point. Ive been using avermedia DVR cards for years mostly on larger restaurants/bars mostly until this year just analog and adding a few ip. cams. I really like how user friendy the software is and would like to find something similar. ive got a couple customers that would like to upgrade to all ip cams 48 channel systems and have other locations they would like to integrate like its one system. ive been looking at software based system and would like a real world opinion. what I would like in order of importance is user friendly, cost, reliability, and not totally kill whatever computer im running it on SECOND what recommendations do you guys have for storage they will be a minimum of 1mp up to 3mp cams. I was thinking about some type of cloud storage after so many days but all of this is kinda new to me thanks for your help in advance im sure answers will lead to more questions so please be patient. as I try to bring my old ass up to speed thank you brian

    panasonic ptz help

    ok ive got 2 wv cs854a cameras hooked up to a avermedia 6480 express card everything works great except the cameras were bought used and i cant clear the previous camera set points out and of course none of the original positions are where i need them and are never in the right position. ive downloaded the original manaual that says reset using the dip switches and it doesnt change anything. also i cant access the camera menu to see the camera setting because i dont have a panasonic controller. im sure there is something simple i can do can someone please point me in the proper direction thanks Brian

  6. im getting my info from the printer feed off the pos. i was reading avermedias 5 diffrent ways to get the pos. info. ive tried almost everyone i think the main problem im having is because im running cat5 cables and doing rj-45 to serial adapters and i dont think im doing the right wiring configuration. this cant be that hard thanks brian

    aver.6480 and pos. help

    ok m norman ive got time to respond properly. i am planning to interface with the printer port. i do think im going to run into some issues with it later on with owner requests. the reason for the second round of questions after destro and tomcctv was i found out from talking to the employes. they dont print out 50% of thier transactions per day no one wants them. they are only printing with food and when closeing out a tab. so unless im mistaken if they arent printing reciepts im not recieving any info to the dvr. pos. input thats why i was wondering if i could intrecept the info at the server somehow without reinventing the wheel. thankyou brian

    aver.6480 and pos. help

    the more i look into this the more of a pain it is. The digitail dining system is microsoft based dont know if thats a problem. But what this is a sports bar and they dont print out reciepts except when closing out tabs and for food purchaces. theirfore. i wouldent get that much pos input going to the dvr and it that makes it almost point less. however the 4 registers they have all go back to one server and are saved their. there has got to be a way to interface with thir digital dinning and lay the text over the camera register feeds. please someone smarter than me help everbody lol. thanks brian
