Graphic cards are said to
have great influence on the DVR Cards. What graphic cards
do you recommend?
The first recommendation would be the graphic cards manufactured
by ATI(Rage 128pro, Radeon) or above.
Another recommendation would be the GeForce2 MX 200/400, or above
from nVIDIA, We recommend using the drivers which we supply
with our DVR software.
What are the backup devices
supported by the system?
Data backup devices include CD-RWs, DVD-RAMs, DVD-RWs, DATs,
etc., any device that Windows recognizes as a drive, and
you can also backup on a network drive.
The unit of the data is 1 minute, and can only be viewed
through the supplied Backupviewer. Data backup is also possible
on the Search program, where it can be saved in AVI format,
making it conveniently viewable through the Windows Media
Player(by enabling "View-Caption" from the menu,
you can also conform information data).
Windows 98 uses the FAT32
file system, while Windows 2000/XP also supports the NTFS
file system. Which file system should I use?
Each file system has advantages and disadvantages to them,
but we recommend the FAT32 method over the NTFS system.
Using the NTFS system as your database can result in small
data glitches.
What are the precautions
when recording sound?
With Windows 98 or 2000, Direct X 8.0 or better must be
installed. Windows XP is supplied with Direct X 8.0.

What can be done about dynamic
IP?
Currently dynamic IP systems are more popular than fixed
IP systems, including many of the ADSL and Cable modem systems,
meaning that the IP address will change frequently.

whenever the system starts, to the user designated e-mail
address. You can use this address to log-on to the DVR
system.
