    It's time to update the cameras on a dual NV8416E4 DVR computer. It currently is running 24 analog cameras. I'm looking for 1.3MP ~ 2.0MP IP dome or vandal proof cameras that have a water resistance rating of IP64 or higher.

     

    There are so many great choices for HD IP cameras now.

    Price range per camera $180~$250USD.

     

    What have you guys used & installed?

    I'm building a system with an i7 950 and two 6480 cards right this moment..

     

    I'll post my findings here as soon as the installer is done.

     

    The system has TWO 6480 cards. What resolution are the IP MP cameras recording at?

    New Avermedia NVD4VIEXT for NV5000 DVR card. $25

    Add 4channel of video to your existing AVerDiGi NV5000 DVR PCI card.

    Just plug in NVD4VIEXT to a NV5000, then boot your PC-based DVR computer.

    Avermedia DVR software will automatically recognize the NVD4VIEXT card.

    It's that simple.

     

    Includes:

    NVD4VIEXT card

    ribbon cable

     

    Shipping USPS small flat rate box. $4.85

    I tested CNB DFL-20s.

    It's color is very low light conditions.

    In extremely low light it does switch to BW.

    It switches back to color very fast with very minimal light.

    Pitch black room, it is grainy and completely dark, as expected.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

     

    All great questions.

     

    Environmental housing will be used. Both cameras point to a entrance/exit to an motel. The metal door swing open away from the camera. Field of view would be from door to street, entire sidewalk, 12ft wide. There is ambient light all day. Night viewing is required, low lux and/or IR needed. Backlighting maybe an issue for the east facing camera.

    I have a client requiring two box cameras for outdoor use.

     

    Camera 1 - 15ft above ground level 17 feet from main entrance, pointing south.

    Camera 2 - 15ft above ground level, 20 feet from rear exit, pointing east.

     

    They have an existing standalone DVR.

     

    must be at least 520TVL

    must be analog

    must be color

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your input on your build. I've contacted USA AverMedia Tech support in regards to the H.264 limitation with 7.7.0.0015. This is their response:

     

    "Dear Customer,

     

    I was able to get some information about the issue that you are having, it is

    one of the limitation on the card due it to it being a software compression

    card so it relies more on the CPU to push the compression when in H.264. From

    the information that I was provided R&D will be pushing out a new software

    version that will allow you to achieve better FPS when using H.264 with CORE

    i7 chips. I don't know the exact amount or when this release will happen.

    sorry for the inconvenience."

     

    So, GV.Jackie is not correct about Core i7 CPUs.

    Does anyone have any experience with cheap China video balun from ebay?

     

    like these;

    The 1st one from ebay looks identical to this one.

    fcaw11,

     

    Can you list the components that you used with your nv8416?

     

    Are you able to achieve the rate of 30fps at 720x480(D1) using H.264 for each camera?

     

    Thank you.

     

    Core i5 750 w/stock cooler

    Asus P7P55 WS Supercomputer motherboard

    4GB DDR3 OCZ3X16004GK

    Nvidia 9800GT x16 PCIe 2.0 video card

    80GB WD boot drive

    2 x 1TB data drives

    DVD-RW optical drive

    XP Pro SP3 32-bit

    2 x NV8416 E4

     

    Unfortunately no, can not record 30fps D1 using H.264 on all 32 cameras. Currently recording in Mpeg4, 30fps D1.

     

    GV.Jackie stated it is a CPU limitation with the Core i5 750.

     

    If you build with a Core i7, let me know how the H.264 works for you.

     

    THANKS!

    Too late when I see this. Since price is not an issue, why not go with i7, with i7 CPU, you can have H.264 960 D1 recording for 32 channels. Their system have a checkin mechanism, when the CPU is i7, H.264 compression limitation will be lifted and you can go full speed for H.264. Anyway, too late for this case, for your future reference.

     

    Thank you for the heads up! I was not aware of the Core i5 limitation on H.264 recording. It's not stated in Avermedia literature. I searched and found handful distributors carrying the NV8416 in the USA.

     

    The warning message when setting recording to 30 FPS 720x480 H.264 is:

    "H.264 recording FPS for analog camera cannot exceed 280 CIF / 70 D1 in the system. Your setting of H.264 recording FPS is 2400 and may compromise the performance and stability of the system. Please reduce H.264 recoding FPS."

     

    So are you stating with any Core i7, such as a Core i7 860, H.264 limitation will be lifted? I could just replace the CPU to an 860 then.

    I tried Win7 Ultimate 32-bit with two NV8416 E4 cards, softwware version 7.7.0.15. Must adjust UAC in WIN7 to lowest setting. At first it seemed to work well with all default setting with the NV DVR software. When checking the following options in system settings->login tab; auto login when OS start, Auto record when login, Auto start Network when login.

     

    Problems:

     

    1. Unable to view any of the cameras.

    2. NV DVR starts in compact mode

    3. When trying to login, multiple login windows appear.

    4. unable to login. I had TWO administrator accounts. Both failed.

     

    Solution.

     

    Installed XP Pro 32-bit SP3, Runs GREAT!
