GINOSMYTH 0 Posted January 14, 2011 Hi Guys, Have just bought a 27X PTZ speed dome camera and have several low 'standard' cameras (0-1 lux sony ccd) I currently use a generic 4 channel pci card with pico 2000 software but not really happy with the performance. I also have a swann 4 channel pci card that is essentially the same, think they may be a cheap copy of a Geovision card? I'm not sure whether to go the standalone dvr or the computer card route. I have a couple of PC's sitting around at the mo. I know the PC is more versatile, but tempted to say a good standalone will be a easier option I need remote viewing, and ideally for the iphone and also PTZ controls (up to 4 cams), perhaps 100fps, but nothing else too fancy. My budget is around 200 pounds. Can anyone advise and recommend a system and I'm mew to CCTV and don't know what is available on the market. Any advice much appreciated best wishes - Brian G Smyth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
