ian.cant Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 By far the best PC based DVR ive seen is the DOWSHU kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB_ Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I tend to favour towards any of Dowshu, the Lilin PVH (linux based) or the Dallmeier dvr's. All have downsides though. Dowshu's dont have much in the way of video output's, only choice of 1 composite or 1 Svga. Lilin's I find are let down by the playback screens. Dallmeier's are a bit tough to get to grips with for the occasional user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackers Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks for the advice so far.......the issue is that iam quoting against another company who put the "pc dvr" idea in the customers head.It has to have at least 6 inputs with motion detection,and audio if possible.He also needs to intergrate the system into his home tv network (this is a domestic install with a bigger commerial contract to follow) so that when a camera detects motion the camera in question will display as a PIP on the tvs through out the house.Its a bit of a tricky one so any help is greatly recieved .

ian.cant Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Its a bit of a tricky one so any help is greatly recieved . My best suggestion now then is to speak to the manufactures direct, let them sell the system to your client as they will know much more about theyre kit than you will. And they should be able to do demo on site for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get PIP boxes, you just need to interface it to the TV system (several ways, depending on how the c\s wants it to work and what they've got) and then feed it with an input from the alarm output on the DVR. This sometimes requires some 'modifying of equipment'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonThePro Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 just checked out their site looks interesting.SCT are the wholesaler for avermedia products and geovision products has anyone had any dealings with these companies ? The geovision systems are ok, reasonably user friendly. Nice and easy from evidential aspect for the police to come along copy out all the original files as they are just avi's stored in a separate folder for each camera and names with year,month,day,time. Compression quality on the systems I have seen has been ok although this is probably adjustable and like most things only as good as its weakest part.

Guest Rockford Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 a stand alone DVR that uses a mouse for control, the principle of using it with a mouse stays the same.Do you know of a good DVR with simple mouse control? For a "standalone" DVR, a DVR controlled by a standard computer mouse would be a Vision Factory Cameo D1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
