This review is from: Swann SWRPCDVR4 4 Channel 4 Camera Security Card
Pros:
Decent price, especially if it's on sale. Manufacturer is in an English speaking country, it's refreshing to have tech support that can understand you.
Cons:
It wont work with built in video so you need a separate video card...that I knew, what I didn't know and what isn't said anywhere, is that the motherboard must not have any video built in at all. You can't just add a video card. I don't understand why it wont work, but there you are. I had ordered 2 of these cards, plus a video card, to turn one of my old computers into a recorder and I ended up having to order a new motherboard as well.
Overall Review:
If you have a motherboard with on board video you'll have to buy a new motherboard without video and a video card to get this to work. It may not be worth it then, and you might want to look into an all in one unit instead.
