16-Channel PCI Capture Card

The VideoSecu DVC1612 is a PCI video capture card designed for PC-based surveillance systems. It accepts live feeds from up to 16 cameras and four audio inputs simultaneously. Installation requires an Intel-based PC running Windows XP, 2000 or 98 and intensive technical knowledge. It is not compatible with Windows 7, Vista 64-bit or AMD platforms.

Build Integration

The card occupies a standard PCI slot and connects directly to analogue camera cables, replacing a standalone DVR appliance. It frees up rack space by moving recording duties to the host computer. The package includes the card, a driver CD and manual; no extra software purchase is needed for web-based remote viewing. Buyers without legacy OS hardware or deep CCTV experience should look elsewhere.

Upgrade Path

This card upgrades a basic PC into a 16-channel recording station with 120 fps total throughput and resolutions up to 640 x 480 NTSC. It adds MPEG4 and motion JPEG compression, per-channel recording controls and advanced date-based event search. The jump is worthwhile when consolidating multiple analogue cameras onto one Windows XP-era machine. It does not support modern operating systems or higher-definition IP cameras.
