8 Channel H.264 PC DVR Card

DVC-CPHC80 Description

Here is a 8 channel DVR card, made by Geovision. This is a hi quality DVR capture card. You can use this card to build a PC based DVR. This card is a little different than our DVC-CPHC40. This card supports up to 240 frames per second. Which is double than a what you can get from a 4 channel DVR card. However, this DVR card has H.264 compression, which creates great video on display and on playback. This DVR card comes with software too. The software is very user-friendly and takes only a few hours to get us to. The software comes with a remote/client software. This enables you to login to the DVR from a remote computer, laptop, and or cellphone. This eight channel DVR card is used to grow DVR systems of 16 channels, 18 channels and 24 channel DVRs. If you are looking into a CCTV application of that size you will need to think about your record time. The more capture cards you install into your mother board, the more frames per second you are going to have recording. For example, if you add two eight channel DVR cards, then you will have 460 frames per second instead of 240 frames per second. If you run the DVR software to record at real time recording, then you will eat a lot of hard drive space fast. If you are looking at a CCTV setup that runs on real-time recording, then you want to invest into at least 500 gigs of hard drive space or more to keep enough video on hand. There are many different reasons why you want this. Every security application is different and if you are unsure how to calculate the right amount of hard drive space, then you can use our DVR hard drive calculator to get a better perspective on how many hard drives you need to use to reach your target record time.

DVC-CPHC80 Setup Requirements

To successfully make sure your DVR runs smoothly you will need to make sure you have all the right parts to ensure 100% efficiency. This DVR card will run best on a Windows platform. You will need to install an Intel Pentium 4 processor or higher, an Intel mother board and at least 1 GIG of memory. Also make sure you format your hard drives before installing them! We recommend using at least combined total of 500 gigs of hard drives on an 8 channel DVR or above. This will ensure that you have enough video to study and help you learn how to better secure your home, business, or operation. We also recommend that you get a well ventilated DVR case or PC tower and keep cool air passing through. Do not place your security DVR inside an entertainment center or in any room with no air flow. Over heating will cause circuits to go bad over within a few months.
