    This product requires computer professional with sufficient network and video skills to install.

    Note:

    1. It is recommended that you run NetCamCenter on a standalone PC. The result may be unpredictable if you run NetCamCenter with other applications (e.g. graphics intensive games) that lock up CPU, network or other system resources.

    2. XP Professional is recommended. Windows 2003 Server is fine but they are not designed for front end, multimedia oriented tasks. XP Professional/Home provides more multimedia related support compare to the server OSs. However, you may want to use server OS if you need to have very high video quality as the server OS supports more CPUs. Hence provide more CPU cycles for video encoding.

    For hardware, workstation class PCs with fast and large storage are recommended. Server PCs are usually designed for backend tasks (e.g. database server). Hence server PCs usually come with very limited video, multimedia, hardware compatibility/support. (E.g. you may still find server PC with old display chip and with only 8M memory today.)
