Customer Rating:      Summary: security at an affordable price Comment: Am using the Q-See PCI DVR card with an HP computer that is dedicated to home phone (VoIp), Skylink Security system and the Q-See 4 channel card for surveillance cameras. The card installed with ease and has met expectations. It allowed me to keep from buying a dedicated DVR and use a computer I had around the house (Windows XP OS, 2.7 gig single processor, 2 gig ram, 320 external USB hard drive that offers ample storage for 4 cameras). The software running the card allows for motion detection and 1, 2 or 4 split screen mode. In researching and using various security cameras and equipment, I have found that you are pretty much on your own with the DIY home surveillance set-up as ALL instructions with ALL brands I use leave a lot to be desired. That said, this product does what it is supposed to do and at an affordable price. Yes, you can use this running in the background of a computer (with reasonable processing capability) that you use daily as it does not require an over abundance of processing power to function.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Driver is difficult to load Comment: When able to get DVR card driver loaded (with my operating system was very difficult) the product worked ok. The manual is poorly written and not user friendly.
