I didnt realize the back piece wasnt needed. I will have to take a closer look tomorrow and see if I can remove it. Thanks

The kt&c looks just like that. Any suggestions on how to install it in the wall? I am trying to avoid cutting the wall up. The back end of the camera is larger then the front. I found a metal circle piece that I can place over the lens to cover the additional room from the hole. I was thinking about drilling a hole the size of the wider back portion of the camera. I am not sure how to mount it in the wall. I haven't done this yet so any suggestions would be great. I would prefer to have this installed in the wall so the lens is flush.

The viking boxes look nice. They are a bit pricey so I decided to go with the KT&C camera. I will do the install in the next few days. Thanks

JC322 is right its not hard to get the manual. here it is in pdf http://www.cctvengineer.com/NV_series_Manual_EN_v7.7.pdf A very helpful manual indeed: "Press the NV8416E4 cards into the PCI-Ex1 slot firmly." lol I am not sure what you are looking for that manual is 254 pages. If you cant find what you need contact Aver support, they are very helpful. Goodluck

My card only came with a quick user manual. You can d/l the manual online when you get the software. The manual is over 100 pages so they want you to grab the .pdf

thanks everyone for the reply. I am referring to recording to 2 places at the same time. I would like to have a second place if someone was able to gain access and steal the computer. is it possible to record to one place and have a real time back up being made to a second place? how can i go about partitioning my c drive now without messing with my setup? i was under the impression that would have to be done during the original install.

I am running 7 32 bit. What is the best way for me to setup a backup? I wouldn't mind keeping it onsite it doesn't have to be offsite. Any ideas? Would I be able to have real time back-up? I will look into partioning my C drive. How much room would 7 32bit need?

I like the idea of partitioning the OS drive for exporting saved video. You said it was easy to do in windows 7. How can I go about it without messing up the OS? I have my additional two 1TB drives installed.

we will be viewing this over our network on various computers. we will have a Aver dvr card setup.

I have a intercom door system tied into our phone system. I would like to add some sort of fisheye camera next to the bell to see who is at the door. I realize I might have to create a mount or something for a board camera. do you have any camera suggestions? or general suggestions? The person will be a few feet away from the camera and I would like to set it up around eye level. (avg height) A typical over the door set up will not work, since I need to see the face. Thanks in advance to all the great people that have answered any of my questions.

Thanks, I went with some 1TB caviar blacks

Hello, I am looking for some recommendations with respect to 3.5 sata drives. I need to get two 1TB or 1.5 TB drives for a Pc that I am going to install a avermedia 6480. I am assuming that some drives are better for writing and storage of video from the cameras. Thanks

thanks for the reply... What kind of hardrives of your using in there? I know they have to be 3.5 Sata but I was curious if you prefer any one 7200 over another? I believe I can fit an additional two in there correct?

is that a mini tower?

Is anyone using a dell vostro 430 with 6480? can you explain your experience? Thanks
