It's probably a software issue. Tempest dvrs are notorious for having issues. I would reload the 4.6.6 software. Or give up and use the mouse, works better anyway.

I installed a few Tempest DVRs... They have NVidia video cards with s-video, vga, and newer units have digital output. They come with an s-video to bnc connector. (i don't like to use the s-video, vga is better) I personally like these units... Not a bad unit for the price. I have some small issues with Tempest, but their software has improved in the past year. As for demos, the IE interface is horrible. Interceptor client software is nice.

2 - I think it's only 30 fps per video card? 5 - You have to enter the correct ip address (66.159.200.137) 7 - I've also experienced this on the 8000 series, but it doesn't seem to be a problem on the 9000 series. Also on the 8000 series, when the s-video and vga are used together - the resolution only goes up to 800x600. 9000 will do 1024x768 RSS

Do you know who really makes it? what kind of cards?

Does anyone know anything about this unit? Looks like a P.O.S to me. 16 ch - 30 fps - 280gb I have to use this for a bid spec, but will try and talk them out of it. thanks RSS

we're talking around 1000 for 12 ch, 1500 for 16 ch. Yes I can see slight performance change between amd and P4

I just installed a 12 channel 8000 tempest yesterday... Very stable. You can use ir remote, mouse, or keyboard. As per price, they are very inexpensive. I doubt you could build a better machine yourself for the price. I also have 2 - 16 channel 9000 series here which I'm using to replace bad Nuvicos 12 channel 8000 series contains: Semperon motherboard with nvidia video card. cd-r Capture cards are from Hauppauge, but I think are custom made for them. 16 channel 9000 contains: Hugh rack mount case 19" x 21" Intel P4 motherboard Nvidia video card cd-r raid capable Hauppauge cards Remote software is pretty good built-in web server and free remote server dynamic ip Upgrade, boot, shutdown from local or remote excellent motion detection

Has anyone ever used a Tempest 9000? My dealers are really pushing these... http://www.tempestinc.com

Sorry, I need 2 DVRs - $2000 each RSS

I've been using Nuvico DV series dvrs for quite some time and recently had a problem with a (2) 16 channel, 600gb dvr setup. My problem is severe lag time in motion recording (7 seconds to be exact) What I'm looking for is something to replace these units with: Excellent motion software good network software (2 dvrs, so multi is nice) of course good quality and compression. I'm trying to stay around $2000 Also, I will have (4) 300GB drives which would be nice to use Any help would be much appreciated. If you know of any demo sites please let me know. Thanks RSS
