Ok i need to be sure because someone around here swears to me that geovision cards can be stacked...I was always told they cannot be stacked.
Anyone no of this.

The GV2008 can be stacked for a max of two cards and 16 channels. They even come with the cable to connect them together.

The older GV cards cannot be stacked.

Forestarius did you try it yourself?
thats the first time I hear this is doable to stack GV cards..

I have not done it myself. The GV-2008 card comes with an extra instruction sheet that shows how to setup one as master and one as slave and how to hook up the two together with the cable.

I don't see any of it listed in the two Version 8.2 manuals printed in January, so this is probably something new.

The older card models don't have this capability as far as I know and would not have a place to hook up the cable.

yes possible with 2008 cards

or wait for 8.3 (will support multiple cards, believe 32 channels max and NVR even 64). They did demo it on ifsec.

yes the 2008 cards.
In fact, the 250-800s on the manufacturer site lists them as stackable, so its just a limit in the drivers/software.

thanks for the scanning. I just saw today in the manual about that, just the pages you scanned.
That's seems much nicer 16CH hardware compression. I have to test it now :)
