Thanks. I will reinstall with everything disconnected to see if that makes a difference. I will let you know

didn't see the need to remove serial connections before upgrading as I dont think aver would be scanning ports for POS connections? The COM port does not change and com ports are functioning correctly - I have checked the serial data coming through the ports and it is perfect. Nothing has changed except aver version. I am going to roll back to 7.3 to prove that it is a version problem

RAID will work but becomes an expensive solution as a 32 ch avermedia uses around 9TB with JBOD configuration

total bandwidth is 40-60mb on a 100mb LAN depending on detail/motion of scenes being viewed by ip cameras. The max usable safe level on 100 lan is 65-70 to be stable. HDD's are SV35.5 and max disk read/write is 20mb. The disks are rated to 140mbs so I think it is a aver issue in data handling??

through serial connection. it worked fine on 7.3 for a year and then started falling over after upgrading to 7.7

Is anyone experiencing POS problems with 7.7.0.0055SP3? since upgrading from 7.3 POS overlay drops out after an hour or so requiring a complete reboot. Does anyone know how the POS application is coded? there must be a flag or somethng not being reset in the code somewhere?

i have a number of systems running with large mp throughput. I have noticed a major limitation is with disk IO (read write speeds). When pushed too hard ie 10-15mp @30fps, the hard drives cant cope because all the cameras are writing to one drive. eventually the systems throw an 'insignificant drive space error' and i have to manually delete some files. i have asked aver to allow users to specify which cameras record on which drives. eg cam 1-8 records to drive 1 and cams 9-16 on drive 2 etc. so far no joy with aver. Geovision took this recommendation on board a long time ago and it means the system can cope better with more megapixels. Anybody else has problems with this or knows of a solution?? I've noticed that when using Sanyo cameras after a few weeks aver changes the framerate from whatever you set it to MAX (30fps). frustrating!
