Intro...
I've finally got around to registering, been dipping in and out over the years. This is an excellent resource for everyone from novices like myself to pro installers.
I originally started out with cheap generic pci cards to convert old PC's into dvr's. They were a P.I.T.A to say the least. Eventually got around to upgrading to 1MP AHD cameras with a dedicated mix mode DVR. I went cheap again and bought a relatively unknown brand (Ankotech). Had constant problems with no help from the manufacturer. I've finally taken the plunge and upgraded to 4MP - 12MP IP cameras with a Hickvision 32Ch nvr. As I bought 2nd hand, this too has partially failed.
Looking forward to contributing where I can from the experience gained through years of mistakes
