But waddaYa expect for 22.50. Tried other S/W but found nothing better that would actually work.
-IMHO-DE. This card uses a Phillips SAA7130 & 4 ADC chips instead of the more common BT8**** so it appears I'm stuck UNLESS Ya wanna try UBUNTU O/S with ZoneMinder in place of Windows XP PRO.
Bought this card because, amomg other things, it works at 120FPS (30 per camera) instead of 30FPS (7.5 per camera)- Also offers free software upgrades for this Ether9404 pci card at the Mfg.'s website: wave-p.com.I'm using 3 Swann Maxi/day/night 420 lines/resolution cameras, 1/4" Sony Super HAD; 6mm lens and 1 gadspot.com thats similiar but has 480 lines/resolution & 3.6mm lens.This card handles them well with a clean video image and does 640X480 easily, however the card gets so hot I can SMELL the burning electrical odor coming from my PC. As long as Ya just use it to monitor & manually push the record button or record continously, it seems to work OK.
530, C2D E7300 @ 2.66, 640Gb WD AAKS, 3Gb DDR2 800Mhz, cheap ATI X600 graphics card, Antec 380W PSU. Going to buy & install small heatsinks for each chip.
LOLSoftware is only OK as it will NOT do motion detection.
for wdm drivers choose a card with BT878 or BT848 chip on it. I order this card from amazon, and have it for a week with 1 cam, the manufacture is (http://www.wave-p.com/) and the card is reconize as ether9404, i got a updated version of the DVR program from the website.you will get a little more info about this card on http://www.cctvforum.com i will order more cams to test this fully, for the price this is a good product and easy to use. Down point is there is NO wdm driver for if you want to use this card with other programs.
I can't find any help on the net for tech support. The trouble is the motion detection does not work, I have tried different drivers for the card and a different program (webcam) and the motion detection just will not work. The Sabrent SC-PVS4 4-Channel CCTV DVR Surveillance System Video Security PCI Capture Card is a good idea.It has 4 independently processors to decode your video. It ran 4 cameras at 640-480 with no drag.
They Email back said they do not know how it works and not give the maker name. Sabrent is not the maker and do not know how it works.I Email to them ask when recorded hard disk hit full condition what happend and when camare loast video it show a dialog box do I need clcik that dialog box to make it continue or it can continue with human click on the message box.
I have had 1 problem, that occasionally 1 camera drops the video feed requiring a COLD Reboot of the computer, but seems to do OK even without a lot of documentation and minimal support.
