• Minimum PCI 2.0 compliance is required, some older SiS Chipset motherboards are not recommended.
  
  
• PC Surveillance Builders - We recommends Microsoft Windows XP Pro / Service Pack 2 as a base foundation for a brand new systems. If cumulative updates after SP2 are required we recommend to perform these cumulative updates at later time after server has fully tested and burn in for a solid week.
  
  
• REALTIME RECORDING SPECIFICATION PCI - Refers to single PCI DVR card that can record at 30 frames per second with all channels, this is also a software controlled peek at 30fps in sigle PCI card mode keeping system in its balanced performance through put.
  
  Example, a single PCI RW-1240R has 8 channel video with max frame per second combined of 240 fps (8 channels x 30 fps = 240 fps). After symmetrical upgrade, adding 2nd RW-1240R in to the same system, then the maximum recording fps for each channel is distributed to a maximum of 15fps (240 fps max / 16 total channels = 15 fps max per channel).
  
  
• Symetrical PCI Upgrade Solutions - by adding same model of PCI DVR Cards will provide more video / audio inputs totaal. There is no need to remove or reinstall existing DVR software, simply add in the same PCI DVR Cards, the windows operating system will automatically recognize the additional PCI hardware and configures itself for immediate use.
