GeoVision Portable EZViewLog for AVI Event Files
NOTE: this is not a custom software program, but simply a version of the EzLog backup program which is included with Geo.
This is for AVI Event files which may have been copied direct from the DVR or downloaded using Remote Playback.
This is the same version created from 8.1.1 when using the View Log backup feature.
If you are using Remote Playback to download video files, this will certainly help you. This allows you to watch the [downloaded] video files as if you were sitting in front of the DVR.
It helps for identifying perpetrators and following incidents, especially when viewing multiple cameras, as you can view all cameras in multi view. You can dump any Geo AVI event files into this, even as far back as a couple years ago.
All other View Log features also exist such as Timeline Search, Backup, Save AVI, etc.
This is great for Evidence Sharing such as when the Police require recorded video, and is highly recommended over just supplying them with single AVI files.
Instructions:
* Create the required camera folders (cam05, cam01, etc)
* Create the date folders (0617 - June 17th) under the camera folders
* Copy the [downloaded] AVI event files into their date folder (make sure it is the correct camera folder also).
example camera file (txt) and folder included
Once you have added all the files, use the EZRepairLog500.exe file to update the database.
* Select all cameras, click OK.
* Choose the button to browse for the default path (to the right of the label Default Path), click OK.
* You will see the default path in the list box; this is the path to the folder where EZViewlog is now located and where your video files were placed.
* Check the box "Rebuild all information.."
* Click the button "Use Default Path"
Thats it. Now you can either run EZViewLog500.exe to view the playback, or you can simply copy the entire folder to a CD or other portable media.
Additional:
The file GeoLan.ini contains the main configuration for EZViewlog. You can do most of that in the EZViewLog setup section. However in this file you can also name the cameras as well as set the default camera (the one that plays first or is in the top left window). Setting the camera names is self explanatory, but to set the default camera find this line and edit the camera number:
[4-Any]
Current=0 <-change 0 to your default camera
AVI Event File Information:
example file name:
Event20070617043855005.avi
=================
Event - default
2007 - year
06 - month
17 - day
04 - hour
38 - minutes
55 - seconds
005 - camera
.Avi - extension
Notes:
* Files from previous versions such as 7.0, will also work with this.
* When you add/delete AVI event files you must run the Repair Log to update the database.
* If you name a camera it will be the same for any AVI event files placed in that camera folder.
* You can name the EZlog folder anything you like.
