system is operated under a high load (Recording and realtime preview of 8
channels at the same time which is under the setup of 720 x 240 resolution,15 fps
or more. These conditions mean the data flow on the PCI channel was
overloaded and data has been lost .It was recommanded that you DO NOT add
any other PCI interface cards besides our SV1010 video compression card.
Individual VGA Card and SATA HD Control Card please use other interface
besides PCI, e.g. PCI-E interface or PCI-X interface.
z Note 2: Please disable the function of Hyper Threading Technology on the
