    that looks like a decent system to me. I'll only replace the RAM to crucial

    where you buy the PC from? Newegg?

     

    The Hybird only means youll be abl;e to connect IP cameras to the system and not only analog cameras.AFAIK no performance improvment, but people here knows better than me

     

    check this for H264 details.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264

     

    I usually still set GV systems on MPEG4 and not H264 unless I expect many remote connections to the system than H264 is lighter on the network. I assume in your application you should stay on MPEG4 too.

     

    but these all are matter of personal pref. IMHO,

    Wait till you'll get the system, then go to Video Attribute > Advanced and you can play with the options. you can see the FPS you should expect and hard drive usage.

     

    Hope you'll like it, you choose the best card out there!

    Hi all,

    I was wondering how exactly I can wire 2 POS Data capture boxes to the same box.

    The instructions are clear about it but it looks like its doable by daisy chaining the boxes.

    I have one serial port on the expected motherboard and would like to save on the additional com box if possible.

     

    can anyone share his experience?

    I'm a US installer, for support, GV disappoint me big time everytime I had any issues. their support simply suck from my experience.

    Avermedia on the other hand always were very fast with their support, they are not good like Aiphone, but they 200 times better than GV. I always had my support tickets answered withing same day I posted them.

     

    As for the product, personally I think GV is better. I come from IT background and love the endless features. the more menus/options the more I like the program

     

    Avermedia is also great and solid. they let you stack 2 cards in the same machine and we have done several 32 cams system with aver. GV stuck with 16 cams on same rig.

     

    Avermedia is also much more user friendly, most my customers like it better than GV. the networking is also easier since you only need a single port open and GV requires at least 5-6 open ports.

    Aver is also a bit cheaper than GV where I buy from.

     

    hope this helps.

    the only down side is GV for us is the too many ports that needs to be open. IIRC we managed to narrow it for 5 ports total for the really needed features. anyhow, a netgear router is on the shopping list of each install we do for easy ports management.

     

    maybe give Avermedia a try. they are much more user friendly IMHO, same video quality and a signle port to open. but no one beats GV with features.
