    PowerTelecomm DVR Problems

    Does anyone have experience with port scanning that Dan is referring to? I sent Dan an email requesting for the software that he used to perform a port scan, but I have not yet heard back from him. Based on what Dan told me before, it seems almost logical that whenever hackers use port scan to hack into the DVR, DVR shutting down would be preferred for safety reasons. Regardless, I would like to let our engineers take a look at the issue and have them recreate the situation if possible. Any recommendation/feedback would be appreciated.

    PC based DVR system slow-down/froze problem.

    Hi Roger, Please keep in mind that Anti-Virus programs like McAfee and Symantec software take up lots of CPU power and should not be running on a dedicated PC DVR. Good luck

    CPcam's CPD507 or alternative??

    If you want just great recording quality, then you should get a DVR with MJPEG or Wavelet compression rather than MPEG4. MPEG4 is good due to small image file size which is preferred for network transmission. Also, MPEG4 also allows you to record more video on the HDD compared to MJPEG or Wavelet but you are sacrificing resolution in return. If you are planning on using the network feature extensively, then I would recommend an MPEG4 machine. If you are just going to use it every now and then for simple "check ups", then MJPEG or Wavelet machine should do the job at a lesser price. In terms of Stand Alone (Embedded) vs. PC, it's all based on personal preference. Some people like cold pizzas and some like it hot, but they're both good either way...

    IDIS PDR/IDR

    IDIS is probably the biggest DVR company in Korea right now. However, they don't sell directly in US because they have an exclusive rep in the States (I can't recall the name right now). I think PACOM sells alot of IDIS DVRs in Australia...

    Dual XEON Motherboard

    A friend of mine is a system integrator and he uses Supermicro for his high-end dual xeon systems. I don't know if their boards offer the specs that you're looking for, but you should check them out... Good luck.

    Which manufacturer?

    They are from the same manufacturer. However, even though they list the units to be 8-ch DVRs, I think a 4-CH picture was used on the first link and 16-CH picture on the second link.

    Which AV Tech model is this Swann 4 ch

    It looks like the 773 which is one of their more popular models. It's definitely not the 780 because 780 is their MPEG2 model and a lot more expensive than the 773.

    ISC Show, What was new and interesting

    I usually try to keep myself in the dealer section only, but I wanted to briefly mention the benefits of our new DVR "motherboard," JANUS. Its benefits probably don't apply to everyone on this board (except for its cost savings which is usually the most important factor), but it's up to you to decide if the product provides any value for you and your customers: - Shipping cost savings compared to regular stand-alone DVRs - Customs duty savings (computer boards have lower tax than DVRs) - Installers can install the board in any PC case (with a USB port - for remote control IR sensor unit) of his/her choice. Then by putting the company logo on it, you now have your own stand-alone DVR solution. - The unit could even be wall mounted or custom cases be developed for non-standard applications. - Most importantly, COST. PM or email me for dealer pricing. Interestingly enough, this product was the highlight of the show for us, especially for international customers. However, I do understand FredB's point as well... In case you're wondering about its availability, we're looking at mid May for samples in limited quantities and full production in three months. Thanks.

    AV Tech 780W DVR Motion Detection

    There is no software fix that I'm aware of for this model. Unfortunately, I don't have a model that fits your needs at this time (although we're scheduled to release a new product line at the upcoming ISC West show which would be perfect for you). If you are shopping around for a similar model that offers motion triggered recording function, just indicate your budget on your post and I'm sure you'll get at least 5 offers by the weekend. Good luck.

    AV Tech 780W DVR Motion Detection

    Unfortunately, the AV-780W does not record on camera motion detection. It only uses motion detection for video search, which is a bit odd. I'm not sure why it was made that way (perhaps an internal s/w glitch they couldn't fix?). Other than that the unit provides good video resolution and because it uses MPEG-2 compression, network video quality is above average also. I would recommend this model only for customers that need triplex function and use network video extensively. Good luck.

    Are the Nuvico Products good?

    I'm pretty sure that the unit that you have does support dns, but in order to do so you'll need to register and link your dns to a dynamic ip by using one of the free sites such as www.dyndns.org. This should've been explained on your product manual. If it's not, then you should definitely complain to the manufacturer...

    Swann 9 Channel DVR and Multiplexer

    FYI - I believe the one you found at Fry's is the non-networkable model, which is usually priced about $150-$200 less than the network models (like the AVC-776W that Rory linked).
