Re: Security DVR Advice Needed

["JOhn" <barnesj@xxxxxxx>]

Ive never had much luck with pc-based servers, due to reliability issues.
It seems theres too many support variables with Windows, cards, software
etc.

I have experience with some stand alone solutions:

"Dedicated Micros, DS2-DX9C-320" is a rock solid 9 channel DVR that Ive
installed a few times without any call backs. Full  features are available
via web control, but priced out of reach for most of my customers, at around
5,000.00.

Also the "Everfocus EDSR9" is a similar product, but with fewer features.
Its a good buy if youre only interested in viewing/recording remotely and
not concerned with complete remote administration and control.  It sells for
1125.00 CDN
