20104u 0 Posted January 4, 2010 Hi all, Need some help with choosing a security camera and a pci cctv card specifically what to look for. I will be installing 8 camera so I think I need 2 pci card. Do the card come with its own software or need to purchase software separately? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpzle 0 Posted January 5, 2010 stay far away from ebay. most "pci" cards come with software. manufacturers make 4, 8, and 16 channel capture cards. i guess you could buy 2, 4 channel cards but why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cctv_down_under 0 Posted January 12, 2010 There are many to choose from, all of which pretty much come out of Asia - I would steer well clear from EBAY products and would pcik a more well known brand, as you can see from the section in this forum that covers such cards there is also a sub section on Geovision and Avermedia - this is because these 2 x are the most popular cards on the market - you will only need 1 x card for 8 cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwertopolik 0 Posted January 28, 2010 A friend of mine tried Ascendent Technology's new X4 system and won't stop raving about it. I played around on his system and it's actually pretty decent. Might wanna check it out. And you only need one card I'm pretty sure. http://www.ascendentgroup.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
