I'm running Channels DVR fine on my set up, Xeon CPU with a P2000, but would like to know what cheaper Quadro cards you would recommend for a SFF machine with a Q6600 cpu.
Thanks everyone,
I'm using a p600 and it works fine.
Take a look at this website.
Thanks,
I have a K600 that i'll test in the machine that's going to another user.
I have a related question to this so figured I'd revive this thread...I also have a Xeon CPU running channels just fine but i wanted to add a Quadro P400 card to get hardware transcoding.
Is there anything in need to be aware of for getting this working or is pretty much just plug in the card and channels will recognize it. I'm running a Centos 7 linux server
Centos kernels can be ancient. I know its working on Ubuntu
@tmm1 Any ideas on where to start trying to figure this out? I'm not seeing Hardware transcoding as an option. I put in the card and made sure my user was added to the "video" group but that didn't seem to affect anything...
I also checked and it does seem to be recognized so kind of at a loss on how to start troubleshooting this. I've read a few things that maybe using the native Nvidia drivers could help but not real sure.

2022/07/09 22:22:23.569175 [HWE] Failure: signal: segmentation fault (core dumped)You need to install whatever package makes this available.
Linux 3.10 may be too old to get this to work. Not sure.
You definitely need to use the official nvidia drivers not nouveau
You'll need nvidia driver 470+ and can use nvidia-smi to check the version

@tmm1 just wanted to say I got this figured out and really appreciate the direction. It all worked once I got the latest Nvidia driver install but that was no small task. Disabling the nouveau driver was a royal pain in a**!!
