They are high end pc based systems. Extremely expensive.

Well, not a card, but I just saw this embedded DVR and it has MPEG2. It is from All Digital Security (not the source, but another back yard SoCal DVR guy).

I'll see if I can find out but you might have a better chance than I would since they view me as a competitor. In fact if you email them and get some pricing please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Alan, I got some pricing and info. Ill PM you when I read through it. They actually look like some very good DVRs, and the price is not that high. High quality looking DVR, lots of features, embedded Linux or PC based stand alones. Optional CDRWs and some professional remote software. Multiple audio imputs, 2 way audio on the PC stand alone units, mini cases. Plus they have a SDK. Talked to them on the phone yesterday.

As far as DVR's there are many that record in MPEG2. Contrary to some of the comments in this thread, MPEG2 does not need a lot of drives for storage. Depending on the algorithm used, MPEG2 can take up far less space then other compression technologies. MPEG2 is basically a "refresh" technology that updates at predetermined cycles upon specific change.

 

Example: Sanyo's DSR-M810H600 is a single channel digital recorder with MPEG2 compreesion and a 600gb hard drive that was designed primarly for use in casinos. This half-size chassis unit can record 35 days of 30fps at a crystal-clear resolution of 720x480.

this is true, even the cheapies from AVTECH can do MPEG2 now, mind you a lot of casinos are switching from DVR's to NVR, the reason is that they can store the data at the camera end, and only get it when needed, or they transmit on MPEG4 and then when they need to retrieve they can get it from the camera on MPEG2 quality...

 

Lots of hybrid DVR's coming out now too, and the best bit, no extra wiring, just do it all on an encrypted wireless network

Hmmm, im getting 4 cameras at 8fps per camera, 2 months on a 40GB .. wavelet.

 

But for remote video Mpeg4-s definately is much much faster.
