    Does this need to happen at a certain time, or just ten images over an x day period? Microsoft has a Power Toy called Timershot that takes a picture from an ordinary webcam every so many hours, minutes, seconds, or days from whatever webcam is plugged into that computer. There might be some solution on that regard that might suit your needs. Most of the DVR capture cards I know of require their software to be of any use. Just a thought

    Thanks for the quick reply. I am also having a hard time finding the equipment. Of all the makes I've seen (after a search on the internet of our normal vendors), I've only seen recorders that support 32 channels of anything, and those are only saying 4 IP cameras. Any recommendations?

    I'm wanting to pitch a system for a local company. They have a lot of small building spread out throughout the county, all network accessable. The might need one camera (MAYBE two) per location. I thought it would be lest costly overall to put IP cameras in each building, with a centralized recorder. I'm thinking of close to 100 remote sights at least. Is there any recommendations for a solution like that? I'd rather avoid a single DVR in each building (they are unmanned) just to avoid the extra cost (and potential service nightmare) or all those DVR's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    The thing which is most confusing is that when I connect remotely from my brothers home (who is on a different ISP) the connection works fine. When I try from my home on my ISP on which the DVR is on, the connection fails, unless I use the LAN ip.

     

    I had a similar problem recently. I couldn't browse to my external ip address from my ip address. Not sure if it's an ISP (that happened on DSL, I just did my web server on cable and it works fine) or a router issue (2wire router). But, if you can access it from a remote sight going through the ip, but not locally going through the outside ip...?

    I'm looking for one of those little devices that monitors the IP traffic (usually connected to an IP camera), and cycles power to whatever it's plugged into when the traffic stops (ie the devices locks up) I just can't seem to find any reference to it. I know they exist, I've seen them referenced before, but I am just not typing the exact combination of words into the search engines to spit out what I'm after. Please, help an old man out kiddies!

     

    PM me if you want the link to the pdf file or I can email it to you but I cannot direct link on these forums yet.

     

    That's one, but I apologize as I've never used one of these devices before so I cannot recommend any specific types or models. Tho this unit (after reading) will in fact restart ANY IP device connected to it if the device stops sending/receiving network packets to the installed device.

     

    Good luck tho,

    Thanks,

    That will work! I have had to reset a router twice a couple of times already. That would save a service call.

    I have a client who has a GV-650 system. The 4 portcard is in a dell computer, and I gather all is working well. He has 4 cameras already, and would like to add more. Will the software support another card as is, or would I need to upgrade the software? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
