Re: Geovision & HA

["christopher purves" <CHRIS_PURVES@xxxxxxx>]

Hmm,

I may just have to bite the bullet and pay for a version 8 card rather than
the ebay route (perhaps thats why these cards are appearing on ebay - don't
support version 8). Certainly the ebay ones seem to be half the retail cost
but then again all trade prices in CCTV seem around half retail so they
could just be selling at trade prices.
