Functional Features: Real-time video/audio compression with no frame loss; motion detection; OSD, LOGO, and MASK overlay; watermark technology; double encoding; variable bit rate and frame rate; full SDK and demo source code included.
Working Principle: The on-board hardware compression engine encodes analog video/audio signals from BNC inputs into H.264/OggVorbis digital streams, transferring them over the PCI bus to the host PC for recording or network streaming.
Application Scenarios: Multi-channel DVR systems for industrial and commercial security surveillance; scalable up to 64 channels by stacking cards in a single PC.
Installation & Usage Notes: Requires a PCI 2.2-compliant slot, Intel-series CPU, and a compatible motherboard (Intel 845/865/915/925/945/965 series or newer). Memory 256 MB or above recommended. Install driver and SDK, then configure channels via the provided software.
