Re: DVR Cards

["Doug L" <vssdoug@xxxxxxx>]

Its really a matter of horses for courses, the local gas station or liquor
store probably doesn't need a $8000 DVR, and LAX or JFK Intl  are probably
going to want a little more than a Celeron box with a  $100 counterfeit
Geovision card wedged inside it

As to reliability, I've had about the same failure rate with the hard drives
in name brand embedded units as I've had in lower priced PC based systems,
the difference being you have to ship the name brands back for repair, the
PC based machine you can replace the hard drive in one service call
