These questions was emailed to CCTV Camera Pros:

say I have an 8 camera computer based surveillance system that came with a dvr software and I am not happy with the software. Do you have just the software that will work on a computer and run my cameras? It has a card that plugs into the computer. Tell me what is require or information I need to send you for compatibility.

CCTV Camera Pros response:

CCTV Camera Pros has excellent PC based surveillance software supplied by NUUO and Geovision. Their software will only work with the DVR cards that they manufacture though. In order to switch the surveillance software on your PC, you will also need to switch the DVR card to the particular vendor's surveillance software that you like. I recommend taking a look at NUUO DVR cards and Geovision DVR cards. You can also find more information about each of them here:

CCTV Camera Pros response:

All of the specs look fine except that both Geovision and NUUO recommend using a nvidia or ATI graphics card instead of using on board video embedded into the motherboard of the PC. It looks that your PC does not have a separate graphics card so you should plan on adding one. When you do that, be aware that the 275 watt power supply may not be sufficient for the system after you add the graphics card and DVR card. CCTV Camera Pros builds systems with a minimum 400 watt power supply.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank You.
