G-Max 600 - 16 port video capture card

[Robert Oaks 0]

I am paying over $600.00 for a G-max 16 port, 30fps card, with 6.2 software. Is this a decent price, or can I do better? Thank you.

It may be of some help.

In any case .... 16 port ??

On the surface it looks a good price.

Just remember 1 camera 30 fps , 2 cameras 15 fps etc.

Thanks for your reply: we do not always use 16 cameras. Usually about 9 or 10. However, when used with "motion only" recording, the results are OK. We are recording about 2gb per day, 5 days a week.

What compression is it?

Not sure of the compression: whatever will work the best I guess???
