    Default Looking to build a cheap DVR.

    I came across a 4 (up to 16) port capture card with the following chipset and I want to build a cheap DVR using an old PC I have.

    Card details
    4x Conexant Fusion 878A
    3494MQ Crosspoint switch

    It is not plug and play so is not recognised by XP, tried to install the btwincap.sourceforge.net wdm drivers but locks up with all the trial versions of CCTV DVR apps Ive tried it with (luxriot, go1984 etc)

    Has anyone had any luck getting one of these cards to work under XP and can you recommend an affordable DVR security app that might work...

    Is this what the card looks like? I know kodicom uses the same chipset.

    I can't find the software, but I do have a special at the moment on entry level DVR's.



    You could get an 8ch and sell the FREE 4ch on Flea Bay, or vice versa.

    Can you just sell me a DVR for half price and save me the hassle of selling on ebay?

    I wish I could, however the promo is from the supplier. The DVR's in that promo are that price normally, except this month they are throwing in a 4ch DVR to run out old stock.

    I bought some gear of him today and the impression I got from him was that this promo hasnt been that good as everyone is starting to get rid of mpeg4 and get into the H.264, Ive bought his 8-channel H.264 model for the last 4 months and theyve been quite good even though he has been selling the H.264 for the last 6 months its strange the major suppliers havent caught up and still selling mpeg4...
