N2K fundamentals & essentials

By installing one or more NOVEX2000 pci cards and software you can turn a computer into a multi camera, reliable (24/7) DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER with flexible REMOTE ACCESS over the INTERNET, LAN or PHONE. The system records, displays and transmits in real-time. SIMULTANEOUS viewing/recording/playback/transmission/backup in different modes and resolutions; up to 16 cameras on one display are at your fingertips. Built-in MOTION DETECTION RECORDING, ALARM RECORDING, DAILY/weekly/holiday SCHEDULED recording, alarm SCHEDULED recording, CONTINUOUS RECORDING, SNAPSHOT recording, TIME-LAPSE recording and REMOTE recording with flexible settings of number of frames recorded for each type of recording. Monitoring of up to 16 cameras on one screen, in different, selectable matrix. Use an optional SECOND MONITOR to zoom specific video windows or to do simultaneous PLAYBACK while displaying and recording on the 1-st monitor. Add a THIRD DISPLAY - CCTV SPOT monitor, to rotate cameras or to display cameras monitoring an alarm event (motion or external trigger). Supports regular phone lines-PSTN, faster leased lines ISDN, broadband Internet ( xDSL, cable, satellite) and other TCP/IP for remote access/monitoring/recording. Use our REMOTE STATION software application to monitor multiple sites and thousands of cameras.

DISPLAYS in single channels or quad or in different multiplex modes. RECORDS in individual video channels. The NOVEX2000 LITE, PRO and PLUS pci cards are 4 video inputs cards. To support 8 cameras you need two NOVEX2000 pci cards and to support 16 cameras you need to install 4 cards; therefore the 16 camera PRO or PLUS system consists of 4 PCI cards.
However, the NOVEX2000 ELITE and EXPRESS2 are 8-input cards. The NOVEX2000 has a built in time switcher for sequencing camera views in a single or multiple windows.

Caveat Emptor! Let the Buyer Beware! Two of our first generation (OEM) versions were illegally copied, back in year 2000, and are currently being distributed worldwide. Please be a smart consumer and/or reseller and exercise your right and act on it. Information is the best defense against purchasing illegal and/or defective products or falling victim to fraudulent practices. Learn the facts. Ask questions. Be aware of current scam operations. Blow the whistle if you think you are on the receiving end of a bad deal. If it sounds too good to be true, then it most probably is. The illegal software copies are not commercial grade product and can easily be recognized: PLACE MOUSE HERE FOR DETAILS

  • unrealistically low market price ( usually less than 100 USD)
  • sales through internet auctions sites (we do not sell on-line)
  • Installation of drivers problems (Windows 2000 and Win XP).
  • DSR (Server) application version lower than v.2.0 (illegal copies are usually ver. 1.8xx or 1.7xx)
  • lack of NOVEX name in the "SYSTEM INFORMATION" box under "UTILITY" option
  • poor quality and stability of the product (note that the hardware is not an exact copy and the software has been tampered with)
  • cracking code for compression codecs and service pack for English language compatibility
  • improper installation procedure, lacking the NOVEX name and drivers
  • support of only Remote Module software and NOT of Remote Station software

  • Insist on getting version 2.2 or 2.3 or 3.0 - current, digitally signed, available through authorized NOVEX dealers and resellers - if the vendor does NOT provide the product with the above versions, you are dealing with a reseller of illegal product. Do NOT buy and report accordingly.
    The importer and distributor of illegal products is usually with connections to China and mostly dealing through on-line trading. NOVEX CANADA and its authorized distributors will NOT support users of illegal copies of the product, and will actively inform local authorities of such and will invoke legal proceedings at their own discretion.


    How to SPOT a FAKE? Each original NOVEX pci card has a security chip with a unique serial number. The security chip is the only removable chip on the NOVEX pci card and if you're in doubt - write down the serial number of the security chip and send it to us with a request for authentication, along with the company name of the vendor offering the product (include address and telephone number if possible).

    Please respect copyright and help us put an end to piracy. All "new" Pico 2000 offered today are illegal copies - just check the version number under "Utility" and "System Information" and you will see versions 1.7 or 1.8 , not to mention that the cost most likely is symbolic - 1 to 50 USD per set - a telltale sign for pirate , copy product.
