Does not work with Windows XP Pro 64 bit Bought this card for use in a Windows XP Pro 64 bit machine. Everything installs with out any errors. But the device shows up without a driver in the hardware list.
video card went through 3 of these they short out or over heat or are just are poorly made
VERY INCOMPATIBLE, TECH SUPPORT LANGUAGE BARRIER. PURCHASED THIS CARD TO MONITOR OUR STOREFRONT. ERROR MESSAGES ON INSTALL 15 SECONDS INTO IT. WAITED ON HOLD FOR SUPPORT UPWARDS OF 40 MINUTES, THEY WERE NO HELP. THEIR REMEDY WAS TO REFORMAT. CALLED 2 DAYS LATER, TALKED TO A DIFFERENT PERSON, HE WAS VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND. WE WENT THROUGH 45 MINUTES OF INSTALL THIS, DOWNLOAD THAT, MOVE THIS, REINSTALL THIS, THAT, THIS, NOTHING WORKED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Where's the beef? Any computer hardware is useless without the proper drivers to power them and this pice of hardware is incompatible with Vista.
The incoherent manual is well documented by other users, so no further comment is needed.
The card did work well enough intitally, before crashing my system.
Kinda neat - great starter for DIY home security First, I had no trouble installing it and getting it to work. The problem I did have is that the camera I was using to test the card didn't work... that was frustrating. But, when I tried another camera everything worked as it is supposed to. The software is by no means perfect but if you will find out everything you need to do by tinkering for a bit. Notice, I have not tried the whole remote viewing Internet thing->I can imagine that will take a lot more tinkering time. All in all, I am quite pleased with the card and wish I got better cameras. Thanks.
