If you want stability and dependability, Goevision is the way to go. I have tested few different cards to incorporate into commercial video surveillance unit and GV card came a winner.
It had built in watchdog that will reset computer upon lockup and does not require propriatory software to access video or playback over the internet. It downloads its own player. It will stream in MPEG 4 or send JPEG.
It also has imbedded support for PTZ cameras (6 or 7 types). I also found that it should be running on a dedicated system. The best combo I found:
P4 1.8GHz and up
256 MB RAM for 8 cameras, 512 for 16
Asus mother board, stay away from VIA
NVidia 64 MB video card
GV600 or better
Also decide if you need 4, 8 or 16 port card because there is no upgrade or add on card. Specs and info on their site - http://www.geovision.com.tw
