kensplace 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Anyone know the going end-user rate for a fastar digital commander dvr? or even ballpark figure for a branded, linux based standalone, 8 camera, full pal resolution recording at full 25fps per camera, 2.25 gig hdds, NAS network attached storage expandable, ethernet capabilities, built in telemetry control (not sure what protocols yet) Im guessing it would be rather costly to buy new? Just curious, as (fingers crossed, one will be arriving soon.....another bargain if it does arrive...) Never heard of them until now, they are current models, UK based, seem pretty good, but I wont know till I try it I guess... if it arrives that is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kensplace 0 Posted April 14, 2007 It did arrive, no software though, so going to have to wait until visimetrics gets back to me with a download link for the control software. Hopefully sometime soon - thats if they bother replying at all..... Going to have to wait until I can figure it out more (ideally with the proper software) before commenting on the quality, as the config at present may not be at its best, a bit like the out of the box config for geo is. Build wise its very solid, and looks new apart from a small dint at the rear on top and a tiny one front corner, probably over zealous postal workers at some point in its life.... 1U rackmount, nice stylish silver, front display (small lcd, not much use really, but still nice), solid buttons,plenty of fans (but very noisy), 2 hard drives fitted (only 900 gig in total, not as much as I was led to believe, but still a bargain for the price so not that fussed the seller got it wrong) No idea how to login yet via telnet, get the login prompt but stuck at that point without more info. The web interface just shows me status messages, so I guess a download is needed to control it fully. Just sitting waiting for them to reply, which hopefully wont take much longer, seeing as they claim to have the best support.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kensplace 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Yippeee! They got back to me, with the control software needed! Installed it, and its looking excellent so far, but obviously a few minutes is not long enough to get to know a system. Quality is looking excellent so far, very good - kindof can see why they use these things in casinos.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
