so those sub ~200 video servers on Ebay are basically junk?

1ch video server

brand and non-brand.

check the network ports.

if your DVR is behind a router you need to open 3000~3007 from the router setting(port forwarding).

it could be watchdog kick-in.

something happened to the system(program freeze, Windows crash) and DVR watchdog forced system to restart.

what's price range for an video server?

from top model to low-end

Chance-i card will do with V11.06.5 software
